Just removed my Scout II D44'd and put my new D60/ 14 bolt srw under my 69 Scout 800 and they stick out alot!! I'm running H2 wheels, 39.5x15x17 so the backspacing will at least help a bit. I'd post pics but have'nt figured it out yet. Rick

It'll grow on you. What is the H2 backspacing anyway? :smokin:

5.5" bs


just put some fender flares itll look right .

I measured backspacing at 6.5"

I know how you feel! At least your tires will rub before your body does! Ive been very happy with my full width so far. What are you running for suspension?

I like the way you set up the back with the tube and cut fenders. Did you do the front too?

yeah ditto on the fenders i'm going to have to do something like that on my up coming build. Hijack off like pontiac used to say, wider is better, if you don't like rolling anyways

I'm running Scout II Traveller leafs front and rear. The front is shackle reverse and the rear springs are outboarded.

My 60/14 came from a cucv, the 14b is around 2" narrower than the 60 on each side. I'd like to narrow one side of the front by 4" or so or maybe get another set of wheels with a deeper offset for the front.

Send me the pictures, I'll post them.

I sent some earlier today, its the yellow 800 w/ chrome H2 wheels. The others are the before pics with D44's Thanks

Oh, that was you. Ok, I thought you wanted to be put in my photo gallary on the web site.:D :confused:

oops. HEre we go. This is the one we're waiting for

Looks hot dude...

Full width still on the 60 right? Looks better than my width with those H2's. I have been looking for a pic with an 80/800 with full width and H2's....

Thanks.

Now cut those fenders up and rock it...

Yeah it looks hot!

Have any pics of your build up?

Damn! You drive just like Mechanos! :flipoff2:

Sweet truck!! I too would like a little buildup info.

Did the wind blow your truck over in that flopped pic??

:laughing:

Keep us posted!!

Damn! You drive just like Mechanos! :flipoff2:
What the hell are you talking about..... he drives the exact opposite of the way I do. I flop on the right side.:flipoff2:

Damn! You drive just like Mechanos! :flipoff2:

Ya looks like he forgot to hit the ARB switch too.:D

Maybe he's from the other side of the pond. :smokin: How did you lay her down anyway? It looks like you're in a field?

The pics are of 1st time out! Buddies and I went down to Mexico; Laguna Hansen(east of Ensenada Baja Mex) and played on a dry lake bed in the sierras of Mex. Total rookie manuever, tried to RTI on a boulder and; shit!! The others are from the Hammers and Gorman OVH area. I'll get my Red Star tommorow and try to upload some pics. I just yanked the V345 this eve and fired up to get the 350/400/Atlas4.3 going!!! Damien will ya post some more pics? Thanks, Rick

The rear looks the same width as the other pics. As you can see the 60F seems to be the only one that's wider. Are you going to run it that wide?

BTW, You need some more tubing supports in the back of your cage.

Believe me it's wider, they stick out a good 6". The old D44's with 15x10's with 4" backspace 35x12.5 tires used to tuck the fender. I'm definetly gonna run them full width.

Thats a Sick Scout! I hope I can achive that look!

I swear, I saw this truck on criagslist a while back, selling wheels or an axle or something

Negative!!!! tried to sell my axles but not my rig.

Have any pics of your build up?

Bringing this one back from the dead... I was digging around to see if you had a build thread and this was the closest I found. Hammerd Scout, do you have pics/details about the build up? I really like the way your Scout looks and I like the 4BT option as well. :smokin: I see you had a 350, then swapped in the 4BT?

No build thread but I'm still finishing it up.

Looks good to me.

No build thread but I'm still finishing it up.

How about some teaser pics and details on the 4BT swap? :smokin: :grinpimp:

What springs are you running?

Wagoneer springs, Rocks are awesome too!

:smokin: That 4BT fits in there schweeeet! That is the cat's pajamas :jealous: :envy:
Please sir,can I have some more [pics]? What radiator did you use? Aftercooler/Intercooler? I've heard turbo Saab and/or turbo Volvos are a good source for a small intercooler if space is tight.
