Howdy everyone. We just acquired a 2017 Scout. The original owner only had it out a few times. It's in pretty good condition. I like the additional storage for above the fender and the propane bottle holders that I've seen on here. I'll go through the thread in due time, but is there anything I should look at immediately?

Ensure the tongue has been reinforced.

To second silverback... Check under the tongue for reinforcement plates.. if not CALL Smittybilt and tell them to send you reinforcement plates.

Oh my. No plates that I can see. There's electrical (or maybe brakes) running on the inside of the frame. Do they need to be relocated then?

Can you take a photo and upload it here? I just installed mine a month or so ago. You won't have to relocate anything unless they did some custom wiring.

I suspect I might be looking at the wrong spot. This is the point that failed a few posts up in the thread, is that where the plates go?




This is the frame directly behind it. That's what I meant about the wiring:

Hi Trae,

This post gives you details on how the reinforcement is installed.

One thing to note, my trailer does not have the ground down weld as shown by others in several photos, my manufacturer date was Mar 2017. I am curious as to those that do have the ground down area what their Mfg date was. Just wonder if its all trailers after a point in time or just random...

The plates go directly under that spot you pointed at with the arrow. Can you take an underbody shot? I tried seeing if I had a photo but I don't and I'm not home at the moment.

I'm making my way through the thread (about 40 pages left), I found the SB installation instructions for the trailer tongue reinforcement. I misunderstood originally how the reinforcement is to be done, after looking at the instructions, the plates will go where the pink lines are:

Looking for a fridge suggestion. Other than the Smittybuilt Arctic fridge and the ebrabaek's engel marine are there any other fridges that fit in the genny compartment? I'd like to keep the main compartment for the kids' stuff.

I just got a scout trailer in December and it doesnt have these plates. Did you get them from Smittybilt??

 

[Flatland_XJ]

Nevermind, I just noticed mine has a different tongue all together

 

[Silverback07]

Yeah they changed the design to not need the plates. Out of curiosity, can you show us pics of your tongue.. not the one in your mouth. LOL
