Pressure wash the front axle :flipoff2:

no crap lol need some degreaser for the whole thing :shaking: sooo what do yall think i shoud get done on it next :confused:

Post all the impotant stuff up top.
Gear ratio, engine size, transmission , etc.....

Looks like you're gonna need shocks and extended brake lines.
Inspect the brakes and replace everything as needed.

I'm guessing 4.10 gears and maybe 33" tires?

And yes, I'm sure you're still gonna get flamed for not using a Dana 44 with a cut-and-turn. :flipoff2:

Without the cut-and-turn, it looks like you'll be pulling mall duty for awhile :)



Nice driveway carpeting :flipoff2:
Is it stained with cat pee? :p

What is that, a closed knuckle d30?

My wife would say its so ugly its cute....Good luck with the build.

What is that, a closed knuckle d30?

D27...

If your going bigger, like I said before, go with some 44s or 60/44 from a Jtruck.

At least the body looks in good shape. :laughing::laughing:

Yeah. Thats the problem. He should have sold it on Ebay for 5X what he payed for it and used the money to build a beater. Whatever:shaking:

It's not like he's ever going to hurt the body wheeling. That D27 will probably grenade itself before he even makes it offroad. :D

well dunno the gear ratio but i have a 304 v8 and a 3 speed automatic tranny getting extended brakelines on tuesday and getting my front driveshaft lengthend! wonder what the gear ratio is anyone know????



ohhh and leave my driveway carpet alone :flipoff2:

I think you should stop now and put it back to stock.
Sell it to someone that can appreciate the scout Comanche and then take the money and buy a scout II with 44 F/R and learn with that. They are more common and come better prepared to wheel stock then that Comanche.

It will cost you a lot more to build that into a wheeler then if you just started with a scout II.

And I doubt you will need more then 33's for a while!!!

Do I need to copy and paste this to other boards also?

How many places is this question posted?

This might have something to do with it.

Date of Birth:

well lets not be pussys here why should i sell it???? it has been in my family since the day it was bought and i cant sell it plus my old man wants to make it a wheeler :flipoff2:

What is that, a closed knuckle d30?
D27...
Because it's a V8 Scout it's a CK D30. Same ends as the D27 but D30 R&P. Likely not stamped on the webbing either, like a D27 is.
it has been in my family since the day it was bought ...my old man wants to make it a wheeler :flipoff2:
Better do what daddy says...:laughing:

sooo its a d30 but closed knuckle is it any stronger than a d27:confused: i shure hope soo :laughing: because its going to get a taste of 35 in tires il post more pics this week


hell yeah i better do what my dad says :flipoff2:

D27...

I thought it was a d27 too, before he posted pics, but look again at the center chunk, it has the spring perch cast into it.

you, mr. dumbfuck, give my generation a bad name. I'm the same age as you, plus about 6 months, but I SEARCH before asking dumb assed questions. When these guys give me advice, I TAKE it. I'm willing to admit they know more than me, and it doesnt bother me. Shit, i'm on here to learn. Rarely do I post anything.

Listen to these guys, or at least SEARCH and do the fucking stuff right. I'm tired of seeing your pointless fucking questions popping up on here. Shit, the stuff you ask most of the time, will be looked over on the BB because it's so basic. you want to find out your gear ratio. SEARCH how to find out, and go do it.

and, WTF is up with that spring plate/u-bolt/longassed bolt setup? only have 1 u-bolt, so you used two bolts on the other side instead with a metal block?

dude WTF your from new jerk me off! you probly dont even know what a fuckin 1/2 wrench is from the pimples on you ass :flipoff2: and if you do have a rig your just a rich boy that does no work on it himself or gets his daddy too sooooooooooo.......STFU:flipoff2::flipoff2::flipof f2:

I can see where you get your smarts though... your daddy thought it was a good idea to have you do the SOA on the family jem. :eek:

Maybe the driveway carpet will soak up the blood when it falls on both your heads:shaking: Just have the EMT roll both you dumb fawks up in the carpet and set it on fire. Thats the best we can hope for that carpet:flipoff2:

Cool scout.

I've learned something valuable from this thread. Don't send my kids to public schools in Texas.

Listen young pup, sell the scout on ebay and buy you a cheap scout II. Just like everyone has already told you. It'll save you alot of cash and be more capable. If you actually plan on wheeling it.

