Sad thing is I've acces to better guns but didn't think about it till after I was done. But live and learn. I'm just excited to be finally getting more done and hopfully get to drive it this year before snow starts flying.

Rolled it out side and installed the hood and marker lights. I'm loving the blurple and white.

 

[jeeper]

That looks sweet!

 

[Bart]

It will definitely be an eye catcher on the trail.

 

[Brad J]

Makes me miss mine

 

[gertsch]

Got more put together. Man I'm loving it!

 

[gertsch]

Modified the pickup for my fuel tank into an intank pump.

Bumper mostly finished and installed. I'm not really digging the boner bar. so it'll probably have to go.

I agree, it just doesn't fit the style of the Scout.

 

[DAA]

I would agree with that too. Completely digging the blurple Scout though!

Cut that stinger off. Much cleaner look now.

 

[gertsch]

got thegot the taillights in. I was worried they wouldnt look good. But I like it

 

[gertsch]

Plate light and mount installed. Just gotta work on that rear bumper now.

 

[I Lean]

Mucho better without the stinger.

 

[gertsch]

Built a rear bumper.

 

[gertsch]

Reworked a few things on the front axle and got my bumpstop installed on the front. Much happier.

 

[gertsch]

Added another piece of dom and gussets to the d and c extreme cage that came with the scout. I'm happy enough with it till the day I cam afford the tube bender and build my own.

I've been kinda all over the place on this thing. Kinda working on whatever I feel like I wanna get done that day. I need to make a new check list of stuff to get done and get myself organized again. But progress is still being made.
