took a few pictures today, first one is of my turd after bobbing the rear, not completed yet.

rear quarter, still have to do the bumper, cap the other quarter panel, and install taillights

Here is where I decided to stick the fuel cell, it has a 2" sump that is dropped thru the bed

This is the sump from underneath, the braided hose is the fuel line, and the red hose is a drain line with a pitcock on it.

looking good! :D

Memorial Day weekend, Mike and Jesse will be testing their competition rigs, if they get them built. You started your buggy yet?

not yet. i will sometime in the next year. i just hate to tear into it now because i will be using all of my current drive train. i have the vortec 350, th400 atlas, d60, and 14bolt so there is no where to go with it and i am happy with how it works. the problem with that is i have to tear mine down to build it. i had my jeep down for like 9 months of last year so i want to keep playing for a while. plus i have had my jeep for 12 year and it was my first vehicle so there is some sentimental valuse there. oh well last week i bougt a 1970 fj40 that i will use the front clip for my buggy. i still wanted front sheet metal from the dash forward so it will resembal a rig. the fj40 came alon at the right price so that is what it is gonna be. the rest will be tube though. i have family coming in on memorial day so that is a no go. the first week of june i'll be treking out to tellico to wheel with chris (aka shitneck) and a few others. i think langston (red lengthened sami on d44's) might go too. anyway we'll have to plan a big run this summer or something.brian

And here I thought Cliffys POS was ugly!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

damn and i thought it was ugly before, i was mistaken. and hell yes i will have the buggy done by memeorial day even if i have to pick up a crank habit.

:mad: :mad: :mad: Ahhh, Im so dissipointed, Wont make it to the Con on memorial day. The Snow scout just isnt going to be ready in time:mad3:
The cage,lift, lockers just wont be here in time for an install...kills...That ok though I found a ride with my Brothers Snow Toy. 209.1 baby..Are we still moving?

Me and skeetshooter went by and seen Mike today, here is a top secret picture of what it looks like so far:flipoff2:

the tires sure do look kinda small:D

I am not overly familiar w/ Scouts, but was that poor beast that UGLY when it was born?! That thing could make an AMC Matador puke!

I do LOVE it though!

Not sure what it looked like when it was born, but it was even uglier when I got it.

heck i like it!!! then again i have a fondness for ugly. i think it'll look sweet once you put a set of 1tons under it with some real meats!

coming soon, I have all my axle parts gathered up, detroit for the front 60, hopefully be rollin on 42's before the summer is over.

:eek: now those are some meats!!!! i have considered going to 42's but i will wait until i build the fj40/buggy and see what i think then. i just wish they made a 39.5 or 42" sx. i am a big sx fan and i can't have them if i go bigger than what i run now. you, mike and skeetshooter should load up and come to tellico with me and shitneck the first of next month.

Sounds like a good time, but no way I could make the trip, going back to school this summer to start on my Masters degree and a principals certificate, the three of us all have the comp. at Cass AR in June, made a deal today to graze some cattle on my place that I will have to watch pretty close, and I will probably have the axles out of the scout at that time anyway.

Lets plan a weekend for Clayton or Poteou sometime after June.

Are you trying to tell me a stock JEEP can do the 'Con, but a stock Scout can't?

COME AWN.

You don't need a lift or lockers to wheel! You've been reading too many magazines and hanging out with too many Jeepers at school! :flipoff2:

And, Hayraker.. I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure your Scout would beat mine for Ugliest Truck.. functional for sure, but.. ick. :D

don't be sorry man, I'll take #1 anytime, even if it is for being ugly.

I prefer to call it 'trail tacky' instead of ugly:flipoff2:
