Please let me know if you have any further questions or need more pictures. I tried to include close-ups of typical scout trouble spots to show how EXCEPTIONAL this vehicle is. Since it looks like the Q&A app isn't working for me, so here are a few of the questions I've received about the Scout. Hopefully it will help anyone else with similar questions: Q: Would you buy it and drive it to Alaska? I live here and if its road worthy enough for 3 full days drive I'm interestedA: Most certainly. No guarantees of course, it's a 33 yr old vehicle. However, I would not blink at all at making that trip in it. I have had no issues at all with it. I wish I could drive it up myself, still wanting to get up there and hunt.Q: Hello,I like your Scout. Does that have tilt steering? Does the roll bar sit on the wheel wells or just past the wheel wells? ThanksA:Thank you, it's a wonderful Scout. Yes, it does have tilt steering. The roll bar sits just past the wheel wells. Let me know if you have any other questions.On Sep-12-12 at 23:42:10 PDT, seller added the following information: Q: Is there any rust?A:The roof has some rust in the gutters - what Scout doesn't (poor design)? There is one small rust hole, about the size of a quarter, in the rear drivers side of the roof where, I assume, it had been parked under a drip source. There may be a very tiny bit of surface rust above one wheel in the rear quarter panel. Other than that, I don't know of any. Please contact me if you are interested in further pictures. Q: The seats look great, what condition are they in?A: The drivers seat has foam showing and is pretty torn up on the front, the back is perfect. The passenger seat has a couple of smaller tears on the lower part of the seat. I have had covers on both seats since purchasing the vehicle. The rear seat is in excellent shape. It is missing two buttons, but looks brand new besides that. On Sep-15-12 at 21:02:37 PDT, seller added the following information: Q: Are the front springs reverse shackled? A: Yes, it was done professionally in Texas. It also has about 4" of overall lift.
