Well I pulled my car from the road today for the winter. I will definately miss driving the R, I always do. I had two sales fall through and gave up because I was so frusterated with dealing with idiots. I just got a 99 Jeep XJ for the winter and I have already started purchasing parts for this new build. I decided to go the opposite direction with this one.

 

Out here in Arizona our driving season is just beginning!

 

What are your plans for the XJ?!

Well I just orderd a lift kit from Rubicon Express and I am looking to get a set of 30x9.5 BFG All Terrain tires and have them mounted on black American Racing D-Ring rims. From there I am not really sure.

 

Here's my Heep.

 

wtf??? ^^^

 

Yeah, mine's done for the winter, too...oh well...now I can start improving and fixing

 

Nice pics walker. That's badass

 

Nice piece, Walker. I hope to get some work on the Scout done this winter, in hopes of getting her ready for the beach next year.

 

I knew civics were useful for something, they are parking blocks.

Off-roading is alot of money!! There are just too many things to buy, and you have to worry about breakage.

Rust repair

It has 4" Superlift spring lift, 1" rear shackles, 33x12.50's on 15x10 wagon wheels, Kayline soft top, Smittybilt bar, etc. But the rockers and part of the floor pan have rotted out, just like every other Scout on the planet.

I've got to order new outer pans (easy to find, thankfully), and a buddy and I are going to fab up some rocker panels, along with new seat mounts. I'm going to put buckets out of something in it, just don't know what yet. Oh, and a frame tie-in kit for the roll bar.

I'm in the same situation..people say they are"serious buyers" with cash in hand and they never show up.

So the R is in the garage for the winter and I plan to detail every inch of it while its out of service

Sounds like you've got some work ahead of you , Rust is a PITA, I use some stuff called POR15. After every wheelin session I clean the heep and apply this stuff to any open wounds. Its suppose to stop rust, you can apply it directly to rust and it stops it from spreading. Its worked so far with me, After you get your scout up to par I highly recommend this stuff.

Yeah, I'll be using some of that, too

The rockers are basically gone, and the floor pan rot is right around the body mounts, so it's just not safe without repair. Not to worry, she'll be back on the road better than ever

 

Sounds like Scouts rust as much, if not more than Jeeps. Good luck with it, you should pst up some pics!!!

I'm game, I got a winch that will pull you out when you get stuck .

Mud is fun but clean up sucks ****. Rocks a scarce around here, I try to go up to Paragon adventure park as often as I can. That place is awesome!!
