I"m currently building a very similar Scout 800. I can tell you from first hand experience that what they've done is an incredible amount of work, and cost. Makes me feel good to see this. Hope they'll consider doing a '60s vintage Travelall.
I had a 1980 scout II ,with a Nissan 3 litre inline six diesel with the 4 speed manual trans. got 30 mpg all the time. this was in 1990. bought it for $500.00.
@@rperez3883 I still have mine...but the Nissan motor was built for forklifts originally and had poor oil control rings and valve stem seals(none!) A 4bt sits in one of my original Nissan scouts
Old rusted complete Jeep, $500. New frame, rebuilt and painted mechanicals, $5,000. V2203T DI Kubota diesel (no electronic crap, EMP proof), with adapter and overdrive, $6,000. a New body and paint, $5,000. Tires, $1,500. Saving $82,000, priceless.
That is a all some truck, I had own 4 scout 800, I1 of them I drove 7 Years 500 miles a week, I loved my 64 scout, I also owned a 65/66/71, 1 I Just used to plow in winters, The others were Back ups just in case I need it, I sold them 12 years ago. I wish I never sold my 64, It is now all restored like new. A x police officer loved the truck so much, He paid a shop 24 thousand to restore it. The motor I did a rebuilt, Ran like new. I wish i never sold It. Great job on the Scout
amazing work, expensive but amazing! I used to have a 800 with a ford v6 engine here in Greece! I loved that car but i had to sell it do to our crazy tax system!
I know a guy w/ a scout ii all original the thing is a hunk of junk and I love it! it's actually pretty hilarious he's stays in a pretty upscale city so it's all out of place!
I'd love to see more small trucks and SUVs powered by 2.8 litre Turbo Diesel crate engines. Is diesel for everyone? No, not really. But I believe that those who want one for their truck should be allowed that option.
Cool Scouts! Big fan of Cummins but I think I'd spurge on the straight six and suffer the extra 60lbs for the 2 more cylinders for triple the power and a bit less fuel economy. 👊😎👍
sounds a lot quieter than my breadvan 4bt in my CJ7 which I love to death... Just wonder about all the electronics etc that can fail over time.4bt runs with 2 wires yes its loud... and unrefined but there are no computers whatsoever and I dig that
Just curious why on the orange scout you used a 6L80 trans instead of a 8L90 trans that I think would of came behind the Lt engine. It would give a lower 1st gear and more ratios. Just Curious.
Haha These type cars always make me laugh Mostly a waste of engineering The owners rarely go on any true adventures I took my 90 suburban 4x4 to Costa Rica and back from texas and Colorado A lot of off-road driving was achieved in a virtual stock vehicle I still drive it everyday a year later This featured truck is a tarts handbag
unfortunately, I think that green Scout in the background is a much better looking Scout. like, the retrofit one is awesome for actual driving, but aesthetically, the green one looks better
All you guys that are complaining about the price of this Scout II. There is an outfit down in Florida that built one for $275K. That's a stupid price right there.
Talks about it being a utilitarian vehicle then they're like oh by the way it's only like $100k. Yes it's cool and I love the baby Cummins, but I'm sure there are ways to get the price down.
Well, that's because it's an original Scout body. Those things are rare as Hen's teeth. I'd imagine one with a repro fiberglass body would be much less. But keep in mind these are a bunch of custom machines meant to be toys for rich people.
I think you're confused about what "utilitarian" means... It can still be utilitarian and expensive. It doesn't mean budget, or cheaply made. designed to be useful or practical rather than attractive.
@@aldamico8926 They clearly said it was a Beta test. This is now rolling out to the market. The test went well and is going into mass production. I am a owner of a 5.9 cummins the company has a good reputation of creating quality power plants. I would not hesitate to re-power a mid sized vehicle to the 2.8 crate engine.
I think if Dodge comes out with a new Dakota this engine will most likely be in it I'm guessing along with when Nissan redoes the frontier and puts a diesel in it this will most likely be in there too.
Shawn Prickett sadly dodge isn't making a new Dakota though, the Wrangler Pickup was going to become their midsize. Though perhaps you could ask for the Fiat Toro to be brought over and made into a Ram Dakota
Their website makes no mention of this powertrain as an option... I would entertain getting this in a SCOUT II as that is my all time favorite 4wd body.. maybe even gasp with square headlights... wish they would update so we can build and make honest inquiries.
Not to mention, this crate engine, for which they want close to $9000, comes with (wait for it) a WHOPPING 30 DAYS warranty. 30 D A Y S. Just long enough for you to get it out of the crate. SMDH.
Then let the 1% keep buying them. As long as their buying somebody is getting paid to build. Besides maybe in a few years they will get bored and sell it for a somewhat affordable price. Although I'm not sure I consider many new autos affordable.
I don't know if I'd say putting a $9000 cummins crate engine including the ECU and harness is exclusive for the 1%. I want this for my 1992 Range Rover Classic. At about 125k it's just a touch more expensive than a new Range Rover Supercharged
It isn't a "shocker" that people like to ruin what once was cool to make a cookie-cutter ride complete with LED headlights and zero taste. Good thing you got those modern 3-point seat belts in there. Phew, that was a close one, sissy-boys!! Hope you can get your tissue-holder mounted so you can wipe up your dignity.
250lbs is nothing. The 4BT can get the same torque and horsepower as the 5.9. I could understand the 4bt in Dakota is more understandable but no in something like that.
average 25 mpg is crap, and will it meet europe 6 compliance with zero NOx come on get to European diesel standards. my common rail 2.5ltr 5 cylinder Landie 110 Tdi would give over 30mpg from new causing between 75 and 80 mph, as time went on it got better. There are lots of good diesels out the. this is nothing remarkable.
I like the new cummins 3.8 as it gives you more hp, toque but same milage. Bruiser customs made a few jeeps with the new 2. 8 and 3.8 and the 3,8 was a better choice.
This is a very good initiative you are doing: getting restored and custom vehicles

