[SJscouter]

i think i met you and IH4ever up on fordice durring sierra trec. we were the other group of scouts up there,
rig looks good man:D
i like it

[Harvester of Sorrow]

Good looking rig...

[scout254]

2 years in the making of the big bad scout. Saw mechanos at rubicon through gatekeeper, but was not parked on my side.:flipoff2:
Also saw Sjscouter when I was on winch hill 1 duty, I was parked because I broke both dana 60 studs for spring u bolt plates that weekend, Ih4ever was in same group.
Scout on hold right now, waiting for better high steer arms, bent two chev 1 ton tie rod ends in the last couple months. Also, too many vehicles in yard that need attention.

[binderbound]

Cute!

[slipscomb]

Nice looking Scout!

Yeah, I remember talking to you breifly at Gatekeeper. It is a nice looking rig.... maybe that's because everytime I see it, it's parked. :flipoff2: :laughing:
Oh, that wasn't me parked on my side in Gatekeeper, that was crjohnso.:flipoff2: I parked on my side on the slabs leaving Buck.:D

Welcome...:evil:

[qmotorheadp]

[Shadow man]

Nice winch! :flipoff2: Looks like you have you a really good one there. :)

[rockhog]

Looks good bro......

[Brandon]

nice..

but..




get a full roll cage

How bout some specs?

[Ben W]

That scout seems really familiar to me...

[Brandon]

Ben is that a scout back seat or ?

[Ben W]

Ben is that a scout back seat or ?

Jeep CJ seat, YJ seat is the same too.

[Brandon]

Jeep CJ seat, YJ seat is the same too.


kewl, I got a YJ seat for whenever mine gets going.

[ih4ever]

hey brian you little fawker... your scout sucks, :flipoff2: your lucky i was at your house last night to help you get those pics up and on the internet for all to see... show them some pics of your broken parts...:flipoff2:

yeah he parks his scout a lot, its sitting in his driveway right now:D :D

[scout254]

:) yeah, BenW's scout looks just like mine, probably same red oxide primer too.
U guys mention rear seat, I also have a stock 68 scout800 rear seat that fits in mine. My 63 scout took 2 long years of building, I did all the fabrication and installation on it at home.
Scout is only sitting right now because of wait for BTF to send my new 60 high arms. Full roll cage is planned before next summer, but have to make it fit for 1/2 cab during winter months, also working on alum. gas tank for more capacity, the Truckavenger drinks up the gas with 40's and 4.88's and
5600 lbs of weight. I will post more specs when get off work, have to pay off scout parts.
:cool2:

[Brandon]

dang, and I thought they were 35's...

my 37's are gonna look small!

as for the specs I guess I could look at your sig :P

I'd like to see a pic of your engine bay if ya got one (wether you cut out the front core support, how you did your steering box, etc)

[BLK Scout 800]

Cool shit :grinpimp: looks good man but..............It needs some dents:flipoff2:

Don't worry mine is in the drive for now also......but you know that:flipoff2:

[MochaMike]

Also saw Sjscouter when I was on winch hill 1 duty, I was parked because I broke both dana 60 studs for spring u bolt plates that weekend, Ih4ever was in same group.

You were with Abba right?
I talked to you guys as well.

I had the "other" 80.

[scout254]

Hello again MochaMike, yeah I was with Abba on winch hill #1. I probably have some pics of your rig coming through sierra trek, also have more pics of scout group coming through gate keeper. :D
That was my 1st sierra trek with the scout, been building it up. I have been working on getting the bugs out...... broken 60 outer axle shaft, two front 60 ubolt studs, twisted the rear gm 14 bolt tube, two chev 1 ton tie rod ends, and added hydralic assist. to turn those 40's.:grinpimp:

[MochaMike]

Hello again MochaMike, yeah I was with Abba on winch hill #1. I probably have some pics of your rig coming through sierra trek,

Cool, email me if you find them. I think I have some too, but no pix server access any more...

Asside from Hollister in March, that was my rigs maiden voyage...
Only carnage was broken rubber motor mount, then a broken weld to same mount (bad design from P.O.).

[Snoopy]

Decent rig. I like the color.

[ih4ever]

i probably have some pics of you too going through winch hill 1. yeah i was the only scout not broke down at the camp this year, even though i went up the short cut and ended up with a dented door and no side mirror... i cant wait till next year...

i will have to talk to a club member to see if he made a CD with all the pictures that were taken during th sierra trek this year then i could post more pics up on here.

Brian where is my dads 62 scout?? and how about that j$%p??
he wants it ready within the next two sierra treks. :flipoff2:

and brian you havent told them yet, about how you paint your truck, like that can of primer under your seat, that you break out and spray when you get a scratch:flipoff2: :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

NO Say it ant sooooo :shaking:
Well after he wheeled with us (riding bitch) maybe he will stop that :laughing:



WTF Beener to good to come play with the big DOGS or are you down waiting for some real tires :flipoff2:

[scout254]

U litttle $*@!$#, that can of primer is stored in the garage now. I had it in the scout when I was working on the interior, and used that as a joke of painting the body on the trail. :flipoff2: :flipoff2: :flipoff2:
Hey Brandon, I did cut out the orig x-member and fabbed another behind the frt bumper. The ps box is a saginaw800 series, later swapped for a PSC box. Also swapped in a tilt-telescoping caddy column with Borgeson u-joints on the steer shaft. Had to create two new front body mounts since I chopped out the stock rad. mount. Will have some pics of engine bay later tonight if needed.:)

[scout254]

Since you guys pushed me..................

