New Piggie build, Big Red Pig or BRP. (1 Viewer)

[FJ60Mike]

So its only been two years since I have posted, guess its time to get back to work on this thing.
Kids, work, and moving sure make time go by
Have been using my piggie pretty much as a DD for the past year. Turned in my work lease and never replaced it. Don't think I'm going to go through another summer with just the pig tho, time for something a little more comfortable...or at least some AC!
Have decided to keep the patina look, will probably clear coat. Need to work on a couple of rust spots first. Hoping to find a Bobm fender patch, see pic. Anyone have an extra?
Thank you to the members on here for all the help past, present and future!

Still around and peak in here every once in a while. Miss following some of the builds and seeing what everyone is up to. Just finished my shop, so I can finally get some real work done. Have a few projects and my ADD makes it hard to work on just one and get anything finished.
Hope ali is well!

Looks to be lifted a bit now? Looks good.

Ended up with about a 2 1/2" lift. Got the springs locally from another member on here. Would have liked a bit more of a lift but it worked out pretty good.

Couple of small pigcomplishments this weekend. Wiper fluid and coolant bottles installed and ET working. Small miracles are good.

The old girl still has a little pull left in her.

Nice, they need a work out once in a while. Looks like Summer there, jealous.

Can't complain about the weather out here that's for sure (maybe a lot of other stuff tho)...Shorts, t-shirt and a little yard work today, not bad.

Yep. Have started tearing that one apart for a full redo. Could use your metal skills for this one!

Truck looks good in it's lived in state. I like the faded patina look. Really nice lift and tires too.
