Peer Pressure

A 1976 Scout II named Peer Pressure
  • 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.
  • Welcome Guest to the Scout Registry!

    Our goal is to create the largest Scout Registry in the world. If you own a Scout vehicle, regardless of year or condition, we would love to see it.

    Just click on the "Add Vehicle" button and you can start the process. You can add a Title (your user name, model year, etc.), Brief Description (color name, model year, model) and a "Tell Us More About Your Scout:" where you can enter in your backstory, details about your Scout, modifications, restoration history, fun ownership stories and photos of your vehicle. You can also come back and modify or add to your registry entry at any time.

    Also, please upload photos if you have them. You can also embed the photos into your story that you create so that people can see larger versions.

    We look forward to seeing and hearing more about your Scout!

A 1976 Scout II named Peer Pressure

Tell us about your Scout:

This is my second Scout. it's titled as a 1976 but it's actually a 1975 body (date-coded with paint) on a 1979 frame/axle/engine combination (dated by VIN on the frame). I bought it at an auto auction with some persuasion from my friends (hence the name they gave it). it's a 345/T-19W with a bunch of factory-original California smog equipment still installed.

It came to me in this color combination with the lift already installed, a soft top, and a new set of Mud-Terrains. In the last 15 years I've stripped and bedlined the inside of the tub, added hydroboost for the brakes, swapped in PT Cruiser seats to replace the janky aftermarket seats it came with, installed shoulder belts, a poly gas tank, welded and installed my own rear bumper, added caster shims, and countless other small upgrades.

It's been out and back to Nationals and once to Harvester Homecoming five times so far, and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it further. It'll do 70mph on the highway with two-finger steering. I'll probably never paint it even though I don't really like the color, because I don't want to take it off the road for long.

I've also got a 1963 IH Travelall in the driveway that I'm bringing back to life, after being abandoned in a yard for six years.
