And I’m sure you’ll post updates as the project progresses-right?

Yeah. Probably won't be until the Spring. I should get your input on interior recommendations.

I need to commit a time to head down your way. I still have some of my leftover Bronco items for you to look at. BTW you should post a pic of your Scout next to your Bronco.

Love the picks. Puts into perspective how large the broncos are compared to the original Scouts

Granted the Bronco is on 35s with a 2 inch lift. The Scout is on 31s, not sure of the lift. Today is probably the last time I'll drive the Scout for the year but need to replace the tires which will be 33s.

I find it amazing on how Scout Motors was able to modernize that color. To something that stands out

Completely agree and there is a real depth in that paint that was above and beyond what any photo is able to convey. I’d still love that color for mine but afraid it’s gonna be a very common color

I concur, SM nailed the Tahitian Red color. Seeing it in person i couldn't imagine it being more perfect. I usually like to have vehicles of varying colors but at this point I'm opting to go old school Tahitian Red with the Scout II and modern take on the Traveler.
