[Iron_Pig]

When I saw the thickness and overall heavy duty design of my FJ40 I nick-named it the "Iron Pig". As I became more associated with "Cruiser-heads" I'm under the impression that the term Iron Pig was first given in reference to the FJ60's. Is that correct?

It depends on who you ask- I've only had my FJ55 a couple of years, but I thought it was the older 55 wagons that were called Iron Pigs. Old Land Rover Defender 110's are called "Pigs" too. But what's in a name?

Here's some "Pig" links that I have seen and like.

No, Iron pig refers to FJ55s.
