Thread: The Flying Pig

Yep, got them. Thanks dude. I'll be in town and working on the truck tonight, tomorrow night, and all this weekend. School and work has been hectic so my mom gave me an extension.

Got it on all fours and rolling, so I washed it. Shocks are in the bypass location till I borrow an engine hoist to get the rear end high enough...





Got the spare tire mount welded up and in. Added some miter cut tubes under the tires to keep them from getting wedged in.





Then got the X behind the fuel cell tacked in:

Really wish I would have kept those outlaws.....
Truck looks good

Um, I mean... you're only allowed to start buying stuff sunday morning, so don't show up saturday around noon. :P

haha ya i want to go but i have work till 5 and kristina has work till 8 maybe we will go and pull a all nighter. have any trips planed for the pig soon

Yeah, I'm rolling it in and out of the garage every weekend. At least till I get the fuel cell/pump/filter plumbed and wired. After that's done I'm going to do some sick ass 3 wheel donuts around the cul-de-sac

dont forget the dirt road with all the bumps on it leading to the house

Just urban prerun that shit, speed bump jumping competition.

Not a lot of progress:

Truck looks bad ass man

finally man getting it done again. I love the build and glad is getting some more progress done to it!
looks good!

Spaced tire holders for 35s.




Got all the diagonals fitted.





Swap meet finds: pro 4 custom sway bar and arms, brand new saw bumps, limit straps and other goodies.

I hope those mounts for the 35s were made larger than the in punted tire.

We did that on mine, and once the tire is mounted it grows a good amount. Kind of leading to why mu tires are on the outside now.

Yeah, I left some extra room.

Broke my foot. FML. I'll be getting a real cast on once the swelling goes down.

Dude that blows. At least you can still weld! Or maybe, is a cast flammable?

Who cares, welding blanket....

WTF did you do?

Mike

scooters?

wow, that backhalf looks great dude. Love how simple it is.

sucks to hear about your leg, what happened?

Was kickstarting a bike and the lever broke. My right foot crashed into the floor super hard and I was only wearing tennis shoes, so I broke the metatarsal (the bone my big toe connects to)

ouch..

you will thank me later. the progress of the truck is great.

Itcher scratcher ^

Win.

How is this thing going Jake?

Cast is off! Almost have the fuel cell all hooked up, but need wiring help. Chime in here.

Pulled the foam out of it and put the foam up for sale here, rebuilt all the fittings and sealed everything up with new gaskets/rubbers.

Completely welded the entire backhalf, built bump stop pads and bump stop mounts, and limit strap tabs, then welded all of that up.

Next is building a fuel cell hold down system and fender mounts, then painting the backhalf.

Revalved my SAW 16's with all 3 bleed screws, but the truck won't sit down, so I need to pull them back apart to remove one of the 3 screws... d'oh.

Here's my e2000 mounted where the stock fuel filter goes... Clips right into the stock fuel line. Generic fuel filter from Kragen makes sure no crap makes it into the pump:









And here's pictures of bump and droop. (limit straps not installed in these ones)

Glad your making progress! My back half is finally taking shape!

The bleed screws don't determine ride height, they are for slow shaft speed.
If your truck sits high, either you have the wrong spring rate or your IFP has bottomed out.

But with all 3 bleed screws in and stiff stacks, the fluid won't flow through the piston.
