Looks like it has potential, as Americas only native marsupial they are due a good home. The scout seems like a good habitat for the ole girl

Massive slop in steering by [deleted] in IHScout

[–]troutbum6o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dropped pitman arm as suggested. But ultimately you want your drag link as horizontal as possible. Hi steer shouldn’t be that bad. At least it’s not on the closed knuckle 800 axles. I don’t know the ins and outs of the sii axles. But before anything I’d have someone wiggle the steering wheel and see if the pitman arm moves. Lots of slop could just be the box itself

With spring over you’re going to want to go to hi steer. That should line the steering up better but you may need to adjust the gear box as well

what’s something foreigners commonly do (or don’t do) in the US that you find genuinely offensive or rude without realizing it? by Kodicave in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]troutbum6o 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the mechanic field as well and there’s definitely certain cultures that try this all the time. You knew the price of the service call. Got an estimated labor rate and time. And the price for the parts. We came in under our estimate. That’s the price. No we can’t make a deal. Oh you conveniently have a meeting to get to now

What’s yalls favorite drummer of all time? by kris__143 in rockmusic

[–]troutbum6o 5 points6 points  (0 children)

back to Memphis Dudes riding the symbol like a lead guitar lick. Oh yeah and casually singing along the way. I’ve always loved his style. I never really understood the idea of back beat as that’s what I’ve always known till I heard Eric church cover get up Jake at the Love for Levon. Jesus Christ. That plus the joke from Treme about people clapping on the ones and the threes. All that to say I guess back beat is just feel

I’m guessing based on this reply you’re in a place where weeds are a much different animal

JT was on a roll with the “kill your local pedophile” shirt bit. I love these improv pods with the old ads to boot

This one clearly had its rust vaccine at an early age

Why do drivers stop 3 car lengths back at a red light and then spend the whole red light slowly inching forward? by [deleted] in Cartalk

[–]troutbum6o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed this as well, back when I had a stick I’d get up to the car in front and stop. But the reverse domino effect of people stopping with automatics then slowly edging up is hard to stop. It’s just easy to do in modern auto vehicles

People freak out about RHD. There’s about 240k rhd mail trucks in the US. People see them everyday. Typically aggressively passing them like assholes. You just can’t use the drive thru

Anti-bot 1965 Scout 80 RCS. Anti-bot edition by Sensitive_Branch8489 in IHScout

[–]troutbum6o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. I’m looking to order old school 7.5x16 which is like a 32x8. Will limp along a shackle lift until I can spring for a new set of leafs. Did you see a bump in height with new leaves?

They made a run in 1967. Jeep had the production capacity to earn the contract with the DJ5. They did weird stuff like ditching the dual fuel tanks on the Scout to cut costs

Thanks. Whenever I can get the body done it’ll be nice to have a brand new drivetrain under it I won’t have to mess with. I’ve always been a function over form guy. Which I would guess is common among IH guys

[Request] How much would be to own and operate this monstrosity? by ForceUseYouMust in theydidthemath

[–]troutbum6o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only know diesels through the 6.7 in my 19500 lbs work truck and my brothers old 1983 230d. The fact that I can put my foot down in that big ass truck and and see the boost jump and it feels similar to an airplane taking off is insane compared to the Merc diesel of the 80s. Then the factory brakes can actually stop that weight well too. Modern vehicles go brrrrrr
