Congrats Steve!! I knew it would set the high water mark for FJs...

...and yes, ours is done! She's been driving and enjoying it all summer, and says it is absolutely not for sale!

Thanks everyone !! Yes, so that sale has allowed me to move to the next project.
It was going to be the Defender, but after more investigation I have changed my mind.

AND so ... I've been looking for one of these for years and stumbled across this yesterday, and thankfully made a deal with the guy before it launched on BAT this week !! I am SO stoked, this is going to be a friggin amazing, super rare build

PROJECT: Killer Piggy !!
Build ... 700Hp LSA, 5 speed trans, Update interior, custom dash, AC, full disc with Hydroboost ... and a few other items, will be the 1st of it's kind to this level

Congrats Steve - I see where this is going since you set the record on bat for a 40 I’m sure with the lsa the killer pig will do the same - looking forward to the build thread here on latg - i recall seeing a pig at dse in metal not too long ago / glad these cruisers are finally getting some love and thx to bat and builds like yours icon etc they are going up and up - there are some cruiser heads here on Latg 👍

Yessir ... BIG thank you !!
So these Piggies are so rare, and parts are so rare I am (and I always say this) going to build this one as if its for me ... In fact I was going to keep the blue R2.8 FJ40 but now I found the 55, my 66' R2.8 will go up for sale in the spring.

As soon as I have the 55 in hand I will start the build

Truly looking forward to this one ... although not as a 'complete' build, it will have its challenges

Cheers
Steve

This is going to be awesome! Love those iron pigs!
They are definitely rare and even more so to find one that is solid...

Agreed Jeff ... Thus I will be giving this build 1000% ... This will possibly be my best build yet. Extremely lucky to find this truck
