"Oh $h!t, these folks are nuts

Well we kinda are!

 

[bobm]

Kinda? .

Exactly,

We should buy 55’s because they are truly unique, we should spend countless hours and dollars rebuilding our truly unique 55’s to be our own version of a truly unique 55 then paint it green and white like all the other truly unique 55 owners.

Next their going to tell me I need a white 80.

Is your 80 GREEN?

I don't think Jim likes green/white Pigs...

I have a H1 Hummer too, if you want to see crazy people go to hummernetworkforums.com lol. But I have had 100x Toyotas I went to college T-Ten for Toyota I worked for them and my first car when I was 14 was a 71' FJ-40 and then I had a 89' FJ-62 all through college and high school you can see the story on my other thread I found the guy who owns it now and he refuses to sell! So screw him I'm going to restore this Pumpkin Pig and buy some white wall tires for it!

Now I just need a center dash pad that goes below the heater controls.......

 

[mk1spyder]

Oh I also have a White FZJ-80 for sale lol

Going to be hard to find a good one, just keep looking.

Ha….No.



Still mad at all you guys that painted your pigs green and white before I got here.

I would have liked the option to pant my pig a good looking factory pant scheme and still be unique.

Is the one listed on cruiseryard.com what I need? Can't tell if that is for an early or late truck.

Nope, going to say with just boring old single color blue for now..

 

[Megadoomer]

Not boring. It's my second favorite pig. I like black. Infact I'm trying to make it more black. If I were to two tone it I would have it black with blue metal on bottom and black with pearl silver flake on top. Satin finish of course. It was a Smurf/white originally.

Hey does anyone know if the exhaust valves on the F155 are the same as the 2F one of mine is burnt.

 

[fj55tlc]

I believe they are all the same size. Some aftermarket list all the years. You may have to update the keepers though.

I love this. Reminds me of my favorite movie:

"How much more black could it be?"

The answer is none...

"None more black"

Personally, I'd go with a Chevy valve if I were replacing valves on a 2F.

I found some new old stock Toyota valves, and the center dash pad I was missing. The restoration begins!
