    On the lid side of the box there is a small plate that is held by a screw. Mine would not allow the plate to be adjusted far enough up to make a tight latch (due to the curved bottom). So, I took the plate off and moved it to the other side of its mount and screwed it in from the opposite side...

    "Yoshi" - 2005 Limited Build & Adventure Thread

    We have a 2004 that I bought for my daughter to drive, and it has the lame looking all blue color. It reminds me of some old nentindo game boy lol. I like the more colorful version as well.

    Thanks, man, I take a look at it and see if I can get something together before out trip. So many things to do still and it's getting closer. I need an extra one of me to divide up the work, lol.

    Ah, ok. Well, I guess we'll make due with it as we have been. Thanks for the info, man. I guess if I had to I can barrow the smaller ones off my small smittybilt RTT. It wouldn't be perfect, but it would at least give extra support between the scouts bars for this trip.

    I've tried looking back through the pages with no luck, but does anyone have the part number for additional support bars for the Smittybilt XL RTT? We've just been using the 2 that came with it, but I'd like to order 2 more before our next trip. We'll be out for roughly 3 weeks, so I'd like to...

    You could probably save a lot of effort and just stuff some rags in between the mattress and where the velcro flaps down. As of yet I haven't had any issues with mine in that regard.

    It could just be condensation from warm days and cooler nights. But yeah, it would be better if it wasn't holding it in. I'd like to do side boxes on mine, but I carry a kayak on each side for many of my trips. Mine stays covered 24/7 unless it's in use or being washed/serviced. Makes me wonder...

    Gen 3 Intermittent Passenger Door Lock

    I know you're speaking to the OP, but in my case it's not all that cold most days, and we got the Montero when it was still warm and it was already doing it. I have a 97 Z71 that gets sluggish in cold weather, but the Monteros issue is constant.

    Gen 3 Intermittent Passenger Door Lock

    I recently bought an 04 limited for my 16 daughter to drive, and it has the same issue on the passenger front. Every once in a while it will work but most of the time it doesn't. It always has some movement, but seldom does it move far enough to lock or unlock the door. It's the same regardless...

    Matt is who I emailed. He finally answered my second email. According to him he was gonna mail a set out to me that day or the next, so we'll see. 98% or my dealings with them have been perfectly fine, but here and there I have to step up the contacts or I'll just be stuck in limbo. I get it...

    Must be nice. I posted the message here about there being an issue and I still haven't gotten anything from them. After waiting over 3 months, I sent an email, and they didn't even bother to reply to it. Sent another one tonight, so we'll see. I think I'm to the point that if I have to call them...

    This is what I did. harbor freight has them on sale most of the time. I added cinder blocks to make it a little taller, and put cement in the holes of the blocks and set anchors in them. There is enough room that I put a set of saw horses behind the scout and put my other RTT on them. I also...

    Mine is Jan of 18. It has the ground welds, but too new to have any cracks yet, or it may never crack for all I know. It did come with the updated kitchen drawer. I received mine and put it together at the end of July.

    Smittybilt Scout Trailer Reviews?

    When I looked at my scout, it looked like it was welded and ground flat/smooth. I plan on doing something just for peace of mind. My thought is that maybe trying to make it nice and smooth may have taken too much material away, combined with perhaps too thin of wall for the load on that area...

    Smittybilt's customer service has always been good in my experience. Please let us know what they say. When I get a chance I want to sit down and write something as well. More than likely though, I will break out the welder and see about preventing this with the current tongue. The main issue I...

    Hey guys, I've been popping into this thread off and on for a while. I finally pulled the trigger on a scout back in July. I really like checking out what everyone is doing with their scouts. I just saw these pics on facebook this morning, and thought I'd post it as a heads up. It's not my...
