It's not a Scout:flipoff2:

It has the heart and soul of a Ford :shaking:

I want to see this guy do the TTC:

How the hell is that van even standing? it looks like its on shitty stilts.


TTC is a joke anyway:rolleyes:

Well, its good to see any Scout bodied rig make the rag anyways. :) I wish him luck.

Maybe some experienced wheelers with really built Scout bodies will enter the next one.

that van is a real waste of coilovers,rockwells, big tires....should i go on

get some.

Hmm I think the driveline with the 460 C6 combo would be pretty good for a weight to power ratio and crawl ratio.:D
As far as the van it reminds me of the gey monster van from the 80's......:barf:

Is that a hint that a certain orange scout, that was once a feature truck, will be applying:D You'd get my vote for sure:smokin:

Could be. Maybe not.:D

I'm hoping that the Longfields will end my axle shaft issues once and for all. I warned him about my rig. Longfield is confident they will hold up for me as long as I don't go over a 47" tire.

I'm also working with a tire manufacturer on new tires that I hope will be THE tire too. I think we may see a new tire champ soon. Testing will bare that out.
I'm doing 9 days in Moab during EJS on these new tires.

There was nothing wrong with your old tires ! It only took about 15 plug fries to close up that gash , on the Ajax Mine run ! :laughing:

funny, i thought of the orange scout when i saw this one. that was one sweet scout. even non-IH sickos liked it. gotta love the FC that's entered too. don't know how it would do competition-wise, but have never seen one built to run.

Yep,bought his old built 44's for my zuk......good guy,vote for the IH:D

Thanks for all the support guys! I am really excited and hoping to make it into the top 10.

My Scout may have the heart of a Ford but its soul will always be IH

A couple things I will be changing since I sent in the application are....

-I will be running Retroteks BOSS efi system
-rear suspension is getting linked
-replacing roll cage
-sorta truggying the back. It might just end up getting narrowed. I cant decide
-chev 205 is getting twin sticks from Northwest fab

Theres so much to do.....I better get my butt in the garage

I just bought a red star so I will post some more pics of my Scout as soon as it comes threw

I took my c6 in to day to get rebuilt. Figured while its out might as well have some work done to it.

I wish my red star would show up!! I wanna post some pics!

you can post pics with out a red star...

It doesnt even bring up the option for me to post attachments under go advanced. Is it because im a newb?

Cheston is a good guy, I think he has a pretty good chance of doing well at TTC he is a really good driver. And to everyone who things he isn't a purist cause his trucks got a Ford motor to say the least it was an agonizing desicsion for him, It will always be IH no matter what he puts in it plus its a traveller I mean really how many of those have you even seen in real life.

Heres some more of him

The last pic, did you drive through the obsticle or is it a Poseur pic?

I had every intention of driving through it but about 2 feet farther in....she started going over. I was there with 2 Suzuki sidekicks, neither of which could have pulled me out because I would have had to get dragged out on my side so I backed out of it and made a poseur shot. Im going to try it again once the rear is 4 linked. Im just not getting enough flex out of the leaf springs. Thats a fun trail!

I hope everyone noticed the IH logo cutout in my beadlocks! Got them from DIY4X.com. Kurt does great work!

No offense, but why do guys do a major rebuild right before the competition?

Well, I see a line that didn't require a lot of flex. It appears you took these pics on Pritchett and Mini Moab? If your in Moab during EJS and the week after, look for an Orange Scout. I'll be there testing a NEW 42" tire for a Certain tire Manufacturer. I would like to test the tires against an Interco tire and we'll see if you have TTC skills too. :smokin:

The last pic is actually up in Idaho around Rexburg. There are plenty of lines to make it through that obstacle. Both Suzukis drove through it. Neither with the wheels 6' off the ground on one side though. There has only been one rig that has been through that obstacle with full width axles. Needless to say it went through dang near on its side. It drug the roof the whole way. I am planning on going to the Safari but I will be heading home Easter Sunday. I will keep an eye out for an Orange Scout. I will be staying in the Moab Valley RV park. Hope to see ya there!

I dunno......good excuse to give the wife to throw a bunch of money at the rig????


That list is stuff that was planned for this winter anyway. I have been bending leaf springs every time I go out but Im finally out of spares

Well, I see a line that didn't require a lot of flex. I

If you are in fact talking about the pic with the lava rock in it. Only one truck on full size axles has been through it. He bent his frame. Its just a really tight squeeze. A stock YJ can make it through the squeeze part but a lifted YJ can't

Its a good obstacle

And this one?
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n272/SSII/Wheels%20up/az1.jpg

your pic doesnt have a 7' high wall on the opposite side that your climbing???

