Just took the pig out of the garage after a couple months of work. Actually, a couple weeks of work took a couple months:D got slider tubes from Lance at IPOR installed onto the 4x4 rockers I added over the summer. Mostly ready to wheel:beer:

1.5 " Spacers from Marlin, notice the 12:50's stick out on the 10" rims for a nice stable stance (we'll see about rubbing soon).

remounted the front bumper and added top-frame mounted hooks for snatching, worked out well..

still going to add a pintle hook this week to the rear bumper and figure out a couple wiring gremlins but otherwise, I am pleased with this iteration.
 
you shouldve brought that thing out today man....i woulda been home in like 5 minutes....looks good though...you should definitely come out and :grinpimp: test it out sometime this weekend
 
SOOO-WEEET!

I'm eyeing the rear quarters... reaching for the sawzall...

Nice rig.

:cheers:
 
Surfpig...you have a sawzall? Can I come over?

Oh, btw, nice Pig Wayneraintree.
 
Lookin good. Like the rear quarters. Makes me want to not repair them. I found out the importance of sliders last weekend after my pass. side rockers got in a fight with a log. Needless to say the log won.

I believe that the rear quarter sliders help alot since I am not deprived of clearance, I usually end up landing on the large rocks more than anything else. They provide landing gear : ) Thanks for the props, can't wait to hit some trails soon and hopefully with other piggies!
 
Congrats on completeing some of the work it looks great with a touch of mean.

I really like the paint job

usually sanding and painting takes its toll on the wrist, but I guess since you have such strong muscles in your wrist, the elbow was the next to go :grinpimp:

lookin good.....how about taking it down to GSMTR?

I actually have some friends coming here for that week because they go to GSMTR every year and alternatively planned to come here because they've been trying to get up here for a while. It would be really cool to have both our 55's wheel with them. .. a bunch of buggified mini's and sami's... let me know if you're in..
