Wheelin the pig today

[Gumby]

As always I learned some stuff wheeling the 55 at the Cliffs today.

The 4.5 turn power steering is the shiz. I can't believe I screwed around with 3 turn boxes for so long.

Rebuilt sag boxes are worth the money.

Balanced driveshaft is also worth the money. It was fine to cut it down and weld it back together, but I can't beleive I made 4 or 5 wheelin' trips on it.

one finger steering at 65 on a SOA pig with 37s is pretty flippin cool. I could drive this rig anywhere now. Way better than the wandering vibrating thing I was driving before.

I freakin' HATE mud. Slimey slippery messy crap that requires less skill and more throttle and way too much cleaning.

Electric fans are pretty nice until you dip them in a puddle, then the lack of cooling gets to be a problem. It did come back on during the highway trip home.


Two transfer cases is the only way to go. More options is better.

stock 4skinners are pretty damn capable vehicles, but ain't cool like pigs.

Nobody knows what the Hell that weird ass vehicle is, but they think it looks pretty cool.



I really, really hate mud

pics to come.

Still no phone pics.

Stolen from the thread on Yotatech by the 4runner guys that went with.

Great looking Pig!!! Looks like that mud was a serious bummer.........how long did it take to spray it off?

 

[Gumby]

An hour with the sprayer, 6 hours with the sprinkler, another hour at least with the sponge and soap. I suppose I should spend a while cleaning the driveway as well.

The engine and the interior are still an awful mess.

I H8mud.

Sucks to clean, but the kid in all of us loves to spin our tires in mud.

Nice big river to dunk the undercarriage and have a two minute sit is very handy, cept the water that enters into parts.

Looks like funn
