I have 3 scouts watching this video reminds me how much 4X4s have improved since the 70s. I love them but it's like riding a mountain bike circa 1985 vs a 2024. A Subaru would have less trouble on this trail
Of all vehicles I have owned or ridden in, my 78 Scout Traveler was IT!!! DIESEL, 23mpg in 4wh, 27mpg in 2wh. Drove it south from Alaska to Arizona in mid winter, no jumper cables, pliers, or spanners! From Tok until Prince George, I put my sleeping bag between me and the door, defrost was just strong enough to give a clear 12inc circle to see through. I was often the Only 8in tracks through frest falling and blowing snow!! But hey, I was young😅😮
Some of the best off-road content I have seen in a long time, beautifully edited, I have literally watched this over and over. Keep up the great content.🤙
Before I got my drivers license my grandpa gave me an old scout very old scout. I don’t remember the year but the driver and passenger seat was a sheet metal bench, seat and back, with cushions sitting on it. He said if I got it driving I could have it. New clutch, fluids, starter, battery distributor and……I got it running. Then he sold it. I’ve wanted one ever since, many decades ago. Love your video!
Love this video!! You should come do an adventure up in norcal sometime. Maybe a usal beach offroad adventure? a tahoe excursion with the IH parts guys would be fun too.
My first vehicle was a ponderosa pine green 73’ with 4x4 manual transmission and V8. I don’t think it could break 75mph flat out but it was absolutely superb offroad and on ice and snow with appropriate tries. I had more adventures than I can count in the scout. I had at real personal connection with the vehicle. Of the 30 vehicles I’ve owned over the years it is definitely in my top 3 favorite. Right up there with my 68 firebird and 57 Baja bug. The scout has a soul.
Just one complaint. Rooftop tents! Really where’s the army surplus canvas? Just kidding excellent video and an astounding heard of Scouts! Thought I was going to say Bronco didn’t you, but I donuts know the name of a group of bad a vintage metal like those.
Beautifully crafted video. You all caught the spirit of why we love these Scouts today!
thank you for the kind words!

I’ve always been a Toyota fanboy.
But the videography skills in this channel have made me a fan of the Scout community. Safe travels!
we appreciate the support!
Toyota is complete garbage
Saw two of these rigs a couple weekends ago heading south on the 14. Beautiful film btw.
Never heard of the scout before! Awesome video man ! Got a new subscriber.
welcome to the club!!
Loved this. It felt very Bruce Brown or Warren Miller. The cinematography and the audio were fantastic.
thank you for this, means a ton!

Glad he had that RTT, if he’d invested in a locker he wouldn’t have gotten stuck! 🤷♂️
I was rebuilding and modifying Scouts for about 20 years. Then one day I sold them all and got into adventure and dual sport motorcycles.
fierce
Oh when was this? wish i would have known...this is in my backyard :(
Matt! It was just a couple weeks back. We will get you on the next one!! Miss you, friend!
i had a 1965 got a 1961 now and 1963 with snow plow go up a tree if ya are brave enough
Sadly VW bought International Harvest and they will be releasing their version of the Scout as an EV in 2026.
EV needs to go! I couldn’t help but think the same thing.
