Rookie Intro of my new pig

[Lucy_FJ55]

That is great news! I have been anticipating the piggy homecoming for both of you guys and had noticed it was taking a little longer than both of you may have expected but that's what makes it 'Oh so goood' when you get to drive 'em for that first time. Have fun!

ONIK! OINK!

Just saw this thread for the first time. Simply amazing!!! After seeing all these picts/posts I'm going to have to consider IPOR in the future when I'm ready revive my piggy.

Almost complete

Here's my baby, bumpers, new turn signals and a few shots of the engine bay. Having issues with the fuel pump, so it's getting replaced. What's left? front seat belts and aTuffy Box and 33x12.5 MTZ . The 31x10.5 Michelin ride very nice on the road and is perfect for testing out all the new engine and drivetrain. Enjoy the pic's

can I see a full pic of your exhaust routing?

 

[Southeast Overland]

um...wow. that is just awesome...

 

[Lucy_FJ55]

Yep, just wow.

That is so sweet Lou! Feels freakin' great doesn't it-driving around town in your pig? I was driving down the main drag in town today and another pig pulled up along side of me and it was just cool. I even followed them to the grocery store and hopped out and said 'Hi'. They were loaded up and heading out of town for camping/backcountry fun. We checked out each other's rigs and it was neat.

Every morning when I start my rig it puts a smile on my face.

Every morning when I start my rig it puts a smile on my face.

That's what Cruisers do for me! My FE Piggy makes me smile too, but she is not running right now...

 

[Luke111]

Yeah it's going to be sweet when I get her home next week> and I'll be able to finish some of the detail work I can handle. I want to remove the doors and front fenders to replace the front hinges and check the area behind the fenders for rust, and Dynamte the floor and fire wall and ceramic coat the fire wall and finish the weather strip. I'll have more pic's next week and post the exhaust route for you.

Lou,

Your truck looks great! Glad that you are getting it out of the shop and are going to be able to finish up the small details. Can't wait to see some photos with all the door panels in place.

Ryan.

 

[Luke111]

Hey Ryan, what's this about you selling your truck? You can't! you have to much love, time and money invested. You'll change your mind once you start driving it. If you need any parts to finish it let me know.

At IPOR this morning, still waiting for a new fuel pump, went for a little drive, this things is fricking fast. Picked up a Wilderness rack from a customer of IPOR came off his 55, it's not my first choice for a rack
but the price was right, came with the floor section, clamps and was adjusted for the 55. Here's a few poser shot's.

Awsome pig porn...by the way while you at IPOR you might ask Lance if he is interested in making a batch of front floorboards?

Lou

 

[Luke111]

Lance, does not stamp sheet metal, he sells the Heritage steel product. I have discussed a stamping machine with him, I just think he's really busy with all the work that flows through his shop daily. I don't want to speak for Lance or IPOR .

Here are a couple of videos of Lou's sweet 55 speeding up and down the street. The truck has some serious power.
