Thank you DandC Extreme

[JoshC]

Damian offered up a gift certificate for the Fall IH Rubicon Run (http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=337173).

DandC Extreme (http://www.dandcextreme.com) has supported us for at least three years now and we really appreciate it.

I don't know really if it's my place to say, but this year the prize is going to someone who didn't even attend the event...

Some of you may have read recently that local IH guy Jeff H. died in a motorcycle accident. Well Jeff and his son had been working on a Scout project. Mike (Rocktractor on this site) is a close family friend and is going to help see the project through.

Long story short, we talked and decided that the gift cert should go towards a cage for said project rig. Mechanos drove all that way and beat his rig to a pulp and would have been the likely winner otherwise, but thanks to everybody who gave up their chance and thanks again to DandC for helping out with this every year.

It will be a priveledge to wheel with Jeff's son when the rig is done. And Mike, you know you have all the help you need as soon as you need it.

All around, sounds like it's going to a good home. What a great place for the cage kit to go, you all done good!!:flipoff2:

[Mechanos]

No problem.... I would have made the trip anyhow, gift certificate or not. Ever since I started reading 4x4 rags when I was 16 or so, I've always wanted to build a truck and run the Rubicon with it. This trip was kind of a fulfillment of a childhood dream. I think Jeff's son could use it a LOT more than I could. Mike, if I was closer, I'd gladly help out in the fabbing/wrenching to be done on his Scout. Keep us posted.

[SSGTWC]

That's cool!!!!

Holy cow...there's a twist I didn't see. Josh, you're in charge, send me an addy for the lucky guy and we'll get one going.

Mech, you were supposed to win, is there anything I can get for you....maybe some new sliders. ;)

[Rubicrawler]

Wow! Josh, that's awesome! Your story really choked me up. You Scout guys are doing a great thing and I want in! Let me know when the work party is and I'll help;)

[Shadow man]

Mech, you were supposed to win, is there anything I can get for you....maybe some new sliders. ;)

The way that it looks like he wheels, he will need an EXOCAGE! :flipoff2:

[crjohnso]

I had a feeling this was where it was going and am happy to hear I was correct. I have been looking around for a good donor SII for this project as well since my understanding is the 800 starting point is not much of a starting point. I will keep mike (rocktractor) posted if any good candidates turn up. Also as this project gets going keep in mind I have a small stock pile of SII parts and might have something to help in that department as well. Just tell Mike I will leave what he needs in the back of my PU lol.

C-

[Rock Tractor]

Yup, gonna do the project on a RUNNING ScoutII. The 800 is to much vision that I don't see, If that makes sence.
Craig keep your eye's out, actually everybody keep a look out for a decent rig that wont need years of work:laughing:
Damain, thanks again for the cage. It will/is going to a deserving home.

I didn't see that coming either.... heck yeah!!! If you're offering up some sliders, I could use 'em. :smokin:

No.
Needs to be in the price range of "cheap to free"

[littlerock_82]

ok. well if i see anything i'll post for ya

[crjohnso]

The truck also needs to be in the Northern California proximity!

[reuben]

yup, lets keep this at the top for more exposure

[Scouty]

Hey Mike, are you guys going to go Scuggy? Just wondering because I have seen a couple Scout IIs in the right price range, but the bodies are pretty rough.

[Pacific]

You guys are top notch. Jeff was a good friend of mine. I met him in 1990 and learned alot about IH's from him. I moved to Tenn in 1992 and we built alot of trucks over the phone over the last 13 years. I last saw Jeff 6 1/2 years ago when he flew out for my wedding. We went wheeling and did a cut and turn on a front axle. He flew out and I put him to work. Not a better friend out there. I kinda know some of you guys from the stories about Hollister, Rubicon, etc.

Build Lloyd a great Scout and maybe someday I'll be able to come out and run the Rubicon with you guys and Lloyd.

It would be great to start a project thread so that everybody could keep up with the build as it progresses.

