Looks like mo flo. Is that pusher your primary or aux fan? I know the drawback to a pusher is the obstruction they cause.

Could I send you a spare grille for you to trace the ‘79 cut-outs onto?

 

[fj55-100]

Sure , the oem ones are punched and rolled over , but a cut -out could work niceley

That pusher fan in the front is for the A/C to keep the pressures in check when driving slow out in the back country.

Shiny, I didn’t realize hiding under that rough snow camo exterior was a glossy Nebula show pig.. Megadoomer and I are going to miss you over at the working pig side (loop “B”).

There's a glossy Nebula show pig in the heart of every pig!

I am guessing that is what @J Mack did. @J Mack - did you cut yours w/ plasma or other to modify?

I bought a late grill from Rix 45, I didn’t have the time to cut after seeing how much work it would take. Like I told you above it’s more than just the letters, every opening is larger and like fj55-100 all the edges have a slight roll. It could be done but a guy would really have to spend some time to get it right, not worth the effort if you could source a late grill that’s already done.

LIAR! I just looked and you are smack dab in the middle of Loop A. Tryna cozy up with all the shiny pigs? Working class pigs unite! Loop B fo eva.

I'm just going next to @J Mack because that will probably be the epicenter for the potluck, or he can help me repair my pile of pig.

Well one of us dropped the ball here.
I'm currently camped next to fj55-100 and my assumption was that would be the no fox given loop, we now know fj55-100 will be rockin a chrome grill leaving me as the only ugly pig owner to fend for myself.

Clearly I need to work on my reading comprehension before I book camp spots.

 

[fj55-100]

No grille will stay camped over desk for now .. to much bling to go outdoors

 

[Megadoomer]

I accidentally sprayed a semi-gloss black on my grill the other day. Maybe your neighbors will let me drive down your isle to say hi, and pet the dawgs.

The A/C is starting to kick my butt, I’m beginning to feel like Scrappy with his ARB issue. No matter how much time and money I throw at this I can’t seem to get it to work as advertised. I recently had oil puking out from under my dash on the high side line, unfortunately that line goes out through the bulkhead and not only do I need to pull a bunch of crap out from under the dash to get to the fitting I also need to remove a ton of stuff in the engine compartment to get to the other side.

If I can’t get my act together I’m going to put this pig on a trailer and drag it down to the St George area and drive it to the Pig Party from there so if it poops the bed I have a trailer nearby to get me home.

Guess I ought to be feeling good about only have a power steering gearbox to replace and a few other relatively minor odds and ends. Doesn't mean I won't be caught trying to get them finished the night before we leave. I'm thinking one benefit of our annual gathering is that it creates an artificial deadline for some of us (especially yours truly) to mark a few things off the never ending list of projects related to our Pigs.
Committed Pig procrastination yesterday by firing up the 914-6 and driving to Moab for the annual car show, one of the best around here. Also made a mostly solo 7-day 2,200 mile road trip through the southwest week starting before last. No witnesses, but it might have been determined, out on a deserted stretch of laser-straight two lane west of Socorro NM, that top speed on my wife's BMW X5 is 134 mph. If true, that'd be the fastest I've been, including on various racetracks, since I was 17 and four of us crammed into a brand new fuel injected '63 Sting Ray coupe driven by a future Colorado state trooper chickened out at 140 mph.

Back on this POS to try to get it ready for the pig party. Replaced the leaky A/C line and charged the system. I’ll let it sit overnight and recheck for leaks and finish up tomorrow.

Back on this POS...

I feel the same way from time to time when I have to address the same thing a couple of times. But, you do have a very nice POS.

Pig party was a great time, things didn't quite go as planed.

Look for some changes to the target carrier soon.
