What did you do to your pig today? (5 Viewers)

[bogus one]

It's mounted in a well just off center towards drivers side. Isn't yours?

Not that I've noticed

Maybe I should look at that

I think I saw a while back that the later ones are mounted in a different spot than the left, maybe 78 was the switch?

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

early 77 has it centered as well.....my 73 has the well and bolt holes off center.

Finally started to clean up the PTO winch for Chester. Frozen bearing and U-joint along with 30 plus years of hardened muck and crud.

I'm going to ship it to the Big Island by the end of the year, where it will rest until I have more money/time to get it right again. At least I could make it legal over there.

I pulled the old 1F. I didn't get any action shots since it was a one-man show.

My FJ40 sits in the background saying "Yeah, I remember those days!"

Nice work, what's going in it's place? I still push the original F... whew and it's a push too.... But it hasn't left me stranded yet.

I gave the blue 'Cruiser some love -

Hadn't had a bath in months. It was due.


Now to take it for a bit of a trail ride over Thanksgiving......

 

[bogus one]

found out that my ignition doesn't want to turn anymore

 

[Brewtus]

I.....sold one.

72louie in Abilene, TX. is the new owner of "Doc", my '69 FJ55. It left 30 minutes ago.

Goodbye, old friend.

Oh dude, sorry.
I know you were just trying to do the right thing by your Pig.

Resurrected her!!!!!

Long story short we ended up running a line direct from the ignition key to the starter. 12-volts direct at ignition and no more acceleration problems. Friggin thing fired up and has been running like a champ. Not street legal yet, as I'm starting the bumper build this weekend, but it has taken a few neighborhood cruises every-other-day the last couple weeks. Rows through the gears without hesitation. Crazy considering all the frustration and drama heretofore.

Here are a couple of photos next to the 'new' Land Cruiser

Drove it to the hardware shop to get building supplies.
With the small block chevy it, people look around cause they can hear it but don't know what it is. Awesome feeling turning heads.
Will likely drive it to work tomorrow. Its a lot faster then my diesel Hilux.

Put them both away for the winter - road salt and pigs do not go well together.

Put them both away for the winter - road salt and pigs to no go wel together.

My pig is in hibernation for the winter too. The combination of mud tires and my rear locker make it dangerous on the snowy icy roads we have all winter. Only 5-6 more months before I can drive it again .

 

[riderjgs]

No hibernation for mine. But single digit temperatures were an inspiration to complete the install of rebuilt front and rear heaters. Positively toasty now, especially with the firewall openings sealed, new weatherstripping on the doors and tailgate and sound deadener/insulation on the floor, firewall, all side panels and tailgate. About as quiet and warm as a pig can be in the winter.

 

[Pighead]

Finally got those Mark A. shackles on the front...gonna go work on the others now.

 

[Pighead]

rears are in...box of gently used 55 lift shackles. Free, you haul.

Likely to be heading to the far northern reaches of CA in the next week (Shasta/Lassen counties) can mudship for those who need it.
