Thanks for the tips! I'll get some pictures up soon.

We found a broken u-bolt on the left front differential side. It has dual front shocks, is this normal? They have a sticker on them, orange with WWWW Ord printed on them. I've found that this company is no longer in business.

Do springs go bad? We don't know if this thing has aftermarket springs or stock springs. It has 31" tires on 15" rims, and it still has a lot of clearance in the wheel wells. The shackle bushings are shot, the list goes on, and I won't tell you about the 2 rats that were living in the Scout!

This thing has been sitting for 7+ years, the owner used to go out and start it but hasn't started for years.

Our wives can only look at it and laugh at us, but we're going to drag them out into the desert with us when we get it running! Who'll be laughing then! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> We can't wait to start using the Scout, we got the 4x4 bug in 2002, and now we have our project! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
