1978 International Scout. Restored it myself. Was my daily driver.

Nice! Back in the day I had a 74 Scout. It had the 345ci V8 bus engine and manual transmission. Damn thing got 10 mpg no matter how I drove it but would go anywhere.

Just traded the yellow 2015 JK for 2021 Gecko JT behind it. The little lizard looks so small, but already have lift, 35's, bumpers, and side steps on the way.

You should get a discount on your insurance for being so visible. I mean if someone runs into you, they must be texting.

I traded in my 2014 JKU Sport with 77K miles when purchasing my 2020 JTR. Dealer gave me $22K for trade on the JK. When I checked the used section of their website, it was listed for $32K! It was gone within a day. Love my JT but the JK was bad ass too. Drove it all over the Eastern US and even Canada.

2009 Chevy Colorado extended cab 4x4 with the 5.3 liter V8. Had a shell installed on the bed. I used to get compliments all the time on the look and color (aqua blue metallic ). My JT is black with black Warn wheels and a leveling kit and for some reason it gets the compliments too. Both get or got lousey mileage.

I traded a 2020 GMC Canyon Denali for a 2021 Gladiator Rubicon. Mostly because I wanted the open air concept for Wildlife photography & it looks tougher.

No trade in, but I sold a 2006 LJ prior to ordering my JT.

Beautiful Scout! 10-15 years ago it might have been shipped to Staten Island, now you need to be in the Hamptons to buy a good one!

yep. Dude was my age. Was going to use it to drive 800 yards to the beach with his surfboards. He took last year off because of Covid. Needless to say, family has a little bit of money. He’s traveled the world in electronic bands playing drums lol. He and his wife “started” 6 yoga locations at once in nyc. He’s lived the exact opposite life as I have. The amazing thing is, he is a down to earth guy and we get along really well. Hetexts me often and tellsme some of the things he’s done to the scout. And does all the work himself. I miss the scout but the only vehicle I’ve ever wanted more was a gladiator. I wouldn’t be able to afford one if Ididnt build and sell the scout. So now I have my dream jeep and selling the scout almost paid for the gladiator completely. My son will get the gladiator when he’s 16 if I still have it. I will probably buy a 2 door wrangler and start another build then. That was the 3rd scout I have built so im sure I will do it again.
