Pigs DO love mud!!

[jamister1]

Just for the record they wallow really well!!
This was the first REAL shakedown run for my pig. The first attempt had multiple failures and I never got it into 4wd.
This time was a great success, in the second poser flex shot that is a 36" concrete barrier and the rear tire didn't even think about coming off the ground! I was really happy with the performance of the 40" MTR's as I usually run my 38" Boggers in the mud.

Real Pigs DO love mud!

But even in the last picture...that Pig looks pretty clean, you need to find some deeper mud...

I actually buried the 40's in mud but I went through some water shortly after that and it cleaned off most of the mud on the lower part of the truck.

The D60's look real good under there, now the leafs Is there a reason you cut them down so narrow? They look pretty close to stock width. How much axle tube you got showin on the short side front ? I see the mud flaps, state law or something?

That's a 14 bolt and a dana 44 that are stock width, with chevy 4" lift springs. I'm keeping the 44 open for now cuz I know it won't stand up to the tires with a locker. I believe mud flaps are a law in every state, how well it is enforced I believe is the only difference.

I can't believe those are full width. I've seen pics of full widths on 55's & they look really wide All I could make out was the 8 lugs & partial diffs. That ride height looks REALLY tall. You ever think about trimmin the wheelwells & adjusting the spring hangers or leafs to lower your COG?

The body is too nice to trim. This is my DD first and a light duty wheeler second. That's why I don't want to add lockers because it will ruin it's handling on road. It will also keep me out of the gnarly trails so I won't risk body damage to it. I have other, more common vehicles to trash on the trails. This pig is a survivor so why beat it up now?

That's a BADASS daily driver!

Hey, did you bring this on the McGrew this past summer? I really dig it- sick lookin' pig.

Howdy! Looks really sweet. I park right behind my son's 1500 Chevy, and the Pig axles look about a foot narrower. What are those axles off of? Check your state's laws carefully. Here, it says "trucks" need mud flaps, although rarely enforced. My Piggy is a "station wagon" on the title. No flaps. Lucky me. John

looks great! Some day I will add a classic to the quiver.

I ran the McGrew trail by the wife. She is up for it. I'll talk with you soon.