I've said it before, but it's a damn shame what you're doing to that Commanche. Just because it's been in the family since new doesn't mean shit. It's sat unmolested for 35 years and now you & your dad want to make it into a "wheeler"? Both of you guys are morons. You are taking a (potential) $10k vehicle and eventually making it into a $200 PIECE OF SHIT. :shaking:

-Gary

Wow, Pirate IH forum of pussies! No wonder I hardly stop by anymore.

First of all, even if that vehicle has 10k worth of potential, it still requires a fawk load of $$$ to get it to that potential!

Second, when did this turn into Binder Bulletin? "restore it"..fawk, whatever. I say cut that fawker up but leave the Comanche decals on there just to piss off all the purists:flipoff2:

He was told that several times back when he got it.

X2 He was told then that the D30/D44 combo wont hold up. They probobly have 4:27s to 4:88s in them now so upgrading isnt an option. AKA your fucked.

I never considered a Scout or an IH pickup worth restoring.
The "rare" scouts seem more like a sticker and interior option to me :)

Evidently you haven't been pricing early scouts recently.

Would you be interested in selling the commanche as is? I'm not <i>too</i> far away.

well im not a international purist and im with scout dude i like to piss people off but if you wanna buy it make a damn good offer ,like your scout/2000 dollars and i might give it up:flipoff2: but other than that lets git the sawzall and fuck some shit up:grinpimp:

Not to be a non purist voice ~ I know I'm on POR ~ but to go out on a limb ~ I'll say take those stock axles off it and get some Scout II D44s.

Think of it this way ~ Keep the stock axles stock, take the drivelines off them as well as the steering parts and stuff them in your field ~ I mean all TX people own a field right? ;)

Anyway, then put some good shackles and bushings in the springs and hangers, then put the Scout II D44s in there in a SOA configuration and run it like that.

It'll give you some lift to fit 33s. For 35-36s get some Mr. Scout lift springs. You can have a 'wheeler' and not cut up your clean commanche. Then, if you want to return it to stock and sell it for ubber amounts of cash ~ all you have to do is put the stock crap back on it and sell it. No one will fault you for having put shackles and new bushings into your scout.

Problem solved.

i could do that but i cant find a scout II anywhere in texas :( im not going to sawzall anything of that matter but i do want to do some light wheeling in fact just got the driveshaft and brake lines lengthend today :grinpimp:

Be sure the both angles of those rear u-joints are the same. Looks like you should add some pinion wedges to the rear so it tilts up a bit. PM ihojeff, he sells'em.

Notch that crossmember :flipoff2:

Also, I'd consider just running 33"s for now. Maybe used if you can find them.
Ever find out what gears are in the pumpkins? Highway gears are gonna suck with big tires. Don't ask me how I know :p

no dunno what gears are in it with those lil tires it will only go 60 before the motor raps out :shaking: so i hope 4:? gearing so go with 33s for now? i might just do that so i dont grenade the frontend :D sooo make shure the rear u joints are at the same angle :confused: if they arent what happens :nuke: well il make shure that they are anyway because i have a couple shims to tilt it a lil more

DUUUUDE.

Lay down the crack pipe and research this. You should have know all these things BEFORE you even removed the first bolt...


you've made enough stupid threads and posts about this and in everyone atleast a 1/2 dozen folks have said search but you still don't seem to have a clue.



I'm glad I live no where near you.

You must be kidding me. Have you even looked?:shaking:

i could do that but i cant find a scout II anywhere in texas :(

Hell, I just so happen to know where 2 sets of Scout II axles are in my garage that's only a couple states away. 1 of the sets is even locked F&R with discs on the back.

1200 bucks if you come pick them up. :flipoff2:

Anyone else need them that price is negotiable. :D

locked disc-brake'd pair of axles, that a pretty good deal ~ wanna sell them?

The rear is actually still under my Scout pending me getting off my ass and getting my 14 bolt under there. *I* do want to sell them, but I'll have to get back to you on that. :p

If your looking for stock axles I could part with mine off my 74 Scout II. I am going to be swaping in a dana 60 front and 14 bolt rear. Disk brakes front but I think both axles are open. Good shape and cheap.

well fuck 44s i have a d60 front off a chevy and a 14 bolt rear but im fixing them right now till i blow my front and rear on that scout im not going to put them in, :shaking: but as i see it lets see how strong that d30 really is :flipoff2:

Got a pair of k5 axles that I took out of my scout. Both locked. 12-bolt and 44.

