So they 'revealed' the new Scouts today, and I'm pleasantly surprised... it is in no way just a badge engineered Rivian like I expected it would be, but seems to be a heavy duty purpose built offroad vehicle, and may be the first EV that can actually work as a long distance overlander or handle...

This thread documents my build of an expedition vehicle from a 1986 Isuzu Trooper Turbo Diesel with an 85 horsepower c223t engine and a 5 speed manual transmission.
