- In this video we dig into getting the Front coil over mounts worked out as well as teardown and truss work on the rear 14 bolt. Come hang out in the shop as we build this rig!! #4x4 #customfabrication #offroad #rockcrawler
'Grind till we can't feel feelings.' That one hits home. Mom passed a couple years ago and it was rough the first while. I still think about her often enough, but it doesn't hurt as much these days. Sorry to hear about your father passing. Scout is looking good.
Thank you and sorry about your Mom. The shop is a good place to clear things up.
Thank you for sharing your skilful work through all these amazing videos. You are a great inspiration to many of us. My sincere condolences to you and your family on the passing of your dad.
Thanks for watching and the kind words!
Levi is an old school dude. I wish i had 1/10 the ingenuity that he does. My scout 80 project kind of revolves around his post.
Shock mounts look great. Keep the builds coming. I’ll keep your family in our prayers. I think of my dad often he would love my projects.
Thank you. Digging the 4BT swap you got going. I have done a couple of 4bts in Scout IIs over the years. I actually also own two 12 valve powered trucks.
Glad your are back at this project. I love scout 80/800 content. Great one man crew.
Thanks for following along!!
Love this video! I have been wondering how to tube out the front of my 80 rockcrawler. Just what I needed to see. Nice work on the coil over mounts! Thanks for the great content and keep it coming. Hopefully you and your family can find some peace and comfort during this time of heartache.
Love to see some more pics when you get yours farther along!!
Love the vids, prayers and condolences to you and the family. Thanks for always being open and easy. Keep the great videos comin'!
Thank you sir!!!
Old Mahindra for the win! scout crawler is looking killer. those front shock mounts are FIRE! Sending lots of love and prayers to you and the family, Dad is watching and he is proud !
Thanks man!! Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.
Just came across your channel today and instantly subbed. Between your fab skills and the Scout this is an awesome project.
Thanks for the sub!! We will keep cranking out content, so stick around!!
Appreciate all your content! Its one thing to get it done solo; its another level to document the whole process. Your videos have been a big help on my 75 scout ii project. Keep em comin’
Awesome man! Glad I can help keep the fire lit!!
Praying for your family. Front coil mounts look slick. Gonna be an awesome rig.
Thanks!! Appreciate the prayers for sure!!
Very nice.
Great video! Love watching the tubing process.
Sorry about your dad, let us know if you need anything.
Thanks man!
Sorry for your loss brother. 🙏🏼
I really enjoy the videos as I'm doing a similar build on my 63.
Why not both? Hat and drum style brakes work fairly well. But for those hairy situations when you have to stop in an extreme angle or steep incline having the mechanical brake for regular stops and the use it and a line lock when you have to park and get out on the trail.
Condolences on your dad Levi.
Thank you!
When I tore down my 14 bolt for my YJ build I popped the diff cover off and saw that Gov locker and was like well fuck there goes another $500. I got the carrier from East Coast Gear along with a yukon locker.
I do not have the cable e-brake hooked up yet but I do plan on running it but I also have hydraulic line lockers both front and rear for digs and backup e-brakes.
Yeah. Only time in my life I wasn't happy to see some sort of traction device. Lol. I am going to do hand brakes in the cab for front and rear digs so T-ing in a line lock will be easy. I am gonna go ahead and give the mechanical brake a try for now. If they let me down I will gut them later.
Levi, when I just put the new late model 14 bolt in the woodbinebeastssii I totally rebuilt the parking brakes and they work 100% better then the caddilac junk on the old 14 bolts. I have a rear line lock too. There are many lengths of GM cables to choose from, I used a 30" center or intermediate cable on the stock scout II parking brake front cable, then two of the shortest gm cables along the frame rails. Theonly thing that sucks is the cables come off the back side of the housing and 1 side hangs low.
Rigs looking great, so sorry to hear about your dad, and y'all being sick. Prayers for ya!
Ps, weld them axle tubes to the pumpkin!
@tomcompoli I am not sure if I am going to weld the tubes honestly. The bridge ties the housing and truss to the bridge. If I wasn't running a truss I would for sure.
@@OldIronOffroad ya, I suppose looking at the pinion guard tied into the truss, it should prevent any tube rotation.
I lost my mom to cancer. She was only 56, as I am now. It never really gets better, you just sort of get used to it.
Lets gooo
Sorry for your loss...Grease every 10 hours, seems like to much work.
Rad build, can you put a 80 drop down windshield on a 800?
There were a few 800s that came factory with a drop down windshield believe it or not. I am sure I could If I could find a decent one to throw at it.
Could you also use it as a daily driver?
So..... probably. The idea for this build is for it to be streetable. With intentions and hopes of going on ultimate adventure this rig has to be able to do trails and complete road miles.
