    The truck passed emissions test with no problems. So with the plates attached it was time for a test run. I loaded up the Scout and headed to Nevada to visit Skipped Link for a couple days. I wanted to check out his new axles and mess with the Scout a little bit. The trip out was pretty...

    Progressive for insurance. For now anyway. Also, i paid 382 to the dmv for the registration but that included the temp tag. A little spendy but could be worse

    Because SLC is expensive!! And crowded. I was smart and left spliced out wires for the 7 pin for stop and running lights. Just need the 12v and the trailer brake. The truck does have a trailer brake controller in it and after looking at it, it appears to be wired in under the dash. But...

    Not much really to update but I spent a ton of money today. First a trip to the DMV. Utah sells a temp tag but the catch is you have to pay all your registration fees up front. Otherwise I would just go get a temp everytime I wanted to use it. I havent been able to load everything up and...

    Dana 60 rear steer

    Cam i would suggest building a 14 bolt rear. Your gonna have to buy knuckles and shafts anyway. Ive seen you drive, you will tear up the ring and pinion running on the coast side. Im positive you would be money ahead doing a 14 bolt steer axle

    I kept forgetting about the power steering reservoir. It was mounted on the fairings I removed off the back of the cab. I had just bungeed it underneath while I was working. I didnt want it on the back if it was at all possible so.... Honestly there are several places it would have...
