Not a whole lot to update. Been raining like crazy and Ive had plenty of work.

Brought some 6" pipe home for a start to the stacks



And my super fancy....never been used Y pipe showed up as well. Thanks again Poorboy1!!




My next matter of business is getting the Scout loaded on the back to see how much room I will have between the front tires and the cab. Then some sort of headache rack/bang board will go in

 

[Chevycrew]

Nice to see an update! Get that thing done!

 

[ChestonScout]

I cant wait!

still plenty of cash needed tho

 

[ChestonScout]

Ive been itchin to work on the truck. Had good intentions but today was mostly a bust.

Ended up helping a neighbor who has back problems replace a burst water line on his home. Got that wrapped up and my Mom called and was having brake issues on her mini van. Bad caliper.

So after all of that I had about 4 hours to play.

I threw some ramps together and welded some 1" solid bar on the back for ramp attachment and loaded the pig up for a test fit.



I tried to get a few more pics but they didnt turn out well. I left it loaded so I will get a few more tomorrow.

I am completely dumbfounded at how stupid massive this whole setup is.

I think you need to haul the Volvo on the Scout. The Volvo is smaller.

 

[Chevycrew]

The Volvo really does look tiny with the scout on the back.

 

[ChestonScout]

The only thing tiny about this is my bank account

 

[Chevycrew]

Where's those new pics? Lol

 

[ChestonScout]

just got home from church. coming soon

 

[ChestonScout]

ok...heres a couple more









The Scout will obviously have to sit a couple inches farther back but I plan on pulling it right up against the bang board I will build.


The thing didnt get any smaller in the daylight.

 

[Gravy]

So cool. Ridiculously cool.

 

[rockreligious]

I love it! I suppose you can pull a camp trailer behind it all.

 

[ChestonScout]

thats the plan. Just need to save some money to buy one




Id like to get a toy hauler so I can haul the dirtbike around as well. They want crazy money for lame campers with back doors. Im probably gonna buy a normal camper and build a small flat bed in front of the camper. Just extend the frame and the tongue. But just thinking outloud for now

 

[Chevycrew]

I have seen a few for a decent price that already have racks in the back too. You may find one already setup for the bike.

 

[Chevycrew]

If not it should be as easy as a dovetail... right?

 

[ChestonScout]

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. lol


its all easy. just takes forever when you have one day a week to work on it

 

[Chevycrew]

Oh I know it. I have 4 days a month to work on my stuff too. Every other weekend is it.

With those big tires on the Scout I thought you would just pull up to a dip in the drive way and drive on but noticed you used ramps.

 

[ChestonScout]

The Scout would climb up there Im sure.

But diamond plate is slick. And if you look, my tires actually hang off the sides of the bed a little. Ramps are just a safer bet than ending up on my side in my driveway.