Ed

[reuben]

it needs to be a registered street legal scout.

[Snoopy]

Well if you guys need suspension parts, perhaps I can help there too. Like an RS kit, LTSS, stuff like that.

[reuben]

thats great snoopy, when we get started we will be in touch.

[ihojeff]

Props to D&C for donating parts. I've also been in contact with RockTractor about helping with the build. Should be one bad ass Scout when its done.

[Snoopy]

We help where we can, then we over-charge JoshC to make up for it! ;) :D :eek:

LOL I'm happy to throw my hard earned money at guys like you and Sean. It looks like Jeff needs to have my credit card on file too. ;)

The IH community is truly something special.

[Rock Tractor]

Hey Mike, are you guys going to go Scuggy? Just wondering because I have seen a couple Scout IIs in the right price range, but the bodies are pretty rough.
Are they running?

[Scouty]

I'm not sure, I've seen them parked in a field in Rio Linda. Let me do some investigating, they've been there a long time, bodies are rough but they are all complete. I should be able to check them out this weekend.

Fella's -
I think I might have a scout II, 345, auto. I bought it today it is not running but I was promised that it does run. It has recently been line-x ed and the body is pretty stinkin straight. It has a 4" SUA, and all terrain 33's, w/bushwacker flairs. The only problem I see is that...1) it is a 78 (smog:barf: ) 2) It has a drum brake d30. But, it can go toward the project no charge. Hopefully I can get it running. I have been thinking of how I could contribute. Hopefully this can get things rolling. I try to fire it this week and let you know... I might be able to provide a sprung over D44 housing as well.

Wow Sean! That is very generous! :)

[crjohnso]

Sean that is WAY cool and generous!! I haven't seen anything worthy yet so this is good news.

C-

[ihojeff]

I know how to make that 78' magically turn into a pre 76';)

Either way very generous of you Sean. I was going to ask RockTractor about a 80' that I have but it is far from complete but buildable.

[Rock Tractor]

That would Kick Ass:smokin:

[scoutrallye]

I set aside time to get it running this weekend. It is missing hoses, belts, tune-up parts. I will throw all new stuff in it. You guy's are going to be stoked this thing is pretty nice looking. Jeff, pre-76 would be extra cool because it is missing all the smog stuff. Let me know so I can delete the rusted smog tubes and not worry about it. - Sean,

Go ahead and dump the emmission parts. I'll dig around in my DMV file and find a new identity for it.

[scoutrallye]

You are the covert man:cool2: Thanks!

[Joe V]

When you guys figure out what parts are needed, try to make a list and post it up with an address where we can ship the donations. Perhaps a project name would help too so we can ship in C/O.

[JoshC]

That would Kick Ass:smokin:

You guys work out the details and let me know if you want me to bring my trailer to work one day. I'm swamped next week but the week after that... Only problem Mike is I couldn't keep it for more than a night or two.

[reuben]

It is going to come to my place for the build. Damn, you guys are really coming through to help out the family. thank you.

[moosemeat]

Ruben. I told Sean that if he donates the truck that is in the yard, I would transport it to your house in lockeford.
Cary

[SJscouter]

if sean provides a housing, id be willing to the SOA for the front.

[Scouty]

If Sean doesn't have a front 44 housing, I've got one to donate.

I checked on the two Scouts in Rio Linda, one runs and the other has a froozen motor. But it sounds like a donor has been found.

[crjohnso]

I have a free front 44 housing in Hayward if needed.

[Mechanos]

I've got a 1980 front housing I donate as well, but the shipping would probably cost about $100.

[SSGTWC]

What all is needed? I have access to pretty much any part on the scout that isn't prone to serious cancer....i.e....fenders or other sheetmetal.

Right now, I can donate caliper brackets, dust shields, and spindles.

I also can donate small bearing chevy spindles, and caliper bracket/dust shields.