That obstacle in Idaho is a small canyon about 25' long and it gets narrower the farther you go in. I will try to find a better pic that shows the WHOLE thing...not just the first 5 feet

http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n272/SSII/Wheels%20up/az1.jpg

interesting line choice.

When is EJS? I'm going down the end of May....
I know that spot on Pritchett. I have video around here somewhere.

:D
Drove through that one and others that are tighter. But since I can't wheel to save my Ass, It did get scraped up a little.. :homer:

Also that spot is tighter than it appears. I have NARROWED axles. 7-3/4" narrower.

interesting line choice.

Yea, its called scrape the new paint off the new Fiberglass fenders and inserts to save the new top. :p

Cheston, hope you make it in, I would like to see it done.:)

thanks man! Im keeping my fingers crossed!

Are you at liberty to say what tires you will be testing?

Nice pix guy's......



Good luck with the TTC :smokin:

thanks man! Im keeping my fingers crossed!

They are supposed to be here tomorrow. One other and myself will have the only 42" set. They also will have larger tires too. When they make it in, I will post pics.

Ok Thats what I thought. Do you have any idea when the 44" is coming out? Thats the tire I have been holding out for.

44S? How about a 47"?:D

I don't know for sure. These tires were specially made for me to run at Moab and won't be out for a bit. I would think it would be at least another few months for the others. You know Bobby Long warranties his axle shafts for up to a 47' tire. 300m shafts :smokin:

Spent the weekend in Hollister and wheeled all that shit, Like normal:shaking:

I dont think they build the courses until the week of the comp. Is it still a fun place to wheel with normal circumstances? Feel free to post some pics!

Dan, you must not know much about Hollister.

Only from what Ive seen in the TTC videos. Ive never made that long of a road trip before. I always just hit Moab for road trips because its only 4 1/2 hours away. I think Hollister is about 12 hours

Damn Mike, I forgot this is normal to you:smokin:. http://www.youtube.com/user/ihonorth Looks like good times, how deep was tank trap? Did you have to drive over Josh to get out?

That just looks like good ol fashioned FUN!!

I ordered a Black box from Northwest Fab. I am EXCITED!!! Also got the 3 stick shifter to run the box and my 205. Spendy stuff but I think its well worth it

Got my vote!

Thanks!

Your votes have to be in by Mar 31st to be counted so my guess is they need to be in the mail by this thursday the 27th. Dont forget!

Thanks again for everyones support

Yours was the easiest choice from the pack!

I wish it was that way with everyone :D

You got my vote as well. Good luck man!!

My guess is tomorrow will be the last day to get votes mailed off. They have to be there by the 31st so it depends on where you are. I just went and bought all the mags I could find left on the shelf.

Thanks for all the support! Now comes the waiting game. :confused::barf:

go to cali and represent the farm equipment well!!!!:beer::beer::beer::beer:

I got the call from Fourwheeler yesterday! I am number 12 so Im an alternate!


I am so excited to be invited to go. Even if I dont get the chance to compete it will be once in a lifetime to even be there to watch and I should be able to run most of the events after everyone is done.

Maybe a couple people will flake but I doubt it this year. Fourwheeler will be posting the top 12 in a few days so check there to see whos in.


Thanks a million for everyone that voted for me! I do appreciate it. I will get a ton of pics of the Scout there and post them up.


Hollister here I come! :D

go get that shit cheston :D

Congrats! Its on my list of "somedays". Hope you get a chance to run, maybe a couple fords will break down so you can get in. Oh wait.......460/c6...lol. Best of luck to you!

Well, if one of them flakes out, 2nd place will be the best the rest can strive for.

Good luck man! I sent in 3 votes!

I decided to just run propane rather than the TBI setup I was looking at. I ordered the kit from GotPropane.com yesterday! I will be ordering a composite tank in a couple days. Im pretty excited about it and I will post up results

plus its a traveller I mean really how many of those have you even seen in real life.

i have one :D you guys should see a thread about it sometime in the near future

congrats on being invited, and good luck, esp if you make it in...we need a scout TTC champion

It's not a Scout:flipoff2:

It has the heart and soul of a Ford :shaking:

I guess my F250 isn't a Ford since it has the heart and soul of an International?

Ive been thinking about changing the Ford emblems on my Powerstroke to IH emblems for that same reason :D

this link has a door decal that says T 444 E with the "Diamond Road" logo http://www.bellaphotographics.com/International/

My propane kit from GotPropane showed up yesterday. It looks sweet!

I cant wait to get it hooked up and running.

I will keep everyone posted.

Cary is a good guy. He helped me out a lot and spent awhile on the phone with me. I wouldnt hesitate to order another kit from him. Shipped the kit out really fast to!

Thanks Cary!
