ok well I picked up a radiator from leadfoot last weekend so I got around to test fitting and mocking it up this weekend. By mudmainac3 at 2012-03-25 By mudmainac3 at 2012-03-25 By mudmainac3 at 2012-03-25 Just an FYI when you weld something remember the said part is still very hot. and will burn you causing you to squeal like a girl and may even spit out a profanity or two. just an FYI By mudmainac3 at 2012-03-25 oh and the best part about burns is that they keep hurting for quite awhile after you hurt yourself. well got a little more done on the tunnel is basically done now just gotta add some paint By mudmainac3 at 2012-03-25 I also built rear drivelines for the scout actually made 2 out of my old one out of my old toyota. its 3" schedule 40 fits perfect By mudmainac3 at 2012-03-25 its pretty thick stuff By mudmainac3 at 2012-03-25 here are the 2 drivelines all done and welded up By mudmainac3 at 2012-03-25 well decided to dive into some wiring today and got my tach put in By mudmainac3 at 2012-03-25 I also installed my tail lights and turn signal lights By mudmainac3 at 2012-03-25

ok well I took my flywheel in to get resurfaced today and got it back this evening all done By mudmainac3 at 2012-03-26 I also mounted up some reverse lights where the stock shocks would have mounted up. they fit pretty good. probably get messed up in deep snow or mud but we will see. not a very good cell phone pic but if you look close you can see them on the inside of the shocks By mudmainac3 at 2012-03-26

ok and with the nice weather I figured I would get some time consuming work out of the way on the front and I finally finshed my frame tubes By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-07 By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-07 By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-07 By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-07 By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-07 Well to get the suspension done I had to jack up the truck and some how my floor jack grew feet and walked away so Highlift jack to the rescue but the suspension is to soft and I couldn't find a strap at first By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-07 Then I had figured a way to make my shocks clear the frame just had to do a little notching on the frame By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-07 By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-07 By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-07 Shockingly they clear By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-07

ok I'm set on getting this done so worked on it again after work tonight. I started to install the dash harness and discovered mounting the ECU will kinda be a pain in the butt but I think I figured it out just gotta make a mound for the ecu. I also went and wired the tail lights forward past the rear shocks so I could remount my fuel tank for the final time. (I hope) By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-09 By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-09 Oh and I also topped off the gear oil in the front and rear end so I wouldn't forget. And people keep asking me why my scouts not done yet well its all the little projects that take forever like my winch. Yes I could have just installed it but thats not the way this rig works so I had to do something to it so I customized it. bet you've never seen one like this before By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-09 By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-09

thanks and yeah it was alot of work spent way to much time on it haha. no wonder this things not done yet its all the dumb little things like that i spend to much time on. ok went and did a little work this week bought the a brake master cylinder for a 1978 grand marquis with drum brakes in the rear not disc. also went and bought the clutch master cylinder which is for a 1985 dodge d50 it pretty much bolts up and has the same stroke as stock but has metric lines so will bolt right up to the 3rz slave cylinder. I also bought some oil so I don't forget the motor does not have oil in it. Then I went to the steel yard and got some receiver tubing to make my front driveline. and got it all built ready for paint and install By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-13 By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-13 pictures don't show it welded but it is as of tonight and it will just be temporary just to get it on the trail and then will be my spare. well its the weekend so will definately get some work done on this hog. oh and it definately is long there is 3 feet of square tube on each peice of the driveline. I will have to shorten it a little bit but not a whole lot. flange to flange is 46''

ok got a little work done this weekend. first off I got the front driveline painted and greased up then installed it with new bolts as well as swapping the rear driveline bolts out for the new ones By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-15 By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-15 I also got my hook up point for stuck jeeps ready By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-15 By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-15 I then ran all the wires from the back of the scout into the tub, as well as running the fuel lines from the tank to the engine bay, plumbed the rear brakes to the middle of the body, and mounted everything clean. Here is the process of running everything By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-15 By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-15 By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-15 Here is the finished product By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-15 By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-15 And I finally mounted my winch and getting it ready. I had to massage the power steering box a little with the grinder to make it fit but its in By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-15

ok well i did a little work on the scout after work today. just little stuff. I couldn't fit the air filter on the end of my air intake systems so I cut it down a little so that it would clear my heater box. By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-16 I've been lookin at where I wanna throw my batteries and I finally decided that they fit best right behind the headlights on either side so I made up some battery trays but I will need to pull the grill headlight peice off so that I can install them but that works fine because it will make it easier to brace up my radiator mount as well By MUDmainac3 at 2012-04-16 Then I decided to make an ecu mount that way I can finish my engine wiring this week.

well did a little somethin somethin today. but first I think I said how I had to massage the power steering box to make the winch fit and I took a picture so ou can see By MUDmainac3 at 2012-04-17 I also pulled part of the front clip off so that I can get my battery stuff in. By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-17 By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-17 I then drilled holes and bolted the battery trays in so that I can measure for the supports and also use them as a brace for the radiator mount as well By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-17 By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-17 By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-17 I then tossed the battery's in to check the fitment By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-17 they clear with the hood down so thats good By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-17 By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-17

ok did a little more work today. I added a vertical brace to the battery box and also braced radiator mount to the battery boxes. By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-18 By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-18 I also mounted my power steering cooler and will run the lines in the future. But after looking at the mounts awhile I decided it needed on more brace so I added on on each side. By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-18 By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-18 I then build the battery mounts. Both optimas are bad and need replaced I know the one has a hole in the top. It got dropped By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-18 Well I added my lower steering column mount pretty simple set up just an exhaust clamp welded to the inner fenderwell By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-18 its pretty tight under the hood with everything. I also ran the dash wires under the hood to the fuse box. By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-18 I then routed my headlight wires into the tub By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-18 By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-18 Inside the tub the wiring looks like a mess right now By mudmainac3 at 2012-04-18 Ok last picture for today is just of the front of the scout. I've been looking at the front and I decided I'm not really sure where I wanna put the turn signals at. So just lookin for an idea