[reuben]

wow, thanks for the response guys. as soon as the rig gets to my house we can start figuring out what it needs. thanks again.

[scoutrallye]

Cool. Sheet metal is all pretty sharp. I have a 3.73 housing that Kevin can do. Mike and Rueben what gears are you planning to run? I do not have any outers (shafts, spindles, rotors, hubs, caliper brackets) I can get new calipers to slap on it. Still haven't fired it yet hopefully tomorrow. It is great to see all of the support. SSGTWC, if you want to you can ship or drop by the outer parts. That way we can throw everything in the Scout so when it gets to Ruebens everyone can have everything there. I hope it runs well!

[ihojeff]

I know this isn't the garage sale section but I have some parts for sale that were originally Jeff's(not mine). ALL PROCEEDS FROM THESE PARTS SOLD WILL GO TO THE BUILDUP. So if you're looking for any of these parts please know that your money spent will be going to an excellent cause.

392 I/C - rebuilable core - condition unknown - $250
T19 WIDE - $450
D300 Manual Bull Gear - $125
1980 D44 Frt housing - $100
(3) Dana20 Transfer case's - $75 each

Best if payments are made in cash. Again, all proceeds will go to buying much needed parts for the build up. You can either pm me or call 916-652-4706.

I have all outer parts. Let me know whats needed if you fall short on a few parts.

[Snoopy]

HAve we decided what suspension system is going on it? I'm going to be setting up a bunch of D44 front housings for RS/SOA/2" lift this coming week, I may have an extra if that's what you guys are going for.

[Rock Tractor]

Already have a front housing thats set up for SOA. I'v also got 4.27 gears.:smokin:
I think it should be a simple SOA, good handling on the road vehicle.

[scoutrallye]

Good news, I fired it up today and it seemed to run ok. It was quiet and revved pretty good. It had no water pump or radiator so I slapped them in. I will be able to drive it tomorrow. Cary is going to deliver it Friday or Sat. Mike, Josh or Rueben let me know if that is cool. Sounds great on the SOA housing 4.27's should be perfect. It already has 3 or 4" lift springs. Glad to see everything coming together. You guy's are all champions in my book:D - sean

REUBEN...EM me your home address. This Saturday works best for me in the AM. Details later on.
CR

[silverscout]

What parts are needed? I have set of 4 inch springs that could be used or if not parts can be purchased. More importantly, when can I come and lend a hand? I've got mad skills with a grinder.

[scoutrallye]

sorry for the lapse:rasta: Yes, that is my intention. That it will be drivable. -sean

[JoshC]

Wow! Sounds like there's plenty of support for this.

Reuben, do you have a digital camera? It'd be great to capture any progress in a buildup thread. I have one for you if you don't.

A buildup thread will be a great place to get a handle on what parts/help is needed too. I see a lot of people here offering up stuff, but I'm not sure if you need it or not. I'm sure that will be more clear Sat once you get a closer look at the rig.

[reuben]

i will be doing a thread on TDO once I get it here and have an idea how we are going to build it. once again thankyou to every one offering a helping hand. it is great that those of you that never hed the pleasure of meeting Jeff, are so willing to help.

[Snoopy]

If its possible, please cross-post that thread here.

If its possible, please cross-post that thread here.


i will put up a link to it from here.

I'll take care of the booster/master cylinder side of things. I actually had to call Mechanos to decipher this thread. It reads really hard guys. As I was reading I got this son lost his father (my prayers are with you), they where building a rig, now needs a rig? Found a runner? Delivering it to? Really confusing.

Perhaps a decent write-up would get other vendors to kick in and get this kid on the road. Meanwhile when your ready for the brakes give me a call.

keep us posted

[crjohnso]

WOW, quite amazing how many people have stepped up to the plate on this project. I was planning to donate some parts, but have a feeling that by the time the parts needed list is posted everything I have to contribute will be "taken care of" already and I will be sitting on my misc. pile of parts wondering what happened. Again, wow… how awesome it is to see so many people contribute to such a worthy project.

