Thanks for the feedback. None of you hurt my feeling (although I think some tried), Catweazle said it best I think, this truck would be sitting in a field in California rotting away and now we take it to car shows and explain what it is. Now all of a sudden, there are MANY Americans learning about the history of this British Military vehicle and I think that is the root of the preservation movement. Thanks for ALL the "private" emails i have received in support of this vehicle and I will be posting the pics of another we are working on for a Police SWAT vehcile. Good day Mates Cheers, Michael

We have received lots of emails regarding the final look of our totally customized Humber pig. Check out this baby and let us know what you think and yes, that is a "In- motion satellite system Options: Leather front seats Custom Dash Custom console with amo bos compartment Back up cameras Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound 10" subwoofer Power inverter with exterior acpower hook up 2 house batteries and 2 starter batteries Pioneer in dash DVD player Ipod station Custom Air Conditioning with heat and 3 rear vents and i front 1000 watt power amp In Motion direct TV Custom interior walls Custom leather bench seating Shag carpeting mirrored cieling with recessed rope lights rear cabin lighting disco ball with independant spot lights Handgrenade shifter stripper pole Enjoy Michael P.S. It is getting a 400hp powerstroke ford diesel, power steering and an automatic transmission this fall

Sorry if we hurt your feelings and no apologies needed, every one has the right to thier opinion, some will love it (the folks at the Ropkey Armored Museum thought it was cool) and some will hate it, but look at it this way, it beats selling it to a scrap yard and crushing it! THIS PIG LIVES ON!!! :yay: Just think, how nice it would be to have this on the battle field being shot at while watching a nice movie like Star Wars and sitting in a nice Air Conditioned Humber Pig...LOL

Howdy from the US, I will post some more pics of the customized pig, we would enjoy hearing your thoughts on how she looks.

Here is the new color of my pig, also the custom designed interior all hand fabricated. I will have some finished pics shorlty, we are finishing up the wiring of the 3 cameras, rear and both sides

To add to the drivetrain problem i'm having, I need to know a little info about how the transmission and front transfer case works together to go from 4wd full time in first, and then automatically switches to 2wd in all other gears?? I think this may be the reason of why we aren't getting any forward motion from the front wheels. Also, what is the longevity of the clutches....and is there any adjustment?? Keep in mind, I don't have a rear axle installed, so when the trans is in 1st, and you let out on the clutch pedal all the way, the driveshaft (which i can see through the floorboard) going to the rear wheels spins fine, like it should on a non-posi diff, BUT it starts from a creep, and then picks up speed...unlike in a normal manual trans setup where if the clutch was popped, the driveshaft would instantly start spinning at engine speed. This tells me there is either a clutch issue, or a major adjustment issue with that part of the driveline. Since it would start rotating at such a snails pace, i held the driveshaft with my hand through the flooboard, and was able to actually stop it from turning!!! Going to get under it tomarrow, and see if i can see any problems with the linkage, but as of now....not positive what is happening. Any experience with the 4wd switchover would also be appreciated.

Here are some pics of my new pig Mike P.S. Still looking for an axle or a complete vehicle to buy

Thanks for your help and I posted in the welcome box Cheers Mike
