What did you do to your pig today? (9 Viewers)

Some good ideas here. I had a Holley pump go out running up a river on 4th of July, paid hell getting the auto parts owner out of his house and open his store for me. Running two sounds like a great idea.

In an off road vehicle that’s used off grid like some of us do here I would run two pumps on the frame or in the tank with a couple Y’s and either manually plug between the two or have a switch on the dash like I had on the angry pig, a single ON/OFF/ON switch is what I used. When one crapps the bed just switch to the other and keep going and deal with the dead one when you get home. Same cost as carrying a spare and way less laying on your back on the road or trail.

Also anything that has a filter or pump mounted down off the frame I install an inline fuel proof ball valve back at the tank..

Well those are two pretty darn good ideas since I took a small gas bath this morning while under the pig.

When I did my sniper install I blindly ordered it with the in-tank fuel pump and a new OEM tank. Being a first for me, I was a bit nervous about cutting into the tank and ordered the walbro in line pump if I chickened out. After enough thinking I did use the in-tank and love the way it works. NEVER considered using a second install with a plugged line in case. I think that’s a great idea.

50 yrs ago I carried a 4’ long custom fitted tool box with so many tools and spare parts just in case. Never needed any of them….it was a brand new ‘74 but with a bunch of added engine parts

Holley carb, centrifugal advance distributor, wheels and tires, half cab, air pumps, wrenches, sockets, torque wrench, nuts bolts screws, chain, screwdrivers, hi-lift jack…. The only thing I ever needed once was DUCT TAPE. Didn’t have any

PP25 prep. Vacuumed the dust out. Cleaned the windows and dash and seats. Packed up 80% into the pig. Then decided to try to get the tailgate window fully operational. Spent the next 4+ hours (when I was supposed to be working) putting in my spare and recently refurbished tailgate mechanism. After three full installs and two removals to fix the arms it now seems to be working! This will make the PP easier at camp and on the trail when you can go through the tailgate rather than the 2nd row door. I also added some heat shield wrap that attaches by Velcro over the fuel pump. Thought since it is so close to the muffler this might help some?? Unless it holds too much heat??? But the muffler heat it reflects must be significantly higher??? Guess we’ll see??
