Overland Pig update (1 Viewer)

[DanTCook]

Hey fellas.......I didn't receive a notice of additional posts/questions. Sorry!

The roof (and rear windows) have molle panels made by www.custommollepanels.com. They are great to work with and can make panels out of almost anything......steel, aluminum, HDPE, etc.

The sun visors are Rosen. A secondary set is fixed for the windshield, the primary set can also pivot to cover the side.

Attached are a couple of photo updates.

Thanks for your interest in the build.

Always looking forward to seeing new progress on your build, @DanTCook .

Rule of thumb - if you’re making a post about it on IG, you’ll need to post the same here. And for clarity, this place is actually more important to make Cruiser posts than IG. Heads up.

Thanks for the info. The GF posts stuff to IG....I don't really monitor social media....except to occasionally follow stories/photos of people who are traveling in places that I wish I was (currently) traveling.

Speaking of traveling.......here is a photo of the rig that I drove around the world 2006-2008......and a couple of photos of the (then) "newly built" Trans-Siberian Highway. I've heard that it's paved now......

Can you give us mo info on Ruffstuff axle and the crossmember above and the tubing welded in

 

[DanTCook]

Yes. The attached photo should provide the information you are looking for on the rear suspension set up. I've included a photo of the front as well.

The front utilizes a hybrid axel and a mix of components from RuffStuff and Front Range Off-Road Fab: Land Cruiser FJ40/FJ45/FJ55 Parts and Accessories | FRORF - https://frontrangeoffroadfab.com/land-cruiser-fj40fj45fj55/

Steering arm looks like it was built to be used with an 80 ton hydraulic cylinder

“If some is good more is better and too much is just about right.” Family motto that applies to guns, guitars, cars etc. and in this case apparently to steering arms.

The visors are by Rosen: Universal/Adjustable Mount Automotive Visors - https://www.rosenvisor.com/store/p170/Universal%2FAdjustable_Mount_Automotive_Visors.html

I ordered the one in the link and requested a longer 18x7 visor. They included the original spec 15" visor, which I mounted on a tension hinge to cover the front when the 18" visor is deployed to the side.

The rear axle is a 60 series 9.5" FF with RCV shafts and Eaton locker.
