5X8 V nose conversion begins!

[Crazylegs]

Today I picked up my trailer that I ordered from the factory last month. I am very happy with it!











Started insulating today and moving battery to the short tongue.

Hope those step can be removed or fold up tight if you are going off road very far hope to see you down the trail

Crazylegs, that is a nice setup. Are you planning on taking the trailer off road? I too have a 5x8 and use it as a base station. I pull it with my FJ.
I'm looking forward to following your progress. Good luck!

This will be a base camp rig, not an off-road rig. The main use for this trailer is to help accommodate my disability when I am camping with my boy and the scouts. We camp every month of the year and this will take the edge off those winter nights like this one last winter.

Yes, the step folds up. My family and I love to go to Moab Utah and do the tough rock crawling trails. I often drag my bumper on rocks. I would not want any kind of trailer on most of those trails.

You have an open canvas, enjoy.

Love the Jeep. Here's my Jeep on Steroids (aka. SCOUT II)



I hope to be using it as a tow vehicle soon....

Welcome aboard!

Nice looking old scout. My dad had one when i was a kid. I think that got me Hooked on Dirt and rocks.

Thanks!

I have had this since I was in high school but it sat at my dads for many years (long story). I brought it down here to Hoosier land two falls ago and am working to get the ole girl up and running. My buddy here in the Indiana chapter just bought a '78 and we went to the International Harvester Scout Nationals in Ohio last fall which I hope to do annually. I am still surprised how close it is in length to a CJ and thanks for the comp's.



Keep us posted on your build.....

P.S.

That JEEP & trailer combo is BAD @$$

Looks great, looking forward to what you come up with.

Man what a view!



If your going to sell that sealed battery box please let me know I've been looking for one.

NICE rig!

You're rollin' now.

Thanks a lot- this looks a lot like what I'd like eventually, only I'd probably order it without the bat box and with insulation already done (like Gonefishin we live in a very rural area, have somewhat limited skilz and even more limited time, and my marriage + sanity is worth having as much done @ the factory as possible).

Do you have a bead on how much it weighs with the extra height?

LOVE the scout!!! My dad has one, and it is beginning to rust. He bought another scout body off of someone, and he just has not had the time to change it over. I sure hope one day he gets to. He's 78 now, and acts like a 55 year old. He bought the scout brand new when he worked for International in 77
PS- also love all the dive references.....I'm a rescue diver!!
