I keep thinking I should paint callipers ... and decide I don't want to deal with bleeding brakes. Looks good!

You might/should be able to paint the calipers w/o removing them.  I have them off to replace the rotors and brake flex line.  Made it easy.  👌

It has been a three step forward and two backward kind of week with the Scout.  Currently waiting for new calipers from RockAuto and the proper aforementioned lock ring from a Scout parts site in Oregon, US of A.

Not any in Canada for a ‘79 Scout.  🤷‍♂️
 

Not going to be able to work on it for a few weeks.  A good domestic change happening. 👌

More later!

The calipers from RockAuto have arrived, as well as the proper locking ring.  However working on a more pressing domestic item atm.

Some day, some week, some month, we will be working on the rigs again.  Life priorities!  🤷‍♂️👌. LG!

Yep, I hear ya there, my projects have been ignored due to busy schedule, but things are happening and hopefully will get back on track

Hmm, interesting.  Ya can’t see it from the front of the truck!?!  It seems most truck cabs have a flat roof.  The current-gen Ranger has a rounded roof.  High in the middle, lower front and back.  🤷‍♂️🤪👍

All good though!

Been picking away at a few things.

Installed a (used) toolbox on the Ranger.  I’ve yet to move a tote bag of stuff from the rear seat floor into it.  The box needs a bit more cleaning and removing some ‘flashing’ from old bolt / screw holes.  I hope to get a proper profile pic.45AE378A-1560-457C-98FB-B557109FC3A9.thumb.jpeg.087dfc3dac3ffc50394208a468c8fb49.jpeg

And spraying the inside of the tailgate with bedliner.  It has been so long since I had bought the first can I had forgotten where the can was and bought more, of course.  🤷‍♂️

Sprayed at the end of the day so it would stink and dry before the next project day.
