: Help a Scout Newbie with Tire Clearance Rubicrawler 04-02-2002, 10:17 PM My daughter is fixin' to buy a 78 Scout II and it needs tires in the worst way. It has SOA using stock springs and a 2" body lift. The tires in question are 35x16x15 Boggers on 15x10 wheels. What clearance problems might we have? I don't mind a little fender trimming if necessary. Thanks:) Old Scout 04-02-2002, 10:36 PM I don't think you will need the sazall. You many need to drop the bump stops.

But she's buying this one :) I bought her first truck, she paid for most of the mods, I do most of the wrenchin'. She's using the money from the sale of her Toyota to buy the Scout and any repairs the rig's going to need. Should be a fun project :skull: muskyman 04-03-2002, 08:59 AM my daughter 4 everytime she rides in the my scout she says "smoke the tires dad" turns out the first time I took her for a ride in it at 3 years old some guys in a TJ pulled up next to us and laughed and called me gramps so I left them in a cloud of mud tire smoke she loves trail riding....likes it when the windshield gets covered in mud! screams when water is flowing through the cab though i think she'l have the bug as her Dad does Rubicrawler 04-03-2002, 09:03 AM Musky- sounds like you're bringin' her up right! jdjanda 04-03-2002, 09:05 AM Does this mean the Yota is sold, and the Scout in P-hill is still available? :bounce: Bring it by the house, well fix it :D Rubicrawler 04-03-2002, 09:09 AM Originally posted by jdjanda Does this mean the Yota is sold, and the Scout in P-hill is still available? :bounce: Bring it by the house, well fix it :D I took a deposit on the Toy last night :bounce: The Scout is still available and we agreed on $3,500.00. Seams like a fair deal. We should have the Scout Friday if all goes according to plan. jdjanda 04-03-2002, 09:28 AM Originally posted by Rubicrawler I took a deposit on the Toy last night :bounce: The Scout is still available and we agreed on $3,500.00.

She loves to watch racing video and keeps asking when I'm going to take her racing... :-) She got to go to the Monster Trucks last summer and watch them and then me in the Tuff Trucks. She wants to go wheelin', too. :) Scary to think what my kids might be like.. :D Cliffy [JD] 04-03-2002, 11:00 AM My daughter, 9 months old (7 months in the pic) usually Looks really serious when riding in ANY vehicle, then she gets in my truck (F-150) and I hit some whoops-like bumps in the field next to my office, and she laughs her @ss off. I love it.
