How is the re-manufactured engine from Jasper's treating you? I have one too and had to spend $1000.00 dollars fixing some of the problems with it because they would not stand behind their warrenty. (said over 2 years ago by Eric Reid).
That front bumper is great - can you tell me who made it? (said over 2 years ago by Eric Reid).
Last question - can you tell me what kind of gas mileage you are getting with your 345. (said over 2 years ago by Eric Reid).
Haven't had any problems with the engine. The mechanics that did the work checked and re-checked everything. If there were any quirks; they've been corrected. A & E Offroad (don't exist anymore) in Greenville made the bumpers. I showed them pics of what I (said over 2 years ago by Christopher Herman).

Thanks Christopher - that is pretty good considering the size of the tires and gear ratio. (said over 2 years ago by Eric Reid).
I may have over-estimated on the mileage. More in the 6-8 mpg range. (said over 2 years ago by Christopher Herman).

Sick Scout, but man you should invest in a better camera. (said over 2 years ago by Rich Nelson).
It is a7 mega-pixel. Don't understand why pics look like crap. (said over 2 years ago by Christopher Herman).
Great rig, clean and simple, looks real good with rag top. Your camera sucks! (said over 2 years ago by Rob Gojkovich).
Nice scout, I like the orange paint. If you added fender flares and ss black grill and tail gate cover that would look sick!! (said over 2 years ago by Thomas Simpson).

That is one bitchin' hot motor, go international power and now go crush a prius!! (said over 2 years ago by Rob Gojkovich).
Thanx. Engine went back to Jasper for warranty work. Excessive ring clearance. Super clean now. Will get some clearer pics up soon. (said over 2 years ago by Christopher Herman).
So many people keep the IH red for the engine. Wanted something different (said over 2 years ago by Christopher Herman).
