Pig Picture Album (4 Viewers)

[gonzopancho]

I have a 40. 4 wheel discs, 5.7 vortec, 4L60E, in-dash (hurricane) AC, ARB lockers, 35s

the pig (1F + H42, 60-series discs (TLC calipers) in front, SOA) is way moar pfun. Way more, and it’s about to get more fun.

I have a set of 60-series 3rds w/ 4.88s, chromoly birfs and inner axles, 37s on 17” FJ Cruiser plasti-dipped wheels, sliders, a split case and a rebuilt 4-speed either in-hand or on a truck from Seattle as I type here.

the 60-series housings are coming from what’s left of the 88 fj62. only 160k-ish miles on them. Going to use the existing high-steer stuff from the pig.

(The 62 body is moving to a fjz80 frame / drivetrain.)

all of that is destined for the pig soon. Gonna do the rear main seal while I’m swapping the trans/xfer case around.

After that it’s down to body stuff and electrical on the pig. Maybe I do a FF conversion for the rear axle someday.

[RUSH55]

That’s good for a start, but really, there needs to be some pics of it out in the elements, using those 37’s.

Yup!

No. Torfab is in Washington state. The crate contains parts off Adam's (@theside00) pig.
My pig (and the split case, and the 62 housings, etc) are all in Austin, TX.

I'm excited too.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Copy that.
Thought you were being sly with not mentioning a r2.8.

Can’t wait to pics of your rig smashing the trails!

Man, I can remember going to the dealer's lot and sitting in the new 40 & 55 wagons. I had to wait until 1977 to afford one.

They really didn't advertise them that much. Then and Now. I bought my 79 4x4 pickup brand new for $7400. Didn't see any Landcruisers at dealer. They did have a Yellow Treks. It was a pickup with fiberglass back. Had rear seat pre 4runner

Sweating bullets on how to pay for it, too. In 79 I had a house payment, two kids and one on the way. I guess we all go through it. Now all I have to worry about is if I took my pills or not.

1977? I had just finished my Eagle Scout project and was still a bit too young to drive. My scoutmaster had a red FJ40, and I’m pretty sure that’s when the fever took hold.

Exactly. Same color too. Nice find Deo ☺

Well, I guess you’re not THAT much older than me. I was born in 77
