Builds The Warthog v4.4

[FJ60Cam]

Clearly, we need @wngrog to mount up the GoPro near his shocks and jumps his railroad tracks so we can see what's going on. Preferably with the V1.0 shock mount.

V1.1....

I’m not tempting the Mud gods by not having that shock juiced up. Justin would but he won’t risk it with someone else’s junk

So the power steering parts are all 40/55 Toyota?

Need more info on that seatbelt retrofit.

Well, not exactly. It was supposed to be but there was a mix-up.

Way back before I realized my motor was pumping out 80 hp, I began looking at ways to put a stock 60 pump on my motor.

I love the look of the OEM pump and the packaging and the way it just barely works

@Racer65 made a short run of OEM replica pumps. I bought 2. One for my 40 (happening now) and one for Pig.

I then located a OEM 40/55 box and sent it off to AGR for a rebuild and test.

Fast forward. I go to install the box and it turns out I had a mini truck box rebuilt. Not a 40/55 box.

This is why Shaw Fab has the truck. Install the PS box. The mounting surface is horizontal where the 55 is at a sharp angle. Maybe 50*

@wngrog
I’m way to particular to do that. I am going to beef the bracket up to please the (mud)engineers. If it was mine I would go do some hard testing with the go pro pointed at the shock. No biggie

Are you going to beef it up because it’s the right thing to do or just appease us keyboard warriors.

Clearly I’m not the fabricator you are with my big hammer and stick welder but you avoiding legitimate questions and answering with derogatory responses makes me question if you have any real interest in the give and take of internet web forum conversation that most of us enjoy and benefit from.

Just poking fun at guys on mud is all, nothing derogatory. Critics are always welcome. I am going to beef the bracket up so everyone can have piece of mind when @wngrog launches it. I know the bracket is plenty strong but for the mud gods I am going to add more strength to it.

Took the warthog out for a test drive. Power steering is so nice on a pig, especially with these heavy meats!

 

[wngrog]

Don’t take it off any sweet jumps

 

[nvrlose54]

Still gonna send it

 

[rkymtnflyfisher]

Oh snap.

Paint is too nice

 

[FJ60Cam]

Added some patina, bigger ass, and bigger tires. There’s a General Lee horn and Waylon Jennings is narrating if you turn the volume up

 

[wngrog]

Right on!

I want a horn like Porky had

 

[nvrlose54]

Spot on!

I think it needs more testing. Did @wngrog record the odometer reading when he dropped it off?

 

[wngrog]

I think he’s driven v4.4 more miles than I have at this point

I had to drive it to the airbase and hurt all the pilots with JK’s feelings