Also, as I read through and see who has donated there is no doubt which venders I will use exclusively should I need anything.

Looks like I will just have to donate time instead of parts so Rubin and/or Mike let me know when you need help and I will make myself available when the wrench-a-thon begins.

Craig

[SJscouter]

did it get there alright this morning?

[moosemeat]

Yeah, Kev. Lockeford has a new scout. It's all scrubed up and ready for the guys to work their magic. Once it got cleaned up it actually is in pretty good shape--inside and out. Reuben seemed to be stoked.

[reuben]

the scout is here, thank you very much Sean. as a quick list for needed parts:
brake booster and master
tail light housings, I have lenses but nothing else
hard top
hood release knob(sorry, I broke that one)
red side signal light
fan shroud
heater
this is all off the top of my head, there will be more to come.
If you can help with any of these parts please PM myself or Rocktractor

Brake booster and master cylinder is shipped via UPS.

1Z 799 657 03 4216 390 7

Slight chance you can see it tommorow, most likely Monday.

PS. Ignore what the master cylinder looks like. I turned a corvette into a IHC by changing the piston and adding a residual valve. If it ever goes bad just buy a master cylinder for that vehicle and don't try and match that one up as it doesn't exist.

[reuben]

Van, thank you.

also, if anyone has a decent set of 33's we need them. the tires on the rig are all cracked from the sun and loose air.

[Binderfan2002]

Any chance you guys want a set of 35's?

[reuben]

i think i might have a set of 35 already lined up. if it falls through i will let you know, thanks

[reuben]

huge thanks to Van, the brake parts come in today. fricken awesome.

[ihojeff]

When's the first work party?

[reuben]

sat I am going to work on it a little, oil change to see if head gasket is blown. put some gas in the tank instead of the radiator overflow and see what happens.

[scoutrallye]

Take it easy dude:D - That wasn't "the"radiator overflow. It was "a" radiator overflow serving as a temp fuel storage device. You know you like it and want one in your machine.
Seriously, Let me know what's up on the head gasket and I will see what I can do. Keep me in the loop on a work day. I can bring the crew up and do whatever for a few hours.

[Snoopy]

A radiator overflow as a temp fuel tank....Never thought of that :rasta:

[ihojeff]

Winshield washer bottle's work better. They come with a built in electric fuel pump.:smokin:

[reuben]

I talked to Mike and we are going to try to get a bunch of stuff done in a couple of weekends. I will let you guys know when so if you want to help out you can. thanks. ANd Sean I kinda figured that it was just a quik thing with the fuel.

[Creepy196]

Any updates? Do you guys still need the parts I offered?




TTT for a noble thread...

[reuben]

not much has been done, i am busy at work right now so when work slows down i am gonna get moving on it.the booster and master are here and the cage is on the way.

[Creepy196]

TTT Again...






Any progress??? :confused:

[Snoopy]

I know the cage it there, and I'm hoping that Z-draglink got there ~ sent it last month.

the cage is all tacked in and the booster is bolted up. the Z-link is here(thank you). we are waiting for a free weekend to pick up jeffs 800 he was building to get the axles and tires off of it. it is not going to be getting a winch so i dont think that e will be needing the fairlead, thanks though

[Snoopy]

Glad everything got there OK.

[reuben]

i have got to say, the D&C cage was by far the easiest cage kit. i never really measured till the end and it all lined up perfect.all the notches were right on the spot. GREAT job.

Speaking of which, I got the materials this past week, we somehow ran out shouldn't be too much longer. Your not in a hurry are ya? ;)

No.... no big hurry here. I just couldn't help myself there either. You opened the door for a "chops bustin". :laughing:

Snoop you gearing up for sliders.......maybe send me a set. I think im going to pass on the 4 link, Id really want to use bags and I can't seem to find any suitable......or time to start something new when I have so much old stuff to finish up.