Front has been cut n turned. southeast corner of the kansas.

how much do you want for them???? and il meet ya half way if its a good price, ohhh did they come out of a scout II or an 800:confused:

:(

This shit should be on BB :mad3: :( :mad3:

Scout II. I'll trade you the commanche for them.

:flipoff: thats all i can say about that trade :shaking: how about your scout for mine:confused:

READ GAWD DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah he said that he would trade me those axles for my comanche:shaking:
well other than that im getting my exhaust done this week:D two cutouts with dual mellow glasspacks

:flipoff: thats all i can say about that trade :shaking: how about your scout for mine:confused:


My scout is in pieces right now, frame is sandblasted and black. Body is seperate. I am in the process of doing it right, ala. 1-Ton big block. It would be beoned your ability to complete imho but sure, come get it we'll trade!

yeah he said that he would trade me those axles for my comanche:shaking:
well other than that im getting my exhaust done this week:D two cutouts with dual mellow glasspacks


Cut and turned rebuilt front, with aussie in the front and lockrite in the rear. bolt ins for scout II.

There are several scout II's in j/yd's up here. one's even RHD.

well hell how much for em:confused: i have a couple 9in ford rearends if you want to trade also have a dana44 frontend off a 77 ford f150 that goes with one of my 9in R,E oh and a rockwell axle layin around

I don't fuck around with 1/2 ton shit and a rockwell isn't really where I am taking this project right now. the front r&p and probably the carrier will need to be replaced. along with new bearings. If you are seriosly interested in the scouts or my axles I can put together some numbers and also put you in touch with the owner of the junkyard. they are reletivly complete. The RHD i am thinking of has PS as well as the auto still in it but some dumbfuck jeep owner thought he could take the 345 out of it and replace his jeep 304 so the 345 is gone. I have a real good running 304 i'd sell though.

Here's my opinion:

Do not ever use Scout II axles. They are set up very :rainbow: from the factory. The zero caster sucks, the gay external hubs suck. you're only bonus is that they have the same 5 on 5.5 wheel pattern that you already have.

Do some searching on here and you will find that the 73-77.5 waggoneer front axle is easily converted to 5 lug via Ford bearing hubs and can be set up sprung over easily enough at an approx leafspring center width of 31.5". This is a perfect time to swap out those fawking stupidily skinny leafs that you have already and put in some common 2.5" wide leafs (Lifted YJ springs seem to be a good choice). These years also have flat top knuckles that you can later on set up for highsteer as money allows.

As for the rear axle, swap the springs there too and stop fawking around and get a D60 housing and cut it down and have some SF ends welded on.

You'll thank me later if you do all of this now instead of fawking around with the garbage springs you have now, etc (Well, then you'll curse my name once you decide you want a D60 front:laughing:)

Try pricing a set of tires from PepBoys if your gonna go cheapassed. They have a buy 3 get 1 free sale going on now. Don't know what tires it applies to.
They are Coopers too :D

My old man put a set of cooper trendsetters on our little isuzu pickup. Hedge thorn poked holes in all the tires, and we finaly blew one up hitting a pothole. Waste of money and rubber that could have gone to interco.

coopers are fucking around.

i have cooper stts on my 96 f350 and i run over mesquite trees and all kinds of shit havent blown one yet! how much do a set of tsls run???

I've got a set of 33" TSL's I'll sell you for 1900 bucks shipped.

33X12.50 15" dunlop mudrovers, used. plenty of tread left, have some slits cut in the tread. 300 bucks plus shipping for the set. although that is a pretty good deal on those tsls. or get in your saturn and come get them. 590 miles each way.

well i have a hookup at the local tire store to get tires at company price and i can get a set of 35 in bfg mud terrains for 600 brand new or 33in cooper stts for 500 brand new :D

Can you put a price on fucking around?

Go with the 35's and put actual, non mall rated axles under your shit, michelin makes a much better tire

Build it once, build it right.

Thats what I am talking about.

I guess you haven't done any research on it then. I have at least a grand in mine so far and that's just the engine, drivetrain, and axles.

Sounds like you don't have a plan, you just want to throw parts at it and hope it works.

