good luck with it, used to be a guy locally that had several of them. Would set them out in his front yard to sell.

Just messing with you bubba.   You know how I feel about this.

Glad my wife doesn't poke her head in here often. She learned to drive using her oldest brother's scout and every now and then mentions that she would love for me to get one and restore it. Not only do I not have time for that I scratched that itch on multiple projects in my younger years. 

I still enjoy doing maintenance on our vehicles but I've had more than my fill of walking in to the shop and and looking at a vehicle that is in multiple storage crates...

I have a October vacation and new ring for the wife as a priority but @Capbyrd lucked up on a set of axles from a Scout II for a great price. So I’ve purchased axles for the Scout now. Can’t wait until I can really start on her in earnest.

You can't leave us hanging forever. What's the status on the Scout. Refresh my memory, were you able to start it?

She’s still on hold for the moment. @56FordGuy has his dance card full at the moment. Towards the end of this month I’ll have a total of $4k that is earmarked for the project and he’ll have the time to start on it. 

 

@GlockSpock, these pics should make you feel better about the rust on that 4Runner!
