Scout one done. Had to rem out to one and one quarter inch two holes. Now the spare tire carrier can be mounted.
Scout two done. Fuel tank out. Ready to go to the shop and be boiled out.
Scout three done. Install cigarette lighter. As this Scout never had one. Next fix horn button. Next fix door lock assembly. Next adjust drivers door so it closes correctly.. Just needs to put in door seals.
Scout four not done but several projects done. Young Austin is learning. First mount power steering bracket and pump. Next R&R water pump. Next mount coil. Next R&R U Joints. Out with the old in with the new. And a forceful PUT ON YOUR SAFETY GLASSES. So metal chips or the clips that hold the U Joints in don't take your eye out. Next install rear drive shaft.
Done 1520 hrs.
Fun food work.

John I wanted to go down and look at the engines, but my truck had a thunka thunka thunka on takeoff from a stop. Figured it out, transfer case mounting bolts had backed off. Look in my truck thread.

Looks like a lot was accomplished.
