: Back in Binder-dom
Snoopy 01-27-2005, 06:51 PM Well, after a month long dance with never-ending set backs, my Traveller ~ soon to be Terra ~ has been pulled back out of the shop. :shaking:
I didn't take any pictures of it outside, but here's one of it just before I pulled it out and cleaned up the confetii packaging all over the floor :shaking: . It's a DD ~ so it didn't get anything too wild ~ but I did build it up just enough to pull double duty as a lite-to-moderate trail rig :D :D
Current Specs:
'79 Traveller
345 w/ 4bbl manifold and DUI
TF727 (stock)
Dana 20 (stock)
Travellal front axle, 4.27 (open), SOA on 2" lift springs, 5.8* caster CV-Shaft, HySteer, Alloy axle Shafts
"Big Bronco" 9-inch rear axle, 4.27 (Detroit), 31-spline, BigBearing, TSM Rear Disc conversion, SOA on 2" lift springs, CV shaft, Alloy rear axle shafts.
36" SuperSwamper TSLs on 15x8 (4"BS) chrome spokes (mostly bald from over-inflation so at least the sides have good meat left)
Future Mods:
Tera Top w/ Bulkhead
Roll Bar
Front & Rear Bumpers
Rewire Trailer Brakes and 7-pin connector
SSII Grill
New 35-36s (these ones are beat)
15x10" rims ~ or 1.25" wheel spacers, whichever is cheaper :D
Possible Future Mods:
Rear tube bed-rail 'runners' combined with a shorty Safari Rack.
I'm stoked, it'll be the first time driving my own scout in 9 months. :shaking: :laughing: :eek: :rolleyes:
Ben W 01-27-2005, 06:56 PM Wow, you can almost tell that's a scout in the picture, can't you get any closer? :flipoff2:
Snoopy 01-27-2005, 07:57 PM ...can't you get any closer? :flipoff2:
Heck ya! Here's one just for you! :evil:
budget76 01-27-2005, 08:05 PM how beautiful, no grease or rust on those breaks :D
Eagle-Mark 01-27-2005, 08:16 PM Very nice BRAKES !

Snoopy 01-27-2005, 08:54 PM I may just have to do that...
Rock Tractor 01-27-2005, 09:30 PM Wow, you can almost tell that's a scout in the picture, can't you get any closer? :flipoff2:

Snoopy 01-28-2005, 09:48 AM Falling over: Ya it was like: "WWWWOOOOO ~ [click] GOT IT" ~ CRASH!
No parking brake ~ NOPE :D :D I have yet to have a working parking brake on any of my scouts ~ modified or not ~ so I figure if the stock ones dont work, why bother :D :D
Action Shots: Soon very soon.

Rock Tractor 01-30-2005, 10:36 PM Snoop, Jeff lives twenty five minutes from me and we've only wheeled together once. Since your about 1000 miles away you dont have to worry about it :flipoff2:
Are you two comin to Hollister or what? :cool2:

I'm still planning on it. Worked on my travel trailer this weekend and almost have it completely ready. As long as I don't have my Scout all torn apart swapping that Dana 60 and NV4500 I have waiting for it.
Yes, I'm anal about parking brakes or the lack of one. I didn't run a parking brake until one day it nearly cost me my life. So please as I ask park downhill. :flipoff2:

WireGeek 03-23-2005, 08:35 AM Snoop,
I heard of a guy who builds bumpers for Scouts...
Looks like you need one! :flipoff2:
Snoopy 03-23-2005, 09:54 AM I got a rear bumper already, a customer didn't like the powdercoating HE picked for it, so he returned it for an unfinished. Funny thing is that the powder is about as close to the body color as you can get. Hope to have it on there before too long. ~ but i'm going to paint it black. :evil:
SCOUTMAN67 03-23-2005, 11:25 AM Looks great Damian! I always loved the way those Terra's look lifted like that. Badass!

Snoopy 03-24-2005, 08:27 AM Chrome ~ as you can see on the rear-shot. The chrome was removed last weekend. I'm thinking of replacing it though ~ it seemed to run faster with it. :confused:
Snoopy 03-24-2005, 08:27 AM http://www.justinternationals.org/Binder-Bench/images/smilies/wave.gif
Now that's funny.
