Nice! I remember when robert had this thing. It has really become something special! You really did it justice and the paint job was always killer. Glad to see you kept it.

well i just saw this thread revive , i lurk here quite a bit but havent done anything to contribute in a while , pig is still my daily driver . has not has any issues in its life so far . it gets about 50 miles a day from work to home , and many more off road . it is coming up on some redo things , i need to make a new track bar (dont like the current one) and for the first time have considered painting it . that orange color og on soome pigs , but by far this has been the best rig ive owned ,over all the 40s 60s 80s , the 4.7 was the most user friendley mod , it has alowed it to be driven anywhere . I have a 76 parts pig that is rused off clear over the rockers , that i may one ton , like mikes , . and built a 86 runner to the hilt supercharged 3.4 e-lockers , cage , r151f, to thrash on the local trails that would destroy the pig, Saint George has some of the best trails , same as moab just les used , equal to duzzy ,in nor cal . I wheel alot almost every weekend , and still build alot of rigs for the locals , the 3.4 closed loop swap in the trucks and runners is popular here . as i lurk all the time thanks for all the pig info / fj55-100

Lets get some new wheeling pics!
Dropped my wife's ride off at Lexus service this morning and was chatting with advisor about LX450s, Cruisers, him saying he knew a guy that had dropped a 2UZ-FE in a Pig, using the word Pig.
I only know of two, but he confirmed that it was this rig, by name and qualifications.
It's a small world after all....

There's a write up on this truck in one of the older 4wd Toyota owner Mags.
Bet I prolly have a copy from Ige's stash.

Wanting to see some detail on putting that 4.7 in a Pig, do you have any details about the swap posted anywhere?

build lost on birfield . and a murdered home pc . so engine install was easy just place in bay and weld in . harness was more complicated . it took a body harness and a engine harness , but that is what i do retro fit harnesses for all the 3.4 swaps . supercharger came a year after it got on the road . no real magic involved just time . any questions just ask

I'll start up front - did you use Pig radiator? How well does that 4.7 fit the engine bay? Could I bug you for a pic (or several) of engine fit?
