  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.

    The master cylinder is a dual, I bought it off of Amazon it is a doorman M39502 , I think that's for a 76 CJ5, I did not do power brakes. The disc brakes were a kit, they came off of another Scout build, I bought the axles from another 64 Scout 80. There are lots of opinions and ideas on what to...

    Yes, i met you there. This the one that scout motors put next to the Terra. There were certainly legacy scouts restored nicer than mine but mine being 100 percent stock must have been the look they wanted.

    100% sure The dash vents and fold down windshield are key signs. A better shot of the dash would make it clear

    This is a 1963 Scout 80, and originally came with a half cab which I still have. It has the stock 152 engine but I have upgraded to a Weber carburetor, disc brakes and a dual master cylinder. All work was done by me except for the upholstery. It is a fun weekend cruiser. I found this in Arizona...
