I did recently see a photo of an XR with a Scorpio rear bar, I was debating to try and use that on my XR, but as mentioned, I would have to make a mount on the arms for the outer connection. Drop the whole rear beam out of the Scorpio; diff, brakes and all. Then bolt the whole assembly on your XR. ...

Scorpio front calipers and XR front calipers are the same so you can just put the 5 lug fronts right on. Theres a sleeve out there that lets you put the stock XR strut in the Scorpio knuckle, too. Fairly bolt on friendly. ( Godfrey made the sleeve originally, I think pyropete made some as well ). If...

Yes the hazard button not working is common, and also common is when the turn signals don't turn off automatic when you straighten the wheel. x100 very common problem remedied by a new turn signal switch / hazard button assembly.
