My scout build...

[ihscoutlover]

Justin, excellent job. If I could build a jig like whats holding up the body for a Scout II/Terra/Traveler, I would start on my own trucks. The work is simply awesome to see. By the way, is that a Lincoln Welder??

All I can tell you about the wheels is that they're aluminum 15x10's and I found them on one of the offroad forums for $100. The tires are trxus interco STS 32x11.5's $300 brand spankin new on craigslist.

I really feel your pain here Justin...going through the same thing. Its easy to think body shops charge way too much for this work until you start doing it yourself. I have come to the realization that they do it way too cheap. Lol!