[R290]

I saw your Scout during the fall run at the gate keeper. One cool Scout for sure:D, here is one more shot of you "wheeling". Hats of to Doc for making the run on 32":eek: Post a couple shots of your front end, steering, shakels,etc. I am also getting ready to put in D60/14 combo.

[Brandon]

thanks for the pics, much appreciated :)

Diggin that you got a booster in there for your brakes!

If you happen to go up to iron mtn this winter or if that thing comes back toward sac I'd like to check it out!

[reuben]

Hello again MochaMike, yeah I was with Abba on winch hill #1. I probably have some pics of your rig coming through sierra trek, also have more pics of scout group coming through gate keeper. :D

can you post up the pics you have of the scout group on the con, i have the green scuggy, thanks

[scout254]

That's funny, I used to live in Elk Grove. The scout passed through there after sierra trek ended.:) The booster was fabbed to the stock mount with a 88 3/4t surburban 2x booster, and yes i had to trim the fender a bit, but i boxed it back in to keep the mud out. Yes, I pretty much rewired the whole scout, except for the tail lights.

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c101/scout254/PB010034.jpg

The con was fun, spent a whole week up there, drove both directions. Then saw reuben's group on last day at the gatekeeper:cool2:

I'll take more of that purdy black one brian :smokin:

[scout254]

hello joshua, just hanging out right now. Still no parts via UPS from BTF, so no work on scout tonight. Those were the only two "blkscout800" photos that i got at your run before the battery died:mad3:

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c101/scout254/linespics0172.jpg

[BLK Scout 800]

Oh thanks YOU cut me right out of that one :flipoff2: Good to see you got the BLING rubi :barf:




Oh ya DENTS = Not parked :eek: :grinpimp:

[scout254]

Yeah, I know. Just didn't have more good pics of ur rig. Maybe u can flip it on it's side again for me to get some more better shots:flipoff2: NO PARTS YET=PARKED

[BLK Scout 800]

[Snoopy]

Blk Scout800, is your rig back together? What did you end up with on your crawl? I know you were shooting for 170:1

[61scout80]

Cute!

that has got to be the single most offensive thing you can say about someones rig..... :flipoff2:

[BLK Scout 800]

Blk Scout800, is your rig back together? What did you end up with on your crawl? I know you were shooting for 170:1


Well the trip I had planed for a year came to soon for me to get all the stuff done at once. So I focused on the FI part of the motor swap, once I had that done I noticed that the suspenion was off (300 lbs off the nose) made thye front way high:shaking: So I added 56'' chevy leafs to the front and 63'' leafs to the rear....Anyway I made the trip without any problems other than having to pull the hood for heat issues...The plan was sm465(6.56) x toy(4.7) x 4.88=150.3 but I decided to keep my 300 and go with the 4.xx and 32 spline outputs. That gives me 6.56 x 4.00 x 4.88 = 130ish

For the trip I left the case alone I think it's 2.6 and that gave ma 85ish:(

I take a 20 x 1 loss but I think I just was going to be better for me in the end this way.....maybe :rolleyes:

[Snoopy]

:smokin:

[ih4ever]

yeah josh thats it im waiting for some real tires:flipoff2: :flipoff2:

im driving around its my daily driver... why 35's arent big enough for ya?? i remember someone else having 35 too.:D :D

just wait untill i get full widths

[BLK Scout 800]

Got a few 70 rears up here and a 60 or two....no fronts tho:(

[scout254]

You know "ih4ever", that time and money will always hold you back from joining the big dogs. You already know that it took me two years to do my monster mods to the scout and that i joined a couple new credit card companies. Your scout will be there one day, but right now....:flipoff2: See ya later:)

[BLK Scout 800]

yeah josh thats it im waiting for some real tires:flipoff2: :flipoff2:

im driving around its my daily driver... why 35's arent big enough for ya?? i remember someone else having 35 too.:D :D

I was in hopes that you had a reason for hiding out when it's time to play :D
But if it's your DD then I can see Y U would not be able to drive it up here :laughing:

35's are fine for Zuks and mini coopers:evil: :flipoff2:

[scout254]

MY PARTS FINALLY SHOWED UP!
For those who are going to install or have a kingpin style front dana 60, this is the way to build the steering linkage.
The problem i had was from buying dana 60 hi-arms that only had one hole on them. This is the pic of the first set, (for sale by the way!:) )

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c101/scout254/PB010038.jpg

These worked fine until I actually went wheeling hard, and bent the 1 ton chev tie rod end. I thought it was nothing, and replaced it. But later it happened again.

