So, I will admit that I found a plugin that creates before-and-after photo sliders, and I like it. Since I like it, I will use it so much that you may be upset with my overuse. Deal with it!
A brief note for you purists out there….you know who you are, and yes, I am talking to you.
When you say the 72 Scout II’s paint job ain’t “original”, you are correct! The interior’s “too fancy or not stock” – maybe, but I designed it myself. Perhaps you say I shouldn’t have touched the suspension, you can shove your vintage fetish up yourass. It’s my rig; I shelled out the cash, and if you want to play time-capsule cop, you can Venmo your restoration budget. Until then, MY Scout’s gonna be the baddest, most custom beast on the block, and you can cry about it cruising in your stock, rusty ‘72 that smells like regret, bandaids, and mothballs.
Don’t be a gate-keeping a-hole acting like you have the Mona Lisa of off-roaders, but let’s be real: half of you wouldn’t know a torque wrench from a Twizzler. I am busy out here turning my Scout into a rolling masterpiece—maybe I slapped on a sage green and white two-tone paint job that pops like a 70s fever dream, or perhaps I upgraded the suspension so it doesn’t ride like a ham sandwich. And the interior? Glad you mentioned it. I have some saddle brown faux leather that makes it feel like I’m cruising in a whiskey barrel on wheels. Meanwhile, you’re clutching pearls over “factory authenticity” as if it were 1972 and Nixon was still in office.
If you love “stock” so much, you can go sniff the mildew in a junkyard Scout and leave me alone. I am not building a museum piece; I am building a vibe. Next time you open your yap, I will just smile, crank the engine, and peel out while shouting, “Donations welcome, bitches!”
And now… on with the pictures.