Its a 1970 SR-2. Its a customer rig. Pretty much a full on re-build. So far its received new springs, shocks, hardware, new drive shafts, trans rebuilt, new motor, brakes, and fixing a lot of little shit. It will be a sweet ride when its done. Which wil be soon. That pic was before I started on it. Notice my junk is in the rain, customers get the nice dry carport.

Forget the leather seats and do a disc brake conversion ((writeup here) (http://www.binderbulletin.org/forums/showthread.php?t=45700&page=2) and you'll be much better off.

Or, don't do it and let us all know how it stopped after your first stream crossing :laughing:

I have $9,000 into this and I did all the work myself. So you have a long ways to go. But, since your daddys girl, I'm sure he'll help you out.

Ouch.

I have that ones twin, cept mine has the roof rack. Anyway you could post up some pics on the BB of it???
Watch my forum. I'll probably post a few pics there when its done.

Ouch.
No ouch about it. It was the best $9000 I could have spent. I wish I had another 9 to put into it.

I'm not a typical scout guy who prides himself on only spending .75 cents on his rig and bums free parts from dudes in the junk yard parking lot.

I've at least quadrupled what I paid for my T-all, and still to this date I don't (and won't) bawk at what I have put into it. And, just like you, I'm still not done with it.

Just need to get down here so I can work on it.

Come on guys this thread is about some noob with some IH junk that he is about to hack up end of story. Who the fuck cares (on pirate) if it has comanche writen on the side :rolleyes:

It's not so much about it being a comanche, its about him not having researched what he wants to do and what it will cost. I bet he sells it before it's finished.

My pile of Scout is a true POS -- And I bet it is close to $9000.... Get out a calculator, a pad of paper and be honest with yourself (and your wife if you have one...) and I'd wager you have way more invested in your truck than you think. Just start with $1300 for wheels and tires..... Adds up fast.

:shaking:

First off, check your BS math.

I'm not gonna list the entire build sheet but do the math. 5 37x12.5x15 mtrs, new steel wheels, full float 44 rear with detroit-5.13's- custom dutchman chromo shafts-warn drive flanges, 44 front with dutchman chromo inner shafts-warn stubs-5.13's-aussie, custom built T-18, HD drive shafts, Chevy TBI injection, new exhaust system, 160 Ft of 1.5" tubing, all the joints are FK teflon chromoly joints. All grade 8 hardware everywhere, etc... I built the rig in 2.5 months. I didn't shop, I didn't deal hunt, I didn't haggle. If I needed it, I bought it.

I had 2 credit cards with $5k limits. I maxed one and put $4k on the other with the last thousand to cover travel expenses to the con and back. So, I know what the hell I spent.

STFU :shaking:

First off, check your BS math.



No shit, I quit counting at 10k and my Scout is sitting with a 60 under the front, a 44 still in the rear and no floors right now.

I figure $5k per large manilla envelope of receipts.

I just started my third envelope this week.:eek:

Hey Cock Spit. Or Teeny Weeny what ever the fuck your name is. How can you come in here and shoot you mouth off about a rig you don't know? :shaking: Why don't you slink back over to the heep fourm. From where your sittin you can't tell if this rig has a an Atlas and an LS-7 in it. Or if it is powered by the gerbil that just crawled out of your ass. Go away.

I guess if its got a $3k paint job then its no bull shit. But when it looks like shit, it must be shit.

I'm sure he's the same guy that gets the doors blown off his Trans Am by rusty Chevy II's cuz they are sleepers.

Like teenys mom always tells him "its what's on the inside that counts". Or "don't judge a book by its cover". Or "your a fuck tard, go play in traffic".

Waaahhaaaa, your 3-year-old behavior is so intimidating! Give me a break. So you spent 9K to build a vehicle with ordinary parts and you did the work yourself? I didn't just look at it and decide you didn't spend that much. A simple search showed what parts you had in it. If that's what you got into it, you don't have anything too exciting to show for it. I've kept very detailed records of my expenses and I did hunt around for the best deals. I just think it is funny you post of a picture of that beat piece of meat as if the builder of this scout is going to have to spend a lot to get to where yours is. hahahaha Please I've built several scouts in my youth so don't think that just because I currently have a jeep project that I don't know from experience what it takes to build a scout on far less money!

My Jeep friend actually bought me that one...and yes at Targea'. Only the cool kids wheel the ghetto strip malls...

Pre-dirtied hat and everything...I don't even have to work to get it to look cool...it is already done for me. Perfect for when I am trying to portray a HARDCORE or EXTREME look at the mall to the bolt on crowd.

