I keep thinking about a toolbox for the RAM, but I really like my tonneau cover. I think you can do both. (Especially if you simply use a narrower box and just drop it to the floor.) BackRack brand racks state all options when purchasing a rack. $$$ to purchase all three pieces though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted December 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 NOS key fob acquired… Jumpin’ Scout antique-bronzed fob from back in the late ‘70s. NOS score from BC. The Tasmanian Devil fob I've had since new for my ‘83 ‘Yota HiLux pickup. My brother still has the matching floor mats, in use in his 2008 Dodge Cummins, with 472k km’s on it. Stuff was built to last! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to ‘house’ the Scout in there, eliminating the hour-long round trip to where it’s currently at. And my bro needs his garage for a while. It is his garage, after all!

sar4x4 Posted January 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 My Xmas prezzie from my honey! I ‘loves’ it! I know, I know, I need to rotate it 180 degrees, the centre is just sitting in place. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted February 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Haven’t been in the garage to work on the Scout. So I satisfied my Scout cravings with mini-Scouts. Saw this full sized beast while touring out Stewiacke way. Mini-Scout underway: More explanation in a moment…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnwalker Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 I haven't built a model since I was a kid. I bet that would be a good passtime / brain vacation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerram Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 That scout in stewiacke is dodge powered and for sale i belive. The model is looking great, that's pretty neat to have the miniature version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted December 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Broke a brake line 20 months ago. Too hard to use a flare tool, etc etc. under the truck. Scout hasn’t moved since! Bought a kit of custom pre-fabbed lines from In-Line Tube, direct fit for the Scout. Great quality! Removed old line in three pieces on the left, new line on the right. Now trying to install it. Currently taking one of the mufflers off to gain better access. The exhaust pipe leading into the muffler was well into the main body, not just into the short inlet pipe…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnwalker Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Wow! How did they ship that line? Must have been a huge box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lines have ‘shipping bends’ if necessary. Bends with a 1’ radius. Box is 4’ x 1’ x 6”. Had 7 different lines inside. Such large radius bends Do Not kink the line and roll out easily. I think I posted a picture at the time of receipt on Fb. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted January 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Been installing a new muffler to replace the one I had to cut off, to get at the brake line, etc etc. Slow but sure…. Thanks for the likes Paul! Lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted January 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 The Scout is more driver than Concurs(?), lol, but I hope (4 letter word), plan (another 4 letter word), INTEND to have it at the New Glasgow car show this summer. And other shows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted January 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 Bleeding the front brakes (including proportioning valve) is a 3 person job. Have to hold open the valve which reduces pressure to the front discs vs. rear drums. (ATM mostly sprucing-up our 35 yr old home……) All good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
