Hey guys just wanted to introduce myself and say hi. Im coming over from the offroading side of the house but ive come to realize that overlanding sounds more like me. I also wanted to see if there were any other scout drivers out there overlanding. after a quick search i could only find one and the last post on his build was 2011 i think. I always wonder why people choose new rides instead of classic iron for overlanding. granted a new truck may not break down for a very long time but when it does the results can be very hard to diagnose and fix. many systems are tied to one another and the failure of one can cause symptoms in another plus with all the electronics you almost need a electrical engineering degree to work on them. Anyways I drive a 1971 international scout II 4speed 35" rubber. have done an SOA lift + 2 inches on 4" wider track dana 44 axles. 4.56 gears. 345 motor. junk yard tbi conversion. completely rewired with the super cool pickup cab. I have converted it to 4 wheel disc brakes with hydroboost cv drives lines etc. ALL the electronics that can go wrong on this motor i can carry in a 50 cal ammo can and cost 50 bucks at the local yard. i built everything from junkyard parts so i can find spares on gm products across the world or at the local autozone. ill post pics later. anyways if there are any more old iron guys especially scouts i would love to see your set up and learn what kind of mods you have done for the purpose of overlanding.