I will be sure to wear it in Naches...

What did you break?

sorry been a while but pics will be posted sometime soon:shaking: but anyways are you all still flaming :grinpimp:

Maybe a little eccentric, maybe a bit flamboyant, but certainly not flaming.

What did you break?

I shit a wheel bearing it appears on the way home...Something about having the correct spindle bearing nut socket makes me want to torque them down...

I can be an idiot at times...:mr-t:

anyone go wheeling yet???? im going sometime this weekend and or tommorro. got the interior pulled and im going to try that rustbullet stuff looks pretty good has anyone used it :confused:

I'll be using that stuff on my 1100 build. It'll go on in only 1 coat :dustin:
Be sure to prep as the directions say. Let me know how it tuns out. Pics!!

.... got the interior pulled and im going to try that rustbullet stuff looks pretty good has anyone used it :confused:

FWIW, I've used it. I prepped according to the directions and shot with an HVLP gun. It went on really smooth, and so far it has held up. I put it down a year ago, and the rig has been on jack stands since then. So no real test of its longevity, but I have pics if you want to see 'em. Pretty much just looks like any rusted metal would after turd polish. I attached before and after, there's a few more in my sig link if you care to look.

Can you get a close-up picture of that liner?

There are two in his link.
That Rust Bullet really looks good :)

Can you get a close-up picture of that liner?

I don't pretend to be experienced with an HVLP gun, but I followed the directions and laid down 2 coats about 15 minutes apart. I attached some pics of metal that was in relatively good shape before I coated it, and a pic of some badly pitted metal. All of it was still solid when I treated it, or it would have been replaced. Observations so far:

I have found it to be a fairly tough coating, resists scratching rather well, but after I slid around in a seat on the base not bolted down, I was left with a few good gashes. I go about 200 lbs.

In one place (pictured), I dropped a blower motor and housing, didn't dimple the metal, but the Rust Bullet cracked like an egg.

My plan has always been to cover it up with carpeting, so the scratching and cracking shouldn't be an issue when I'm done, but if your plans are different, you might take it into consideration.

looks damn good but it cracked like an egg :( thats not good in my case any other liners out there yall would prefer?????? i want something stout as hell:D

How long after painting did you have the issues?

looks damn good but it cracked like an egg :( thats not good in my case any other liners out there yall would prefer?????? i want something stout as hell:D

IMO, if you need to treat rust over a large area, this is as good as anything, and I find it easier to work with than POR15. It's really easy to apply with a gun, though as I recall, RB can be rolled on as well. You can scuff it up and top coat it with Line-X or Herculiner if you need something more resilient, but I don't know of any bedliner recommended to apply directly on top of rusted metal.

How long after painting did you have the issues?

I applied it in April 06, the scratches from the seat base showed up in November, and I dropped the blower motor last week. Plenty of time for everything to cure/set up.

Why is the steering stabilizer bracket attached to the diff cover bolts?


Keep up the work, I've seen and driven much worse. My Scout was a mess when I bought it. Everywhere there was bootyfab to be found.

will do, on the fuel/brake lines :D and the steering stabalizer, I think that it came stock attached to the diff cover

I doubt if you need a steering stabilizer. I had 37"s on my Dana 44 and it drove smooth.
I noticed you have Monroe Reflex shocks on the rear. I hope you got those measured up correctly :)

not road worthy in texas is exhaust ,turn signals, horn and light haha :laughing:

loved moab went for a week I tested it on some #3 rated trails to see what would happen, then stepped up too #4 trails I did Metal Masher And poison spider or something lke that But the dana 27/30 Held up great no problems :D but just in case I picked up a Set of axles A GM 14 bolt and front 10 bolt il post pics of them soon!

Glad you had a safe and fun trip and nothing got broken, thta might be a pirate first:smokin:.

it was great :smokin: hope my rig will keep doing well for me but before i do anymore #4 trails I need a roll cage and propane injection!!! thats soon to come and il keep updated

Looks like you had fun, and that is what counts, but I would be reluctant to call either MM or PS a solid 4... I am sure those trails were a lot of fun in that rig though...

Is that like a 4 out of 10 or what?