Paul Wicklund how much is that in today's money?
500$ in the 90s is about 1000 today. It wasnt that long ago.
I bet you're still kicking yourself in the ass for getting rid of it. I sure would.
The inline 3.3L Nissan diesels were factory IH engines.

If that's the case you should start your own scout business! You're sure to make a killing offering the same vehicles for 80% less.
One of my favorite old 4x4 with one of my favorite engines. Dream vehicle! Wonderful job, drove around in one with slanted 4 when I was a kid.

Back in the day I had 5 scouts. I rebuilt one and put a 360 just changed the transmission case. This is the restoration i wanted to do.
Awesome stuff. Start custom fab your own scout body and some of the other parts, bet you can get the price down and profit up after a while.
amazing work, expensive but amazing! I used to have a 800 with a ford v6 engine here in Greece! I loved that car but i had to sell it do to our crazy tax system!
I've always loved the sound of a Cummins diesel engine. I can think of many vehicles that would benefit from a 2.8 litre turbo diesel engine. :)
$100,000 for this scout - if you can afford this then you aren't worried about the mpg or cost at the pump!

I want one of these new diesel engines for my 2008 Jeep Liberty KK.
Yea they tore the heart right outta that scout.
Great looking rig.
You guys do awesome reviews
amazing. really diesel stuff
Cool Scouts! Big fan of Cummins but I think I'd spurge on the straight six and suffer the extra 60lbs for the 2 more cylinders for triple the power and a bit less fuel economy. 👊😎👍
...suffer the extra 600 pounds... Cummins inline six is 1100 pounds. Not comfy in anything less than a heavy-duty truck..
2.8l diesel?! YAAAAAAASSSSSS
I would love that Cummings in a 1/2 ton pick-up.
Wow, that must be the new EPA-certified Cummins turbo diesel 4-cylinder. Or at least I heard it got EPA certification...
sounds a lot quieter than my breadvan 4bt in my CJ7 which I love to death... Just wonder about all the electronics etc that can fail over time.4bt runs with 2 wires yes its loud... and unrefined but there are no computers whatsoever and I dig that
Great for some city slicker, where's the duct tape and bailing wire?

Haha

Mostly a waste of engineering
The owners rarely go on any true adventures
I took my 90 suburban 4x4 to Costa Rica and back from texas and Colorado
A lot of off-road driving was achieved in a virtual stock vehicle
I still drive it everyday a year later
This featured truck is a tarts handbag
Well said. Stay true, friend :)
Is Nissan going to build the frontier with the Cummins? I know Roman drove one a year or two ago.
Nice donk!
Who makes the rear bumper. I have been looking almost every day. I love the tire carrier.
impressive
All you cummins guys buy the new 2.8lter and let me have your 4bt 😍
Dana 44 are heavy axles? Very nice resto!
Was that Cummins block one of many cast by international for Cummins? Even though its a Cummins diesel. I H cast blocks for partners.
That is awesome
Why go to the trouble of a crate engine when jeep already make the jk with a 2.8 CRD anyway?
Tell us about the all around disc brakes…?
Size….after market?
unfortunately, I think that green Scout in the background is a much better looking Scout. like, the retrofit one is awesome for actual driving, but aesthetically, the green one looks better
isn't that Sean from Anything Scout?
120k for a scout 2 huh. What a deal. I'll take one.
However dependable and well-built the engine may be, there needs to be places to service the engine, in order to keep it running reliability.
All you guys that are complaining about the price of this Scout II. There is an outfit down in Florida that built one for $275K. That's a stupid price right there.

