Just cut pig lips from a set of front fenders. The front fender flares will work for the rear. Just swap LF to RR and RF to LR It takes a little tweaking, but they are as close a match as you will ever be able to find. That said, it is a lot of work to do.

One day I’ll have to fix my fender flares. For now, I’ll keep stuffing this ridiculously bad body with great innards.
I replaced my horrible shop lights with LEDs. Now you can really see how much of a pile it is

Taking my first long trip in the Warthog since the 4.4/H55 swap. Other than it being 10,000 degrees in Mississippi with no AC this has, so far, been an amazing day. I’ve traversed some of Mississippi’s most remote backroads and national forests working my way north to meet @FJ60Cam for a bit of dyno tuning Thursday morning.
I can’t wait to see what the numbers look like.

Rig looks goooood. I have a H55 in my garage and I have a buddy that jsut did the swap. He says he should have done it years ago!
You lov'n it?

Dyno timing sounds awesome. Can’t wait to see the numbers.

I pulled a 300 mile trip off yesterday with about 200 of it being gravel roads. The truck performed amazing. The suspension is stiffer than my worn in 60 series with the same shocks but softer OME Springs. The body mounts are not great and of course there are some rattles, but for the most part it’s great.
I do need to finish my exhaust to turn out behind the wheel. I’ll add a nice free flow cat while I’m at is as the only complaint besides being hot as hell was the fumes.

Dyno numbers. We want dyno numbers!
You will have to go to the Warthog v4.4 thread!
...but a pig on a dyno is quite the sight to see!

So pleased. Cam is going to science it out over there. I’ll do a Cliff Notes version after in this thread for guys like Bob that are scared to venture out of the society

First we ran a stock 60 on the dyno. Because, well, we had to have a baseline.
The dyno guys were scratching their heads in this one.
68 hp to the wheels

If you think it is hot now, wait until you add a cat. You better add plenty of heat shield...
Or better yet, add heat shield and skip the cat. Just route the exit so you are not sucking fumes in...

I added one on my 60 and it literally killed all the fumes. It was routed right but these
EFIs make a lot of fumes.
I’ve got so many layers in the Pig now, the heat is not really coming from the body it’s just there is no good airflow.
Plus yesterday I had to keep the rear window up because of all the dust. Today on all pavement and all windows open it was not nearly as bad
