How have those Dana 44's held up to all that horsepower + the extra shot of NOS? (said over 2 years ago by Rich Nelson).
I will get some more pictures up soon and the axles, well I need a Dana 60 in the rear. I tend to tear off yokes often. I got it down to 12 mintues though and $65 bucks! :) (said over 2 years ago by Brian Osborne).
Also with the go juice, I cant keep up with shifting, need to go to an auto or set the nos up different!

Thats crazy, I think your's is the first and only Scout I have seen with NOS. You should go with a GM 700R4, dang good auto, although the NV 4500 is an awesome tranny too. (said over 2 years ago by Rich Nelson).
Yes, we def. need more pics! (said over 2 years ago by Rich Nelson).
Love it with top off oh and more pics. (said over 2 years ago by Rob Gojkovich).
I love the paint job! do you remember what colors (numbers from paint can) you used? (said about 1 year ago by Quinn).
Brian...I was the original builder of the that Scout and it is good to see her in good hands. It looks a little different now than then...but still sweet. Thanks for posting it up! (said 6 months ago by Amanda).
Well the body is about the same, many updates since then, just got the new motor back today, had to update a lot of the electrical since the Ammeter gauge was left hooked up under the dash when the new gauges were put in. New t-case now too, still Atlas t (said 3 months ago by Brian Osborne).
Quinn - I do have the paint code for it, it took awhile to match it up but I do have the paint. I will dig it up and post it up here! (said 3 months ago by Brian Osborne).

If I'm not mistaken, I have seen this rig for sale on eBay a couple of times. Nice Scout, but we need more pics. (said over 2 years ago by Rich Nelson).
