Lets try this again, shall we

And the new rig

Something like this in the end, but a LOT less pretty, more trail rated

Awesome, on both counts!!! Subie in the dirt, and the project International.

My Granddad had an International Travelall for many years, I loved riding around in that thing. I was very young at the time, but it seems like it was pretty bombproof.:ebiggrin:

Haha, thanks

I hope to have the Scout up and driving around in a couple weeks, if I can get all the kinks worked out

I will have a pretty good sized update later tonight.....

So, the wife is away at work tonight, my daughter is enthralled in Kid Netflix learning her Spelling, and my loyal pup is by my side, as always. I have the perfect time to work on Rusty

I have some goals for tonight, and they are...

#1- Cut fender well's to fit my "new" offroad wheel/tire setup

(More on said setup later)

#2- Install newly machined hubs onto Rusty, along with the new wheel/tire setup.

#3- Drink 6 pack of Favorite Beer (Technically already started

)

#4- Install newly acquired oil catch can.

I need my buddy to come over with his cutting wheel in order for the #1 subject get finished, but I hope to do the others as the night goes on. In any case, I am getting things accomplished

Looking forward to seeing this project of yours as it progresses

Well that didn't work out quite like I planned, lol. I ended up spending the entire night cleaning the garage, re-organizing, etc. I did manage to find all of the parts needed for my 1.2 Turbo build, which is a good thing since I had thought I threw out a couple key pieces. I took a bunch of pics though, and as soon as they are loaded onto my Mac and Flickr I will share them here

PICS!!!!

Just for laughs

More will come I am doing a ton of stuff today and can't stick to the screen all day

-Jamie

Cañon Carver · May 6, 2012

I do this with my other build threads, just tid bits to come/ try out in the future..

6x14 bias ply tractor tire

25.8 overall diameter means I can easily fit them under my wheel wells

(I SHOULD be able to fit up to 28 inch overall diameter tires after trimming)

Cañon Carver · May 7, 2012

Well, I ended up going camping this weekend, but left Rusty home

I was uncertain about the area that my buddies had picked out and decided not to bring him out just yet. I now know though that the area is absolutely cake for Rusty, a lot better off than the last couple trails. Possibly next weekend I will take him and my pup out there

Here are some shots I took of our little spot though...

Trail to camp site...

Camp

Climbing Rock (King Rock)

My Site

Basics...

I took a couple shots of Rusty to show some small progress being made

I have been trying to spend about 30-45 min with Rusty every night in order to speed along the build. My first goal at this point is making the Justy rust free. I have been grinding away at rust every night, and slowly I am seeing good progress

Before

After

Little rust spots cleared up top. Bottom should get worked on shortly.

We also had a pretty sweet Moab bound rig that stopped by, so I took a couple shots

Rusty & 2012 Dodge RAM 5500 "Yukon"

The owner has basically taken a brand new dually RAM 5500 Longbox, lengthened the bed, Had the dual axle converted to single, 4" suspension lift, 6.7 Cummins diesel with full EGR delete kit, 4" exhaust, Bully Dog tuner AND complete one-off pop-up camper made in Alaska and shipped to us for install. We are waiting for the rear add-a leaf kit to level it out with the new camper load. Pretty wicked ride I have to admit.

Thats a sweet ride alright

But how does he see where he's going with that wheel sitting on the front of it

Mr Turbo

NachaLuva · May 11, 2012

Great pics, love that track. Looks like some articulation would be needed... :biggrin:

Yeah, not sure of that big wheel out the front. Certainly wouldnt be legal here lol

Are you just looking at this or is it going on for bogs you might be expecting lol

It really isn't that bad once you are behind the wheel. The main thing is remembering that it is out in front when parking, moving around

I am pretty much just looking at my options for an aggressive 13 or 14 right now. I found some pretty good tires today on Tire Rack that I may order in a couple months

That trail is pretty easy actually, but it does make the Izuzu Rodeo we went camping in have some trouble

My other buddy in the passenger seat kept antagonizing the driver saying" Jamie's Justy would have been there by now", lol. It was a fun trip

-Jamie

Cañon Carver · May 12, 2012

I took a bunch of shots last night, no off-roading though

Maybe this weekend

I also became a Contributing member today, and I ordered up Rusty's first sticker

-Jamie
