Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to check out our Scout. This is my daily driver and do-it-all rig. It sees alot of trail use as you'll see from the pics I post. I also use it as a hunting vehicle. I can't really call it stock because there are alot of modifications I've done but at the same time it's not a wildly modified truck either. It's too bad IH quit building these in 1980 because they built a helluva 4x4. I've wheeled with the Sonora Desert Scouts club and was the only stock height Scout in the group. Everyone else had 3", 4", 6" lift and no less than 33" tires. Mine with 31" tires and stock height went everywhere the others did. (And there were lots of BIG rocks to negotiate with). Well without further ado lets get to some pics. (After the mods list anyway).

Note: I have a teenage son who likes to check out the lowriders and other custom cars here. He signs alot of guest books and gives alot of ratings. He appreciates the feedback you guys give on our pages. Likewise I appreciate the positive feedback on our vehicles. The messages we've received in the guest book just proves we all have a common interest in the automobile, whether it's a lifted 4x4 or lowrider or musclecar etc. and can appreciate each other's work.
