Shameless cross-post. But I'm just so proud.
My Pig, thru the 'Con for the first time.
And little bits of the trip on youtube.
Thanks to my Shotgun, Mr.Manny.

Nice coverage of your piggie!

Pondering a front locker?

Reminds me of all the pics of Morgan's piggie from back in the day....

 

[Pighead]

I've been wanting a front locker for a while now, and since the whole world now hears that I don't have one, I really need one. and a quieter power steering pump.
It should remind you of Morgan's Pig...It's got Morgan's doubler, wheels and tires.

 

[Wayneraintree]

I loved watching the videos... you thinking selectable locker?

Wonder if Morgan's one ton pig is still around? assembled? I miss birfield dot com : (

 

[Pighead]

I love watching those videos, I never get to see the Pig wheel 'cause I'm always driving it...
Sure I'm thinking selectable. But I'm also thinking of the guy who got winched up Cadillac when his ARB died. And thinking about how Mr. Manny's front Aussie works so well. and how I love the Detroit I got in the rear. and thinking I'm gonna need longs if I lock the front. Lot to think about.

Looks good Greg! I'm bummed I missed the wagon run.

for the record, my 27 spline longs held up under my old piggie with a lockright, 36's, then 37's, then 38 x 14.50

I was talking to a cruiser guru (Frydaddy) the other day and he is of the opinion that 30 splines are overkill for anything short of 40's.

I love my aussie lockers... I've had a couple ratchet lockers last 8 years with no problems

how exciting, i assumed you had done the con before, maybe several times. the con is one trail i want to do someday, before its too late.

 

[balls 2 claws]

congrads ( Trecks ) I"M proud of you !! r u going 2 pmc meet ?

 

[pr0ject42]

I've got a lockright in the front of mine and it is fine, pavement, trail whatever. I am only running 33s with stock birfs, but it does what I need it to!

 

[Pighead]

TWRECKS had been as far as Spider lake twice before. The first Pigrun (2000) and the 5th Pigrun (2005). But never all the way thru the Rubicon before.

 

[RHINO]

ahh there ya go, well congrats on the whole trail.

Hi Greg!

Here is a shot I took of you at the first Pig Run on the Con back in 2000...

(sorry, a quote of a quote)

I went with the 30 splines just so I would never have to think about them agian? I mean if your in there AND spending the money...? My .02

Your rig looks great and even better cause its on the Con! Maybe next year I can make a trip

a quote of a quote FWIW, I recently rebuilt my front axle on my minitruck and went with 30 splines for the exact same reason you stated I was in there, so....
