It’s so fitting for the Warthog. Truly.

In fact, it is Australian.

The fine fella that gave me the opportunity to revive the pig MADE me take it and really wanted to see it in use.

I have to agree. It’s beast. It’s Warthog.

He bought this truck from a guy that imported it from AU. It’s a old fire truck with very low miles.

When he found my 55 it had been abandoned at a body shop with a new OME suspension. He stole the wheels, bumper and suspension for his pig and I got the low mile stock suspension, split rims and Roo bumper.

Hawt Bacon. Florida.... hope to see it this weekend up this way at the relic run.

Gear box rebuild. Anybody have any assistance in this. I've never done one.

I’ve not hit thanks for posting. I’ll follow along.

Did you get a rebuild kit?

I contacted West Texas off-road. They gave me a price of 180 plus shipping.

Did you check @cruiseroutfit to see if they sell a kit? You got it that far. It may be as simple as new seals and bearings.

Thanks no I did not. But I called them after your message and they do not offer a kit or parts for that.

Got some slocruisers.com weatherstrip installed this weekend.

The 55 has a channel around the door so you don’t have to glue the whole thing. Perhaps the only positive design on the FJ55

Still takes a while but it’s nice and sealed inside now.