Roger J there has to be. Unless Jeep is ripping everyone off when selling those chassis, that's all I can think that all that money goes to...

Weary Man Man, come to CO. A lot have minor body rust and anywhere else they're replacing anyway. lol. they're all over here
I think you're confused about what "utilitarian" means... It can still be utilitarian and expensive. It doesn't mean budget, or cheaply made.
designed to be useful or practical rather than attractive.
Roger J agreed. love that cummins is making a crate engine! they can keep the rest. 100k. lmao
For the guys that can't afford an ICON vehicle.
Rich mans toys.Not for the normal everyday working man.
The R2.8L is a reasonably priced crate engine and a good option for people like me with older rigs that need an engine swap anyway.
Bottom line is they only make 50 of those engines who's going to get them can't be for the common man like tfl says they are

"and its got great sound too"
Me: "yeah ok............OH SHIT"
I couldn't do it . There are 1000 things ide buy before I purchased a 125k scout.
This engine would be perfect in a Tacoma.
Where can I buy one....seriously.....
All it takes is lots of MONEY !
What gearing delivers the 25mpg average ?
I'm gonna build the ultimate diesel racer and put one of these engines in a Miata.
I think I'll just take a Jeep, Frontier, Tacoma, Power wagon, etc. and get more luxury, comfort, and power for less.
They are just as good off-road or better.
Not everybody can graduate up to IH.
I bet you that scout will last 2-3 times longer and will have less problems.
wonder how that would work in my gen 3 4runner
do these guys have a website?
Joeys Cleaning Lady yeah. It's Newlegend4x4.com
Their website makes no mention of this powertrain as an option... I would entertain getting this in a SCOUT II as that is my all time favorite 4wd body.. maybe even gasp with square headlights... wish they would update so we can build and make honest inquiries.
Cool vehicle for maybe 50-60k max, but 100k base and 120k premium it's too much.
do you prefer a Tesla Model X?...
Well if I was going to spend that I'd get the model S.
Not to mention, this crate engine, for which they want close to $9000, comes with (wait for it) a WHOPPING 30 DAYS warranty. 30 D A Y S. Just long enough for you to get it out of the crate. SMDH.
Nice vehicles... made for the 1%.
or the people who like to go wheelin
JT Haugk-Lemire made for people who go off-roading economic status has nothing to do with it
Then let the 1% keep buying them. As long as their buying somebody is getting paid to build. Besides maybe in a few years they will get bored and sell it for a somewhat affordable price. Although I'm not sure I consider many new autos affordable.
I don't know if I'd say putting a $9000 cummins crate engine including the ECU and harness is exclusive for the 1%. I want this for my 1992 Range Rover Classic. At about 125k it's just a touch more expensive than a new Range Rover Supercharged
Or for someone who needs a diesel engine for towing.
I need this engine in my 99 Durango
they could be had with a Nissan diesel originally, especially south of the border.
Cummins Steve from motor trend
I want one
The torque rating is a bit low, only 362 Nm
Plastic oil pan?
not for the average scout guy $$$
So symiliar tothe UAZ 469... Even jump seats xd
100,000$$?!?!?
this guy was hesitant to say the 100k price tag.... the icon guy is shameless when he drops the 250k price tag 😂😂
Builds awesome rig, gets mad respect. Mentions the price tag, looses EVERY LAST COOL POINT. :-/ Built for douchebag airline pilots.
Nice granola vehicle...I'll stick to my 18 yr old Jeep Wrangler.
rated HP? ... $100G ... yikes

diesel... YES.. 2.8... sorry NO... too small...
Should of done the 3.9 4BT cummins.
I'd say anywhere between a 3.8 and 4.2 would be ideal.
4BT cummins is 250+ pounds heavier. This 2.8 in a small vehicle will likely be amazing (and will make more power when tuned, of course.)
250lbs is nothing. The 4BT can get the same torque and horsepower as the 5.9. I could understand the 4bt in Dakota is more understandable but no in something like that.
Mopar
Blasphemous. Completely horrible what you did to that poor Scout.
No realistic
$105k for a Scout with a small ass Cummins engine? No, thanks! Go big or stay home. It needs a Hemi. Lol
average 25 mpg is crap, and will it meet europe 6 compliance with zero NOx
