That is a nice looking rig, keeping the factory look with the white spoke wagon wheels...I dig that. Nice work on the Scout, and post up some more pics! (said over 2 years ago by Rich Nelson).
Thanks alot. I went with the white spokes to save money originally. I was gonna replace them but they kinda grew on me. I'll try and get some better pics up when I find them. (said over 2 years ago by Dereck Webb).

Good looking scout. Looks and sounds like you've done it up the right way. Check out the bumpers from Anything Scout. They seem like they are built very well, but, if you know how to fabricate you could save alot of cash. (said over 2 years ago by Edward J. Lobrigo).
