today i started a new mini project on the exterior of the scout. i ripped off the flares that were falling off anyways and im prepping the fenders where the flairs were for some black spray on bedliner...nothing too extreme but shood spruce it up a lil and protect it from further rust....the only cancer area i found was the front driver side wheel-well...it looks like thats where the water goes when it gets into the cowling...my grandfather wants to do a professional job of bondo-ing it and then painting over but i was hoping to cut out the cancer and replace it but i dont know how extensive it is and since it is my daily driver i would rather not cut half the fender off right now...i will get some more pics up soon o and one pic i have to throw in here is my latest favorite from BC109.....talk about flex  |

UPDATE!! UPDATE!! Ok, I have to admit, I've been holding out on you guys for a couple months while I made some big improvements to my little Scout. First things first: 32" tires to 35" tires (w/ new rims)  I went with the oldschool white wagon wheel look  After putting the 35's on, I realized I needed a body lift and some fender trimming. Before:  After ( 1.5" bodylift)    I found some interesting stuff in those fenders.   |

A little forklift flexing to make sure i cut enough. A little cutting goes a long way.    Also decided to get rid of my ragjoint.   Painted my steering column  To account for the increased rolling resistance and larger diameter, I had to change my gears. Instead of swapping D44 carriers and ring & pinions, I decided the smarter way was to swap in a fully rebuilt T19. Chris @ Rocktech Offroad in La Habra helped me out with the T19 and the new crossmember. T18 1st gear= 4:1 T19 1st gear= 6.72:1 The good thing about a T19 is its a wide ratio which results in the same highway gearing. (1:1) Tranny out:  |
