Thats one of the things i love about this 55 forum. Out of all my forums this is my favorite because of the history and stories you get out of some of you guys. I also have never been on a car forum where people are SO passionate about there vehicles. Glad we have a great group of guys in here.

On a more related note (and without pictures.) I decided to pull some dents out of the rear quarter and tail light area. Didnt realize there was very little access to that area, which made much more difficult that expected. Got the bad side (passenger) pulled out about 50% of the way but couldnt get a crease to come out. Driver side i couldnt get any leverage in there to get it out. So the rest of the dents will have to wait until i get a porcupine welder (not sure what there actually called)

Also pulled the rear cargo area trim panels off to help get at some dents. Go to find out one of the previous owners used chaulking to hold them in place. They also used peg board for the cargo card instead of normal card material. lol. Thing that bugged me the most was the house insulation that was shoved behind them to stop the noise. Probably part of the reason the rear quarters are rusting at a fast rate (perhaps, other than its an iron pig...)

All in all it was a fun productive weekend with my pig.
 
Attempted the first feeding....(first real drive)

Looked at it... trying to figure out how I'm going to kill the massive amount of wasps that have made homes all over it.

I finally have collected all the motor parts for it, but haven't been able to get any work done on it due to it being so insanely hot and the fact that I WILL be stung by wasps trying to tow it back up to the shop area to work on it.
 
they sleep soundly at night...that is when you will manually desrtoy/remove them...stoopid wasps, don't they know pigs don't fly?

brake clean....drops them in mid air
 
Shop vac the bees and let it run a few mins and it will suffocate them.

I need a sticker like that. I have 100% Gas too....


Changed the fluid in the Ranger to a more quiet weight. Broke my speedo cable in less than 5 seconds... wow that was an expensive 5 seconds.

I'm thinking maybe the 'new' speedo I put in is frozen up? I'll pull it today to see. No kinks in the line (only in my music collection).

It broke right at the TC though, and the last one did the same thing. The issue is, why would it break there unless the speedo end was seized.

I'll give it another go when I get the new one, install the speedo end first and make sure is spins, then connect to the TC.


Anyone else with time enough to read this ever have this issue?
 
New bike rack

Well,
been tossing and turning, up all night, uncontrolled sweats, biting my nails... but finally decided that a big ole swing out bumper is not for me. I use this rig to carry bikes, boats, boards, dogs etc... and really needed a better bike rack.... so I got a super fancy, XL5000 "whatever the fark" rack for the pig. WORKS GREAT! folds down, folds up, holds my big arse 29er. I guess I'll stick with an undersized spare for now as I'm not locked and can look to putting a full sized spare inside or up top.

Check it.
