New Pig, Who Dis?

[Buta55]

Taking delivery of this pig tomorrow. Had my eye on the 55 for 30yrs and finally pulled the trigger.

Let me know what you hate the most, so we can get that out of the way…

Possible nail in the left front tire!

Wouldn’t change a thing, there’s just something about a well worn pig!

Congrats

The backup lights get in the way of the tailgate folding down.

Non-issue. Tailgate is broken

What is there to hate ?

 

[sahelzer]

Love the, “Hey you! out of the gene pool” That is keeper. Few other classics as well.

I would ditch the mud flaps, but that's just me.

The quarter panels, get rid of the aluminum.

Looks like you will be having lots of fun with your project.

I love fj55s too. That winch is nice! looks like a great start. I would take those lights off the back though. and that rear pumper seems slightly overkill haha.

I'd love to have a pig like that! I would ditch the diamond plate though, and repair what's hiding underneath.

Takes someone about a half bubble off plumb to run a pig, then multiply that by 50 years and you have an awesome rig. I'd lose the bow tie up front.

Flaps and bumpers were near the top of my list…

Thanks for being a pest for the last 15years and convincing me…

‘Half bubble off plumb’ is my new favorite.

Tailgate is broken

Then that's the new thing i H8. A Pig with non-functioning tailgate is less than a Pig. So, is it a rear window problem (not unusual) or is it a true tailgate issue (not unusual)?
