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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted July 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Owning rare rigs is cool, but also a PITA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted August 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 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! .

sar4x4 Posted September 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted October 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 We close the cottage at the end of October. It’s not winterized. Then back at the rigs - l hope! LOTS of maintenance and upgrades done at the cottage. Mama bear is happy, so I’m happy! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted November 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 We’ve been back from the cottage for a week now. Although we’re mostly finishing up seasonal home projects, we’re prepping for working on the Scout! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted December 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 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.

sar4x4 Posted December 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 Worked some more on the Scout. Installing new front flex lines, rotors, calipers , and EBC SUV pads. As noted previously it was not a locally sourced parts / one day job. RF not complete yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted December 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
