Awesome! Funny how these missed so many people. I didn't know they existed until 2018 and I like old cars!

Awesome would love to see it! I haven't made the NY to LA video yet. Had a lot going on in life but it is something I'd like to get back to. So many great memories 🙂

Thank you! Don't believe everything you hear/see. California is just as fine as any other state in the US 👍

Thank you!

Same as this one!

I wish I still had this one!

I'm interested to see the design!

Ah I was wondering about that. Will have to look into it more. Wondering what the people with Fj40/45 bodies on 80 series chassis are doing to get those engineered?

@@shaunmaluga QLD has some of the toughest regs. Yeah I wonder what the FJs are registered as?

Thank you! I had the original 304 in my 800 in the US and loved it (except the 10mpg). Issue is that you can't really get maintenance parts in Australia so most things have to be imported from the states which equals time and money. Engine swap makes sense to me if I want to tour Australia with it!

Not sure if it was a dealer option or if they are all aftermarket. Mine came with it and was very original otherwise, 1 owner. I had it recovered by a place in Venice, CA.

Thank you! Sad to no longer have it but I picked up a replacement in Australia :)

Make the trip a tax write off! Important International business to attend to! 😂 Would seriously love that. Let’s get planning 👍

Pre cancer warnings too! 😂 Thanks mate, will be along one but hopefully a good one

I think so too! I do think I’ll try get a proper full top. It’s hard to look at it knowing what it should look like, kind of like an uncanny valley effect 😂

Oh nice! Do it, you'll have a blast and meet some great people :)

@@shaunmaluga can you give me an idea what that thing is like driving down the highway is it a pleasant ride or is it extremely noisy and rough riding? I’m just curious.

@@Indeewoods that is a tough question! Compared to a new vehicle it is horrible haha. But, for a 50 year old truck, this particular one drove quite well, especially with the new suspension and airbag helper springs on the back. You definitely fell all the bumps and it is noisy. But I would say quite pleasant cruising up to about 50mph. Once you start going over that the wind noise gets quite loud and as you start getting around 70mph the higher revving engine/fan noise adds to that. I always wondered if it was worth adding either a clutch or electrical fan to it, it might have helped very slightly, but I do think the wind noise is the biggest thing. I found 60mph the ideal to sit at on the highway. I did wear earplugs when driving for longer than 20 minutes on the highway, it get's to be a lot. I have been in another scout that was geared very strangely, but meant it was only revving in the 1000's at 60-65mph. It also seemed to have much less wind noise. Not sure if it had better seals but it did have carpeted floors and the pickup top. So many variables. I'm sure the roof rack on mine added some wind noise too.

@@shaunmaluga great info and makes sense. I used to do those enduro races or demolition derby’s and it’s amazing how loud a car is inside when the carpet and head liner is removed. Sounds like I’ll want to make sure I spend some time and money on that.

They do look great! Not very aerodynamic but great 😅

It's a Front Runner Slimline II, 1425mm(W) X 2166mm(L) with No 4 (170mm) legs

Thanks mate, replied on your other comment but in case anyone else is looking, Front Runner Slimline II, 1425mm(W) X 2166mm(L) with No4 (170mm) legs 🙂

It is

Like my faith in humanity?

@@shaunmaluga yeah nah thats not gunna happen anytime soon

What’re you using for a solution? I’m restoring a 260Z.

Thank you! Just bought most of the individual pieces direct from the suppliers! Front Runner roof rack and storage boxes, Treeline Outdoors rooftop tent, Yakima now own the Road Shower brand and ARB for the awning.

Yes sir, that's Bill's of the Minnesota Scout Club 👍

Yes sir, 304

Awesome! Enjoy it as it is and do some little upgrades as you go!

Nice, that sounds do-able! Hope you can make it

What rust issue?

@@shaunmaluga As I know it, whenever I look up International Scouts (they're my new fascination) Rust buildup and their susceptibility to it, always comes up - especially from the 70s. Did you guys buy it from a great previous owner? I'm new to the channel so I don't know your history with the car, I jus know Rust is a big issue with Scouts from other youtubers

Could have been!

Sounds like he was a good boy!

That he was, miss him every day. Caved in after 7 years(since he passed) and let the wife get a for her dog. We now have a mini golden doodle. He is a pistol for now, but minds weĺl, at least for me and my step daughter, mom, not yet. He will be a good dog on the boat and camping.❤

U bood won't let me edit this.

Grab one before they get too crazy!

Thank you!

Sounds awesome! Looking forward to seeing the result

What did it end up going for. How many 232s are around. Not familiar with the sixs. Straight or v?? I just got a 66 with a 196 4 speed, but it needs gone through. If a six isn't that much of a hassle to put in, why not??

👊👊

Your channel reminds me a little of Go4x4.

Haha thank you! I guess I’m relatively new to RUclips. The more comments, likes, subscribes and shares the more it will get out to people so thank you!

@@shaunmaluga Likewise, I’ve only got 49 subscribers so far. 😆

@@JeepinDownUnder 50! Will give them a watch 👊👊👊

Awesome, yes all the noises! That squeak in the back can be taken care of though 😅

Thanks for watching!

Thank you! This years Harvesters in the Holler is coming up!

Thank you, so capable for something built 53 years ago!

They are Coco Mats! They are custom made to fit, you can get a kit sent out to you with samples and paper to draw your full size template. Ship it back and they make them to size. Expensive for floor mats but I love the look of them.
