I like it!!!
60 discs, 60 power steering, 60 tie rods,
not sure if I will go 3 speed on floor and 3 speed transfer case or 60 4 speed and split or 4 speed from a 40 and a 3 or 4 speed transfer case,, depends on where the shifter hole lines up....I have all the parts...my 3 speed came out of a 55 and has the front and rear pto output, I still have the output shaft for a 55 that goes to the front bumper, so I might have to locate a pto winch just for the coolness factor...
for now a rebuilt 81 2f from a 60 with a troll hole carb , possible to turn it in to a 2fe as I have the raised hood from a 79..all parts except one section of wiring and 2 fuel injectors
2 tone paint
move front seat up and back..
probably 31" tires
and a new stereo
repair rust

I used one of the Pigs to....bring home the new floorpans for the other pig!!
And bring home some Trials bike handlebars also, evidently.
These are really nice replacement floorpans from Bob in New Hampshire. If you are not familiar with his work, see "Floorpans +" or "Winner of floorpans" elsewhere in the Preservation Society.
So cool. I can't wait to see how they turn out.

If you do go this way you need to find the frame extensions as well. You can see what they look like here https://forum.ih8mud.com/fj55-iron-...potm-cruiser-guy-guatemala-2.html#post2523158
modify. can't be too hard to make your own c channel brackets.

Not available from Toyota, not a simple "C" channel but apparently someone was making these (I can't recall the name but a search will find it).
I just tried to open the doors again today. Snowing again with sub freezing temps overnight. It rained several days ago and then froze. I hate that 'cause I can't drive the pig on those days.... the doors may finally get open, but then the latch doesn't thaw out and the doors won't stay shut... Ha! 
The only thing worse than rain on snow in Tahoe, is me not being able to drive the piggie...
Going home today to fab up a snorkle ( a la Sherman55 style), fix the fan switch, and try to get the doors to latch in the warmest part of the day... hoping for at least 32 degrees today.

Got the old 73 radiator all mounted and plumbed.
Leaks like a government database full of state secrets.

haha I thought only my doors did that. Gotta love these winter days.
silicone spray
Got tired of looking at the dried-up, shriveled and cracked glovebox cover, so I had a friend at a machine shop cut out a cover out of some scrap aluminum plate we had lying around at work. I bolted it up to the stock inner plate, and bolted up a discarded rack-mount instrumentation computer handle (also just lying around at work) to it.
A sticker from Mama Espinoza's Cantina in El Rosario now graces the lid cover, as I'm given to understand that this pig spent quite a bit of time down in Baja. What I've been told, anyway.

Yeah.. I know. I'm getting to that part soon. Another dumper today (10 inches of snow) then it turned to rain!....
Hard to tear into the doors with that stuff coming down.Got that snorkel mounted up to the stock air box today. I'l post a pic eventually.

Nice to know about the silicone spray. Looking forward to that snorkel pic
Started hanging my not so stock headliner... looks pretty good. I also installed an aftermarket dome light. Lots of engine work today

-Timed it
-Drove it and it still backfires a little.

what did I do with my pig today? While boss was away from work with his wife I hooked up to his car and dragged it across the parking lot and around the corner of the building so he couldn't see it when he returned.
nice! when i was in high school, a lunch lady drove a lecar. the football team picked it up and moved it about four spaces over behind a big truck.

Today
8 weeks ago I ordered my "special" plates from DMV, They finially got here - I had to go without an appointment to pick em up 3 hours at DMV for 6 minuets at the window - but they are now on the pig! I hate DMV. Now just maybe they won't be asking - is that a Land Rover? Geeezzz