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c101/scout254/linespics289.jpg

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c101/scout254/PB030011.jpg

These are the new BTF arms that i just got...two tie rod end holes on the pass side arm....

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c101/scout254/PB030002.jpg


These are much thicker and stronger than the first set. These BTF arms still retain the king pin spring and yet get rid of the stock grease cap.

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c101/scout254/PB030005.jpg

Hopefully this should cure my bent tie rod end issues:D Now I just need more time to install them......( I cant go wheeling yet!, still waiting on two more threaded bung ends for my tie rods.....)

[BLK Scout 800]

:smokin:

[Snoopy]

I have never agreed with mounting the draglink to the tierod ~ I did it once then started having Bonz custom build longer arms to mount the tierod/draglink to seperate holes on the pass-side arm.

Besides the bending, they will swivel and cause what seems like play in the steering.:rainbow:

[mxracer33x]

scout looks good brian, glad you finally got your parts. Now someday ill get some time to finish my rig and show you how to use all those new parts :flipoff2:

[Gen. Nonsense]

Cute!:confused: :laughing:

Nice looking Scout.

[scout254]

When you go wheeling, try not to pick a bad line!:p
This front outer dana 60 axle shaft snapped when i was high centered on a huge rock in nor-cal during the summer. Both rear tires were off the ground, and the front left was in a hole. Guess which side snapped when i started to drag the brakes trying to get the frt powerlock to engage.

[R290]

OUCH!! You can get a replacement at DandCextreme. I think pictures are required when ordering, showing just how you broke it.:eek: :D

DandC axle link (http://www.dandcextreme.com/product_subcat_list.asp?pkID=29&subcat=79&subcatL=84)

[BLK Scout 800]

Pics are cool but the video was Priceless :flipoff2: You pinched the hell out of it that day :p

[ih4ever]

hey brian i just figured out how you broke your axle shaft...

look how dirty it is... you forgot to clean that part. and it cost you $300 :flipoff2: :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

You already know that it took me two years to do my monster mods to the scout

monster mods??? you call those monster mods? what the hell are you talking about your scout is small:flipoff2: :flipoff2: :D

and josh, im 19 and i dont have enough money to buy a "tow rig" like brian:D and i dont have enough money to buy a honda to drive around in either. so for now i like to keep my truck local, for the most part, i dont mind going once a year to sierra trek, because i know no matter what happens i will get back home...

all i need is a new motor, some new axles, and a new paint job... but untill then i would like to keep my DD in one piece:p :p

[BLK Scout 800]

[/quote] but untill then i would like to keep my DD in one piece:p :p[/QUOTE]


Good luck with that :flipoff2:

[scout254]

Well, finally got out of bed at 1 pm today. Too much bar hoping.:barf: After draging myself around, i finally mounted both 60 arms and welded the two left-threaded bungs on the two tie rods, still waiting for other two bungs.

BLkscout800 should redo his o2 sensor mounting and re-weld up that frame before problems arise.:shaking:

[BLK Scout 800]

OK OK :flipoff2:

[scout254]

wish that i had parts to finish the steering so i could go wheeling, only got to put on high steer arms yesterday....:p

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c101/scout254/PB060002.jpg

[Theminer49er]

Stop spending your money at the bar :barf: and you would have the bling :grinpimp: for fixing that truck of yours. So then you could actually take that thing off road!!:flipoff2:

[ih4ever]

brian i cant believe you went bar hopping, thats not like you at all:D :D are you sure you put you knuckles on straight?:flipoff2: they looked bettter when they werent painted... come on brian get those steering buns and ends and lets go up and play in the mud. ooops i forgot you dont go in the mud:rolleyes: :rolleyes: ok so we will have to find some snow then...

[BLK Scout 800]

Rocks damn it :shaking: Think rocks.....

[scout254]

Is this what you meant when you mention rocks.....was that wheel on rock or rocks on wheel??????????

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c101/scout254/eb828f62.jpg

[TheCopperCowboy]

:laughing:

[BLK Scout 800]

Oh come on when you can keep up through an entire creekbed then you can tell me about ''how big'' your rocks are....Might even get a dent or 2 :shaking:

[scout254]

:mad3: This is the only way to work on the scout when you get home after it's dark already....it sucks....I want my daylight savings back:(

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c101/scout254/PB080035.jpg

And yes PG&E loves my paid bills, and my neighbors like my LOUDNESS:evil:

blkscout800: still missing 2 threaded bungs for steer, look back in thread for pics of new arms

[ih4ever]

brian you call those rocks?? those are pebbles you just picked up on the side of your house... you need to get that thing out of your driveway and take it off roading:)

[scout254]

No kidding ih4ever, I want to go.......but still waiting on parts, and sitting in front of this computer doesnt help me finish the scout unless I hit the OFF button, which is happening right n........................

Ps: send me the quote (via PM) that u got for the Elocker/Electrac/ARB earlier for the dana 60, see ya later :)

[scout254]

This was after 4 days at the rubicon this august....my budy pulled his blazer up, so I had to also......
