What did you do to your pig today?

[Napster]

Tracked down the issue with my dash switch for the tailgate window... Looks like my tailgate relay is a goner. So I got to thinking... Why not just bypass it so I don't need the key on to roll up or down? Works like a dream!

I moved the pig to the new house and now it has a nice weather controlled garage to sleep in. Going to start on the power steering and collecting the stuff to fuel inject it.

Welding, welding and more welding. Tranny tunnel is shaping up. Had to put in the shifters and rear heater to check. It's close. I'm thinking I might raise the heater up a bit with spacers. Floor patches almost done so I can build bucket brackets.

I'm sure it is Bob, I should know better than buying Cruiser parts from there however. Soak, heat, wrench, repeat ...

You can see the rust free backing plates in the box I picked up from CruiserYard off a '82 Texas FJ60 A little soap and water and they are good to go -

Man, they have some long legs. All we have are white tails, but Mo. did stock some Elk a couple of years ago.

Gave my pig a facelift! Removed the winch (which is for sale), painted the grill. Now to build a bumper. Here are the before and after pics.

Is that a PTO driven winch? If so how much?

 

[PabloCruise]

Sho 'nuff looks like a PTO...

Pigasus

Finally found a name for my pig....

Pigasus....Stolen from Steinbeck. He used to sign his letters with his Pigasus logo. " A lumbering soul but trying to fly"

See my signature. In case you were wondering what Ad astra per alia porci meant... "To the stars on the wings of a pig"

My favorite author and I just now remembered his signature logo.. a flying pig.

perfect.....Gonna see if I can get the plate.

Bigsal,

I like it! very cool. Almost like " To The Moon, Alice! " By Jackie Gleason.

 

[Delancy]

Adds the kind of depth and character I appreciate.

Very cool.

"It has always seemed strange to me, this thing we admire, the Pig...."

Bahaha.

 

[nuclearlemon]

drove it to hell and back to pick up a couple more teq "planters" for pighead

I was asking $1000 with all the goodies from PTO gears to the winch and everything between.
