Shower head idea I tried a pole with a shower head holder but finally gave up on the complexity and lack of control. I went to the hardware store and bought a spray head/hose for a kitchen sink and spliced that into my shower hose. It's great. I hang the hose over the fabric wall and have a one...

My road and trail ready adult. My '75 IH Scout II was bought by myself from the original owner in '78. Since then it's been all over the roads from the Dakotas to Mexico to California and north. My daughter came home from the hospital the day she was born in this truck. I've made many...

From the old towing rig to the new. Both are '75 Scouts. Ya gotta believe in karma.

And SOLD.... SOLD to the man in the '75 Yellow Scout. The same thing I'd been pulling this trailer with these last 20 years.

I am selling, without enthusiasm, my Pack Mule trailer. I bought the kit from Reinard Helder Manufacturing of Marysville in 1992. He was famous for building trailers and trailer kits to be used on the Rubicon. The basic dimensions of the box are 24” x 48” x 60”. It sits on leaf springs and is...

Rob, as a Scout owner of 33 years I've seen many builds and yours has some of the best fabrication I've seen yet. It does my IH red heart good to see someone bring a Binder to this level. I can't wait to see what this truck looks like when it's completed. Maybe you could bring it out to one of...

My parents ran a small business for over 30 years and my dad taught his four kids a very basic rule for life. "There is no such thing as a good excuse." I later held to a quote from another famous person, Yoda. "No! Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try."

It does work. My dad had one under the seat of our '55 GMC Suburban. It was called a Chuffer and was quite simple. There is a check valve in the unit so that when the cylinder goes to a down stroke the check valve opens and the unit draws air from outside the engine. Internal vacuum, the engine...

I bought my ARB MT-35 six years ago and have never regretted it. When not riding in the back of our Scout it does garage duty keeping the beer cold. After six years of 24/7 the cooling system recently lost its charge of 134A. I called Engel Service and they did not try to sell me a new one, they...

It's good to see some Binder Iron on the site. Here is the '75 that I've been driving since I bought it from the original owner in '79. It still does snow trips, desert trips, mountain trips and IH shows without fail. It has a long list of drive train mods and has proven to be extremely reliable...

Over the last 33 years with our Scout we’ve gone through the same questions as posed here. It was always a compromise and it became an evolution. First was the Scout and two of us in a tent. The daughter came and I built a roof box for more gear. Then later I ditched the roof box and built a...

I cut out wood plates for the handle and the tip of the shovel to hold the shovel in place, those panels are screwed into the trailer wall. I drilled holes through the handle and shovel tip, through the trailer wall, ran a 1/4"x20 bolt through into a tee nut on the inside. I don't use the shovel...

Brine the bird in salt/sugar/spices water overnight. Then to the Webber BBQ for about three hours with a few chunks of alder. The drippings go into a pan to make gravy. After dinner, freeze the carcas to make turkey barley soup in a week or so. A great soup that my mom made every year when I was...

Nice layout. Where did you source the HD sliders?

I've had a Volcano II for a few years. I've grilled on it, set a Dutch oven in it and put a wok on top of it. When finished cooking I drop pieces of oak into it and have a nice warming fire. It sets up and collapses with ease and stores nicely in its nylon bag. It is a simply perfect design and...

Bought an Engle 35 about five years ago and have never had a moment of regret. I've made cold water in Nevada and passed out ice cream bars three days into the White Rim Trail. A little planning and pre-freezing of certain foods and six of us ate great for four days down a dirt road. When not in...

Bad news to post: I drove by the Squeeze Inn yesterday and they've closed. There is a banner out front stating they quit because of the lawsuit and asked not to sue him again. Too bad!

Hello Marcus, I dropped by for lunch today and the mushroom soup was great. I've lived about five blocks away for 24 years so I'll be back to try the chili.

Cactus... my 12" DO sits with the two bosses for the wire handle resting on the edge of the Volcano II. Sitting on those two points the DO hangs inside over the briquets but the legs don't quite reach the briquets at the bottom. You will need to adjust your cooking times and heat loads as the...

I bought one about a year ago. So far I've cooked in my 12" dutch oven and with my wok on it. It did both very well. After cooking I've used it as a fire pit with small pieces of firewood. It did that very well also. When finished it's easy to clean up and store in its bag. Overall it's a great...
