The Scout is getting reworked.............again

[ChestonScout]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO



My rear steer setup obviously wasnt going to work with the 54s.


So parts have been ordered.

First things are my favorite! Ive been waiting for years for this to happen and it finally has.......Im going to have some EVO joints on the Scout!

Thank you SOOOOO much Clay!

I also got enough to redo my tierods on the front ram. They are a little ghetto and Im surprised they have held. I wont have to worry any more.

I ordered another double ended ram just like my front ram from Surplus Center. Cant beat the price and its worked great. I started tearing the old stuff off last night. Hoping to have all the new parts installed this week. Pics to come.

Are you running your rear ram off of the engine driven hydro pump?? Or do you have it set up to run off of a 12V Hydro Pump??? Just kind of wondering. I am trying to start planning for my dual rear steer set up for my T-REX 2. I am really thinking about running 2 of the 12V pumps for the rear so I don't have to worry about plumbing it up to the front of the truck, and also that way if the rear steer fails, it won't effect the front Hydro steering.
Thoughts??

(p.s. Sorry for the Hi-jack! The Scout looks like it manhandled the Moab slickrock!! Does anyone have some video of Ches and Leroy, or just Ches, or just Leroy?? Maybe some T-Rex video too??)
Thanks everyone and keep up the good work Cheston!

Im running 2 engine driven power steering pumps. One for front and one for rear.



With your setup I would for sure go with the 2 12v pumps


There are a few moab videos on my facebook page.

Cheston, I dig that custom color matched bikini top. I have one just like it

Those EVO joints are bling! 1.25" shank?

 

[ChestonScout]

Ha ha



You can get this size joint with 1.25 shank. These are just tiny little 1 inch tho....

I guess this is why Tom Woods wanted me to go with a bigger diameter drive line

Sweet carnage! You just turned your driveshaft into a sausage link!

Looked more like a cinabun. Nice!

 

[spaggyroe]

What diameter and wall thickness is (was) that driveshaft?

 

[ChestonScout]

It was a 2" .120 wall



MMMMM.....Cinnabon
