Spent some time checking out the coast line and out lying areas of Cabo.
This is 1o min south of Cabo.
Cabo Poluma. Went diving in the Sea of Cortez. Very cool dive.
The marina next to the hotel. A great hotel and a great location.

Cabo Trip Pt. 2
29 Sept 2008.
The plane is put to bed and its time for some relaxation. The weather is around 87deg and very humid. Almost near 90%. Had a 30 min drive to the hotel, downtown Cabo.
Great view from my window.
The pool has a sit in bar. Might be dangerous. :)
AAAAh. Pacifico and feet proped up. Nice.
The Cabo Wabo. Where is Sammy. I know his Birthday is next week. Bummmer.
Cool posters in the Cabo Wabo.
Day 29 Project Iron Wolf
Sept 10 2008
Got the drive train back from Ontrack 4X4 and Dave's Auto. I will be putting the drive line in to get final axle lineup. I will have to mate the drive line with the motor and install into Iron Wolf.
Full shot of the Drive line.

The new tail housing. I had the International tail housing removed and a Jeep Cherokee tail housing was installed to accommodate the NP 231 transfer case.

Day 28 Project Iron Wolf

Finally got the rear suspension set up. I now need to put the engine and drive train in to get the final angle set up for the drive line.
Four link all in place. Only thing missing is the Shocks. Not sure where I want to place the shocks.

Day 27 Project Iron Wolf
29 Aug 2008
The day to get the body put onto the frame. The suspension is going together, but I need the body to be set into place so I can get the axles set into place and rock sliders set into place.
It took six guy to lift the body off my other scout and put it on the frame of Iron Wolf.
In this picture you can see the garage door is very close to the windshield hoop. 4" of clearance.
Set in place. In this picture you can see the new body bushing and the 3" body lift.
Another view. 39.5" Irok and Hummer set in place. In this picture you can see some of the suspension with the coil in place on left side. The height of the Scout should drop about 2". Still pretty tall.
Day 26 Project Iron Wolf
July 31 2008
Recieved most of the suspension from D&C Extreem. This set of pictures are the rear suspension all set in place.
This picture is the frame insert all welded up. This ties the rear four link and front three link to the frame.
The forward anchor point for the four link.
The Dana 60 Truss.
Rear anchor point of the four link.
Good shot of the right side. Everything is tacked awaiting the drive train. I need to have the tranny, NP231 Box 4 Rocks doubler kit, and Dana 300 to go in so I can set pinion angle.

Day 23 Project Iron Wolf
22 April 2008
This is the fifth day that I have been working on the body work. I now know why it cost so much money to get a car painted. This is a tough job. I am very glad that this body is in great shape.
I have two of the panels about 60 % done. I'm glad to report that there is only about an 1/8" of bondo at the thickest.
Hood. The black paint that was sprayed on to protect the body did a great job. The bad thing is this stuff is a pain to get off. I think they sprayed a rubberized undercoating on the whole truck.
A little more and the hood will be ready for the glaze.
Had to put this picture in. It is a humming bird in her nest. She is in the tree next to our house and looks down at me working. Very cool.

Day 22 Project Iron Wolf
21 April 2008
After a few weeks crawling in and out of my attic trying to get my 240 volts wired to my garage; I finished on the 19th but had to fly on the 20th. So today I was able to burn metal. Thanks Jeremy, (my neighbor) for helping me wire my garage.
