[Rock Hill Fj55]

Lookin good, I am in the prosess of doing a soa to my 70 pig. The pics will help with the front. Keep up the good work.

 

[animaldevictor]

a few pics more ,,, I hope they get the paint all done by next sunday to install the rest of the things and the snorkel

Nice pig, and nice work

 

[Rock Hill Fj55]

I like the rear doors, dont see that often. Did you cut and turn you front axle knuckels for the soa?

 

[animaldevictor]

Yes, I did actually that is a FJ60 axle that I cut to the lenght of the fj55 (or FJ40 which is the same) I turn the alxe like 3 degrees positive, but what best, at least to me, is do the cuts for turn, assambly the housing in the car and set the pinion angle tac weld the spring pads, and afther that set tha caster angle to 0 degreess and tac weld the rest take the housing off the car and complete the welding on a nice table like this one

 

[Rock Hill Fj55]

Ya that makes since. Looks good.

hey Victor/papá del animal
¡Se vé lindo! ¿Cuál es tu experiencia con las llantas Adventura? Son chinas, ¿no? Creo que hay un distribuidor de marca allí en Santa Cruz. ¿De que medida son?

 

[animaldevictor]

Hasta ahora no las he provado en el barro pero,los otros amigos de aqui en Costa Rica estan contentos, aqui es muy dificil comprar super swamper, estas son mucho mas baratas y andan muy bien la medida es de 33X12,5 R15

a couple of days ago I finish the intake filter, after too much welding, I have made it of stainless steel (I dont know why!!!),but I think looks good, I will tell next week

 

[animaldevictor]

I Need a little help for some of you, did somebody know, where to buy the windshield whetherstrip?
any clue, will be apreciate...
the little "chanchito" is almost ready to hit the mud........

 

[Lucy_FJ55]

Specter-Off-Road should have an aftermarket windshield weatherstrip... I don't believe the OEM version is available from Toyota any more.

 

[animaldevictor]

WELL!!! my pig just came today in the evening with the paint job all done, and the only thing is that one of the window machines is not there ,and fix the other ones, bleed the brakes and get the Pig ready to RTV in here in Costa Rica, if some knows where to find a right rear window machine for an 75 pig, i will apreciate any help, I still have a lot to finish but I am very happy with the work that the paint shop made on the piggy

 

[cml25]

Victor, my spanish is not good, but here I'll try:

Su cerdo parece maravilloso!

I think that says "your pig looks wonderful"!

But your paint guy did the same thing to your front valence as mine...it's suposed to be white on top along the lines of the fenders.

But it is supposed to look like this:

 

[animaldevictor]

Your spanish is great, well i didnt see that until you pointed , I think on my case the guy at the paint shop was so hurry about finishing the pigggie up , that they just paint evering with out taking care about that detail, hehehe funny, at the end of the history you will not notice after the installation of the winch

Victor,
Me encanta el escema que elegiste- se ve bonito. Que pena que vayas con Tapage - lo vas a destruir pronto. Asi es la vida del chanchito.

Gracias por la info en cuanto a las llantas chinas. Estoy pensando poner los aros 15 de mi BJ60 al chancho entonces puede ser que compre las chinas, y los aros 16 con sobrearo y patacabras al '60 porque las piedras cortan las cuerdas de las radiales facilmente. Pero por ahora donde voy con my chancho, no hay mucha piedra que podría cortarlas.

 

[animaldevictor]

bueno todavia falta trabajo par que mi chancho este listo para ir con tapage al barro , ahora le estoy arreglando las maquinas de las ventanas que estan todas malas y el proximo mes le installo el sistema de gas LPG para ahorrar un poco de plata

 

[animaldevictor]

today I have reseive the wood panels for the dash take a look

they did a great job, I will install the hole thing this week end
