new tow pig project

256offroad

NAXJA Forum User
dad and i have been working on the new tow pig. found it on craigslist. its a 92 2500 suburban 4x4. the PO used it for his construction company so it has seen better days... but for a tow rig that will be used to tow the xj and our ski boat it is perfect.(with alot of work)

its got the 4l80E tranny 14bolt ff rear with 4.10s and gov lock. its got the 350 tbi (whoopdee do!) with oil cooler and MAJOR hydroboost setup.

already got the ac blowing ice cold (even through the rear air). just stripped the interior and have been cleaning carpet and seats and all plastic trim peices. also already installed the brake controller and all the wiring for the trailor. got a set of Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs for it. looking for a set of late modal 2500 wheels to put on it.

here is the buildup link my dad has started

Show off!

Where is that pool located? Maybe we could relocate my axle swap/wrenchfest/POOL PARTY:party:.....I'm assuming you've got a well stocked garage, with all the projects you got going on:D
 
David, you should have never told us you had a pool.

yes i have spent MANY hours around that pool doing work for my parents.... all that landscaping(that still isnt finished) was/is my summer project...


as for the well stocked garage.... dad and i are CONSTANTLY updating our tool/car collection...
 
Sounds like we just need to set a time and date.party1:


That is a nice looking tow rig.
 
If you come out one day and see a fat white kid skinny dipping in your pool -- well, that may or may not be me.
