  • 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.

    Same. I love them but don’t want another one. By the time my Scout gets here I will have had a Wrangler for 15 years. That’s long enough.

    Exactly and the corrosion thing has been such an issue it had soured me towards getting another Wrangler

    And that’s why if you replace the hinges you have to repaint the whole door. And that’s so expensive I’m just dealing with it. Pain in...

    OK, if it ever becomes an issue, I’ll do that but mines a 2018 JL so it’s not that old yet so it’s not that much of an issue yet

    Well if you can still get the doors off I highly recommend replacing that sleeve. Mine is a 2013 and one day my son legitimately...

    Good old Galvanic Reaction. Inevitable if they mix metals unless everything has rubber or nylon gaskets or connector inserts so...

    Have you replaced the sleeve the pins go into on the doors. That’s the issue. It’s metal on metal and it seizes. The passenger door...

    The doors are OK to open and close for me I haven’t had issues on that. It was just the seals. That went bad.

    Yep I have extended warranty still and the seals are not covered

    I have that MOPAR lifetime warranty but it doesn’t cover that. They would put a new engine in for $100 but won’t fix the doors.
