Minimal Rust (Arizona pig)
Stock Everything, right now
Planned mods:
4" Lift
35's

Having lurked here a few months, I hope to avoid the dreaded newbie mistakes.

Well.. I was out hunting thru moving boxes and not only did I come across three of my TLC FSM's but I finally found that dammed cable needed to down load photo's of my pig... It is all stock... has usual rust but not to bad... runs great now that ive done a tune-up... Plans are to lift her, 33's, and some cleaning up... also want to convert to diesel sooner or later.

This is what she looked like after we got her home and throw some primer and paint in areas that had surface rust. The hood is from another 1977 FJ55. I had to buy four new tires, Goodyear 235/75/15's. They are a basic street tire. From another project I had some rear OME comfort shocks and a set of Bilstein's. I installed them the same day. Rides a lot better.

This is what she looks like now. I bought some cans of Krylon at walmart. Ivory and Red. I think it really cleaned the apperance up. The front bumper was then straightened. It took alot of work to seal up the bad exhauat leak . PO did a crappy welding of the exhaust manifold flange. It still needs a lot of work but is looking better and runs better .

Is that the exhaust pipe hanging down, Fang? BTW cool Pig! Looks like some capeable beasts on this thread. RHINO needs to get a pic in here. Maybe I'll do one for him.

I just bought this Pig last Saturday. Everytime I close a door, I can hear rust fall to the ground! It's still the coolest 4x4 I've ever owned...