Is that like a 4 out of 10 or what?
Yes, I believe Moab uses the 10 scale.

no sir on the one to five scale by the Red Rock 4-Wheelers it was a four:D

Scout 80/800 steering makes me cry its so sad. There is where i would spend the coin next.

no sir on the one to five scale by the Red Rock 4-Wheelers it was a four:D
Wait. Are you saying you took that scout on a 4 out of 5 trail? You have stock axles and no power steering right? No offence, but I don't believe it. If that was the case, you'd have much more interesting photos and action shots not poser shots. I know people say Moab makes wheeling easy, but those pictures don't show the level of difficulty I've seen from other peoples pictures.

Perhaps there is a big jump in difficulty from 4 to 5. :confused:

No the trails he did are solid 3 (IMHO), I have seen basically stock wranglers on both trails. Poison spyder is a fun trail, with a couple of fun wheelbase obstacles, I guess with a short wheelbase double whammy and the far left line on the waterfall. could maybe be a low 4 obstacles...Did you run rock chucker or MIL on Metalmasher, they are both tougher obstacles but optional

Moab is easy and I think some of the trails are overrated. Seems like a lot of the books rate a trail by it's hardest obstacle...

RR4W say "4 Trail either never bladed or badly eroded. Stock vehicles are in jeopardy. Modifications for improved off-road performance and top driving skills needed."

Not trying to knock your fun...just sayin'

after reading this whole thread, you peckerheads who gave this guy crap should be ashamed of yourselves. This guy took a vehicle that is at least 30 years older than himself and rebuilt it as he saw fit and took it wheeling. i envy the dick. I've owned 3 scouts in my life and probably spent less than a week in combined time on the trail. His truck looks great and he's having fun. What more should anyone ask for? I miss my scouts and will have one again someday. keep wheeling and relax!

Hey scout looks good.
Drive er till she breaks......then beef er up.....

You should really reconsider putting any locker/LS in the front axle. The added stress will break shit. (I'm assuming that you have D27 up there)

i think its a closed knuckle dana 30 because where the spring mounts oem is casted into the diff pumpkin but i was just wonderin because my twinstick kit is coming in the mail sometime next week

Think about what you are asking. You want to put in a mini-spool. That locks the 2 axleshafts together. Nothing at the transfer case will change this fact. Your choices are 1) slip a tire while turning a corner and hope shit don't break; 2) unlock a hub

If you really want to put in a locker, do a racheting, a LS or a selectable and you won't have to worry about it.

You may not have hung around here long enough to realize this yet, Q, but any form of logic or common sense you try to impart to this guy... he will just do whatever the hell he wants to anyway. He just posts here to hear himself type... :homer:

Spool the front and report back what breaks first :flipoff2:

Why waste more money on these axles?

You should buy ARB's for front and rear.

Naw, I have been around long enough. It just so happened that responding to this was more fun that listening to the conference call I was on.:shaking:

Limited Slip...

or weld it...

Don't waste your time on a spool, mini spool, etc. on this front axle...

Don't waste your time on ... this front axle...

fixed! :flipoff2:

fixed! :flipoff2:

X2

well guess il just lincoln lock the rearend and leave the front alone till i grenade it :D but other than that just got my propane injection kit in! its a Impco 324 came off an old tbi cheby 350 and bolted right on top of my carb:eek: but will post pics as soon as im done installing it

Nothing wrong with waiting till it blows up.

NOPE dude...not "up-tight"...

Just "experienced"...

The kid is finally learning that by taking suggestions he is saving lots of time and money.

Read through the entire thread and search for some of his previous replies and you will see that he has earned his rashoning of shit...His piss poor attitude and youthful vigor smacked the wind like a nutsack on a chin...

He is learning now...

Maybe you're right. I haven't read his other posts but i did read through this thread.

Well also got me two tops for my scout and a HUGE ASS BUMPER :smokin: one of the tops is off a mailcarrier and its like a truck top but still has the latch and everthing on the back to lift the window,while the other top is a scout truck top both in good condition going to use the truck top to see how i like it what do yall think i should use:confused:

I would use the mail carrier top if it was me.

...what do yall think i should use:confused:

Bleach and a plastic fork..... if that doesn't work a .357 should do the trick. :flipoff2:

dude what happened to the propane kit:confused:

the propane kit I sold wouldnt fit under the hood:mad3: but got the float set on the motorcraft + added some vent tube extenders, and havent flooded out yet even after I stood it on the back two tires haha but yeah sorry everyone for being a nuisence iv learned alot and il listen to what yall need to say~ but im still not going to sell it:flipoff2: and no bleach drinkin

Still no roll cage? That should be next on your agenda...

