Deans87,
Sounds like you're keeping it. I hope so, it would be a shame to get rid of that one.

What did you do to your pig today? (6 Viewers)

It was just the other day when I tried to open the front passenger door from the outside, and it would not open..."That's odd" I said to myself. "And inconvenient" I replied. It opened just fine with the inside handle, thumb operated outside button had no effect...
So today I took it all apart. As we all know, the thumb button pushes against a little plate which pulls a pushrod that goes to the latch. Fortunately, that pushrod is threaded on one end. So I just gave it a few lefty-loosey rotations, essentially making the pushrod a little longer. Put it all back together and it works good as new again.

Npulver,
Sounds great! I've been wanting a fridge, but not sure which one yet. Have you decided where you're mounting the compressor?

Re-wired the winch with my new Warn motor, pulled it out of the garage and washed it

Got the new fuel lines run and made a short jumper harness for the reverse light.
I also drained the gas tank and was pleasantly surprised by how clean the drain plug was. The fuel was also free of any gunk/rust.

Finished putting the longfields in. Put in a new master cylinder and calipers well I was at it. Took it out with the boy just to have it die on the way home. Replaced the fuel water separator and the fuel filter. Still failed. Pretty sure the tank is gunked up from sitting. I guess I will work on dropping it. Too bad it is full of diesel.
What diesel engine are you running in the pig?
Are those black handles on your doors? Powder coated? How is the wear on them. I am just about to put my handles back on an I was thinking about powdercoating black.

PO had painted them black, hasn't held up very well. Am in the process of collecting 4 with better chrome to replace them. I think they would be ok with PC if you scuffed them with fine grit for adhesion (else the powder would flake off)

Isuzu 4bdt1... rhinos built it
Thought I saw a freeborn red and white 55 on here with the powdercoated handles, but for the life of me, I can't find it again.
Did you end up replacing with chrome handles again?
Thanks
