Hmmm.. well, mine's pretty bad, and the ass end is the most fawked up part.. the passenger door still opens, which is more than I can say for the tailgate.. so does that make it "bad ass"? Do I win?

My other Scout was Ugliest Truck at NWBRU two years running now.. the F*'d up one was runner up both times. <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0">

Playing in Moab last week - no, I didn't stop to pose - I had to turn the hubs in because the rear tires were rubbing too badly. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> This on a strictly "sight seeing" day..

I am going to try for top truck, the next event that they have, I will have 44s and a 454 motor by then. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

[Shadow man]

Here's mine. Got the tank out building a stainless steel one. The N2O needs a dedicated fuel system, So build a new tank for an extra fuel pickup.

ShadowMan, do you have rear-steering on that thing or is your axle not bolted under there? Oh and the Scout looks gnarly.

[johnnyx]

Is that a dedicated tank just for the NOS (one small tank of race fuel), or just a secondary fuel pickup for the aux fuel supply for the NOS (the stock 5/16" pickup is too restrictive?)?

Here is mine it does pretty well,

[Shadow man]

Yea Dingo its rear steer, A 70. Tom the stock tank has only one pickup tube, at least mine does. Need two lines one for the engine, {1/2 inch} and another for the N20. You need a seperate fuel system for the n20 so you can tune your fuel delivery other then just pilling it. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

I wanna know about the cage and the lift? More importantly what springs are those snoopy?

The cage was a custom creation of ours. We started with the standard 6-point cage and added CB bars, Seat Bases, Frame tie-ins, and overall crazyness - I mean Beard Racing Seats w/ CROW Ent. 5-point harnesses. The whole contraption ( with full Winch bumper, rear bumper and carrier, & RockSliders) was then custom powdercoated with SilverVein w/ a gloss clear coat over it. I think it came out ok.

This rig happens to be project 4 on our Extreme Scout Buildup 2K and all the pictures can be found via a secret URL: http://www.dandcextreme.com/pro4

Snoopy springs - They are stock 4-cyl 80/800 springs. Check out the Beater Buildup on my website for info on Snoopy

[scouter77]

I'm sorry I meant what springs are on the orange one? I have a sII and am collecting parts for going soa and still pondering other ideas... I saw they are rancho but what for? I also saw they had some type of shackle extender at droop right? That cage looks SAAAAWEET! I was laughing at some pics too like the guy's ass while blowing out candles. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

[TERRA-IZER]

I believe the orange one has 2 1/2 Rancho springs, spring over, reverse shackle and catilievers front and rear.

They are Rancho rs820s - a 2.5" lift spring for Scout IIs. I can get them if you want a set. The shackle extender is really a cantilever.

35x12.50 SS TSL/SSR - the Rancho suspension actually flexed quite well. I was impressed. I'll see if I can find a picture

I'll agree to that. Pictures RARLEY do any obstical justice, I've seen pics that people SWEAR were imposible, but from the pic it looks like a meandering trail or a small rock in the middle of a trail. I got a couple of a major (45º+) hill climb, that looks like a walk in the park.

Have to dig around and see if we can get any better pictures of that rock.....

O-ya, and its usually pretty slimy as well.

This one shows the rock pretty well I think. This is back when my truck was basically stock, vs the small modifications I have on it now. They were climbing the hole on the lower side of the picture. They claim it is the *harder* line <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">