Do the "fold down windshield" mod..... just make sure you're sitting as tall as you can when you make the mod. :flipoff2:

damn WTF did I do sooo sooo bad to piss everyone off???? shit I like to wheel just like everyone else + im putting different axles will that help???:confused:

Dude, I dig it, even with the stock axles. Its not a serious wheeler, but any 800 lifted is better than a scout II.

Don't worry about these guys ~ And don't try to impress them ~ it just stirs them up more! Haven't you been to high school? Well welcome back. Just be happy with what you have, and do what you can to do it right. Expect to redo things over and over until you get the results you want ~ by then, you'll be one of the group here and people will still give you a hard time.

thanks bud but yeah I have a set of one tons chevy 10 bolt frontend and a 14 bolt rearend and two sets of chevy 52 in long leafs :smokin: hopefully get it done by the end of the summer before I goto work for frieghtliner

...I have a set of one tons chevy 10 bolt frontend and a 14 bolt rearend...

:shaking:

:laughing: The 14B FF, yes. A 10 bolt (even in the 8 lug flavor) is no where near a 1 ton axle. Hell, it's barely a 1/2 ton axle.

But if it makes you feel better, that's what I've got under my Scout 80. Anything is an improvement over the D27.

haha right but its almost a direct bolt in once I put the chevy axles under it just got to get different driveshafts and figure out the steering but it shouldnt be to bad what do yall think:confused: but damn its been the best rig iv owned especially since iv put that motorcraft carb on it

and figure out the steering

Hi-steer.


The MC2100's are great carbs, good choice...

Now call Damian and get a cage ;)

Hey been wheeling alot lately il have pics soon might post some this afternoon. But a quick question on the dana20 Transfer case it pops out of four low I think that the shifter rod dosnt go enough foward to get it in four low correctly? anyone else have this problem with there scouts? any info would be greatly appreciated! thanks

The spring/detent ball section of the shaft is slipping.

Options are easiest to hardest:

1- Buggy cord the lever when in low.

2-Pull the nut holding the ball/spring in the shaft... Clean ball/stretch or replace spring.

3-Dis-Assemble case, pull shifting shaft & clean it.... If worn (ie notch is too smooth) use a grinder to make a slightly better notch.

alright pulled the two nuts but looking in the holes the two little shafts that go in there are blockin the balls/springs do I need to pull them out to get the ball/springs out??? sorry for the stupid questions:shaking:

I like keep it up

Ima thinkin that there frontend will last longer without that there front bumper!


You sure your shifter lever isn't hitting the body when the rig flexes a bit knocking it out of low range?


EDIT: Where can i get a custom carb spacer like yours?

I like my bumper I built it myself I made sure of the shift lever wasnt hitting and the carb spacer was just there for a couple of days till I got a metal one. but thanx for the help yall gave me but my t/c is just worn out and needs a rebuild. but whats wrong with my bumber

Hey been wheeling alot lately il have pics soon might post some this afternoon.

Well?

Well also got me two tops for my scout and a HUGE ASS BUMPER :smokin:

I like my bumper I built it myself....


So which is it? If you like it then who am I to put you down? Its just huge like you said yourself, which means heavy.

dude what happened to the propane kit:confused:

I have been into Scout for over 25 years. I have a very built 73 Scout II. I also have two Comanches. I bought the second one for a parts truck until I saw the Scout in person and discovered gold paint under a bad red paint job (it did protect it though!). I agree that ltd. edition vehicles should be restored to stock - in this case, there were only 1500 max. built. You will greatly reduce the value of this Scout if you alter it and will lose some history in doing so. However, it is your truck and obviously you can do what you want. Less true Comanches out there makes mine worth more.The other thing is that these sites should not be forums to be nasty etc. We all like Scouts and while we may not agree on what each of us does to our Scouts, civility is the language of gentlemen. I would be interested in the wheels on your Comanche since my second lost them along the way.

With all civility this thread is over three years old, please check the dates and read the FAQ. If you still need wheels shoot me a PM I have a couple sets or can point you to a vendor that has them.......... Have a WONDERFUL DAY ......... Search Binder he has a Aristocrat that I'm sure you could buy if the price were right:shaking:

Your first post is telling a well seasoned forum how to police themselves?
