I'll keep the thread up as long as I have the Pig Rig, updates will probably be in batch form during the trip though.

well, transmission isn't done...

in other news, I found out that if I bolt my tow hooks up differently, they become tusks!

lol! I'm definitely doing this now!

I started work on the front bumper, but I'm not sure what route to take, I need to make sure there's room for a winch, I think I'm going to run one of these:

or these

anyone have an opinion on synthetic rope instead of steel? my biggest concern would be abrasion of the synthetic.

the bumper progress is otherwise nothing to write home about, so far, I've cut two brackets and held the tube up to it.

it will be significantly more contoured to the truck than a straight line, but I'm not sure quite how much.
