I would, but I only have one and it's MAXED out at 900 already No higher for me, just have to wait
I am ready to drive it , may need to up the limit I have waited 15ys, what a little bit longer But 2012 is coming fast

Pro,
Your 30 looks great and I love the ScoutII in the background, does it have the 345? I used to have one just like it but repainted it to look like the Eddie Bauer bronco paint theme, I even had the Eddie Bauer badges. I took it to the Ford dealer one day to look at a truck and the salesman noticed the Scout, I told him that Eddie Bauer went to International first with the idea to make a Eddie Bauer Scout and after making this one they decided against it so this was a one of a kind. I somehow managed to keep a straight face and never told him I was kidding.

Yea it has a 345, I have headers, alum. intake, holley 3 barrel, and a HEI(DUI) DIST. I got tired of messing with points. Has a spring over, reverese shackel, and 4 inch springs all around, lus another 2" in blocks in rear. I made the front reveres shackel so I dropped the mounts around 3". I need to do brake lines and a dropped arm. I already have the dropped drag link. And its the
WIFEY'S She has been driving it for years. She has rather be in it sweating than driving her newer Jeep with A.C. Here is a pick before I lifted it more.
I wonder if the sales man still thinks that.(lol) Got any picks?

Pro,
Will have to check for pics, don't remember taking any of just the Scout but I must have some pics of it included in the background. Looked behind where I am typing this and this and on the wall is a pic of the bear in the back of the Scout that I shot 19+ years ago a few years after I painted the Scout. Will look tomorrow for a better shot. Sold the Scout with 246,000 miles on it, it ran like a sewing machine and the heads had never been off of it. It used maybe a qt. of oil every 3000+ miles and I swear, with chains on it would climb trees.
