Nice, looks like your making time on it. You going to be ready by June was it?

The T-all axle is doing great, and I've got a replacement thick cover on the way. ;) When the cover arrives, the spider gears are going to met mister welder :D

Hey Scouter,

Looks an awful lot like mine does right now, 'cept yours has doors and a windshield frame.

Does dem little tires in the rear make it corner better?:rolleyes:

Should make it track straighter.. neat trick for those too cheap to spring for a cut n' turn or caster shims.. just lower the rear end and raise the front to the sky and you'll have caster! :D

And yes, Mark.. must be Skyjackers. :D

I think mine'll work pretty well.. SOA...

I've stared at that picture for 5 minutes and the only thing I can find wrong is that it still has doors.

That's because you can't get the doors back on your rig :D

I know, I wasted 3 hours one day trying to get those heavy bastards to close again, finally gave up, but now I am open to many opportunities, probably be mostly tube and aluminum or polyglas plate by next year. I'll keep the scout hood and windshield frame, so it will still be a scout, however I do have a almost mint condition cj3b grill leaned up against the fence, would that be wrong?:flipoff2:

Not *too* wrong.. and at least it'd be "truer".. since most Jeeps are just a Scout with a fiberglass CJ tub on top. :D

Scout axles, trans, transfer.. boxed frame.. granted, most use a 350..

I always figured you were just being honest if you bought a Scout II and dropped a CJ tub on it. Save yourself a lot of trouble, too..

I would like to, but too much cash, and my tub is about to fall apart, so most of it will be replaced with tube.
