Nice! I now have a new use for old dryer sheets. I use old dryer sheets when I wash my truck to clean the bugs off the front and the rough stuff off the lower panels. Bugs come right off and doesn't hurt the surface.

I don't know what it is with these upgrade portals but they are definitely not as tough as the Gen 8. Hopefully the housing holds up.

Yes. So far I blew the pinion, CV portal gear and now this. But my gen8 has been great.

Here is thought they where the same. Do they have the same parts or are they like the beta axles?

They are the updated. Maybe I just had bad luck. They look identical.

Made a few changes. Threw the scout body in the corner and this is what I came up with. Still have a few things to do but it's driveable and it handles fantastic so far.

I bet switching from the Scout II to the BombercExo made a dramatic difference. 👍🏼

Yes sir. The cage is lighter than the body and also sits lower so it's a great improvement.

Little more progress. Added part of a scout grill.
