autumnwalker Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Good stuff @sar4x4! The Scout is really coming along. I bet the shop feels just a bit bigger now with all that scrap gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s ~25’x35’ and quite ‘populated’. This load did not make that much of a difference! Lol This week coming we’re taking more scrap in, cleaning up the pile out back, it’s long overdue. The price is poor right now but the opportunity is perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted May 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Making progress overall. Will post pics when something good to show. Loaded another 1/2 ton of scrap before leaving the garage yesterday, taking it in this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted May 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Picking away at the Scout now and again. AND some Ford Performance Parts are reputed (by my local dealer) to be finally on their way and should be here next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted May 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Took an impromptu little rip through Bowater yesterday. Stayed on the main road, barely got a puddle splash or two. Did the loop from the power station, up past the ‘Old Annapolis Hiking Trail’ and back out at the new 103 exit into IngramPort. Also checked where the washout was just in from the IngramPort exit and was very surprised to see it was fixed! It gives a ‘new‘ short crossover between the two entrances. I’ll have to lead a day’s run through all the maze in there, and out to the 101, etc. Beautiful day to be out! Having ‘Asplundh’ cut a tree today for our new shed. Amongst power lines.. Busy busy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted June 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Got my Ford Performance Parts today. Will post pics, but maybe after installation..... Been really busy with the new shed. Sadly I’ve been told the BackRack debut is now pushed back to the fall. Dang Covid.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted June 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 Waiting impatiently on some parts. But too busy to install the ones I have on hand! Lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted June 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Princess Auto ‘Universal’ headache rack. Not bad, since the ‘Back Rack’ brand is delayed until at least the fall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SQRLPWR Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 yeah, maybe a single, but it'll have to be low or removable so I can get in the garage lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted June 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 The Universal rack I bought is designed for full sized trucks. A short trim or two with the grinder made it ‘fit’ the Ranger. Admittedly it’s too high, but it works for now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trimming the top of the uprights would remove too much functionality. Cutting the bottom of the uprights would then require re-welding them back on. Just going to remain as-is for now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted June 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 Adapting an old cargo box to the Ranger atm. Going to look like an old man’s truck! Gotta live the part, lol. My Chinese-made aluminum spark plug wire separators finally made it to me yesterday. Woo Hoo! The Accel wires I put on the Scout are 8.8 mm.. Needed big holders! Back at the Scout soon. I hope!

sar4x4 Posted July 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Final portion of a full complement of LED lights for the Scout just arrived. LED everything, especially the interior bulbs, which is where it all started. BTW the interior bulbs are a ‘53’, something I had never come across before! The headlights are still European ‘component’ bulbs and lenses (Hella), but I will now have LED H4 bulbs instead of halogen H4 bulbs. I have no idea how it’s all going to work out but we’ll see! I expect to have to put in an electronic flasher module (if I haven’t already), and/or resistor(s). On the turn signals at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is on Amazon.ca for $15 and there is also the 2 pin rectangular shape flasher for led light conversion. Roughly same price 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
