This is not the pig you are looking for.

I know a guy that has a pretty solid pig body.... Just sayin
If it were a "real" pig, I'd be very interested. "Real" pigs have high tail lights........

Exactly.
@pmccraney what year is yours? The bottom of the fenders and rockers are different than my 72.
1975, but mine are aftermarket/custom by the PO. He took out the roached stuff and welded in some solid/square bar (looks like 4*4 on the rockers and maybe 2*4 on the fenders. Almost like built-in sliders. They way he did the radius on the rears is pretty neat. Not quite sure how he did it. I'm not a metal guy.
I know the lower edge of my rear fenders are a little higher (and look a little more angled) than stock because of the modification.
Looks damned good.
Man, look at that reflection of the snow! That dude's got some shine to it!
@jfz80 if this center vent is also an AC controller my friend @Glennmerkel is looking for that piece to complete his Pig AC

Damn I wish that tailgate was mine. Holy s*** that’s nice.
Had a solid 1/2 day to work on the pig today. Painted the blue upper fenders (they were a weird blue gray)
Used Rustoleum Ivory White. Real close match to the Cygnus White hood.
Painted the grill and vents. Hammered Silver.
@under_psi helped me get the ARB roof rack on the truck. The 55 is 3” wider than the FJ60 so I had to move the legs out.
Got the bad ass Roo bar back on. All painted up.
Finished up the stainless battery tray install. Had to move the Optima from the FJ45 to this because my battery was too wide for the tray. It fit in the 45 fine.
Lastly I installed a take-off 79 series OEM snorkel.
VDJ79 OEM Toyota Intake Snorkel
Years ago I saw where someone installed a 70 series snorkel on a 55. I had to try it. It’s a bit janky. But then again this whole pig is janky.

Is this the pig that was at the painter? What happened to that deal?
Scott county redneck happened to it. I had to repossess it.
