1979 Scout Traveler 345 here. I am very torn on whether to fix the rust and build up this truck, or to just continue saving for something cleaner. It has been incredibly reliable mechanically, the interior is in great shape and the frame is solid, however it is needing new floors, cab mounts...

Not mine, just saw on CL... Would make a cool build. https://kalamazoo.craigslist.org/cto/5972395228.html

Lucky stiff, i could have used this! :) glws

Great photos and report! Once again, I'm envious. Looking forward to your next chapter, hopefully smoke not being from the trucks.

Great photos! My dog is definitely not as athletic as most (he thinks he is), but loves coming on adventures. Sometimes I just need to help him a bit.

As others have stated, thank you for the beautiful photos and trip report. It was great to daydream that I wasn't sitting at my desk here in Detroit for a little while. :smiley_drive:

Those look great. I just got back from the Bright Angel and South Kaibob myself, and just used my Hanwag Bergler with a superfeet insole. I have thin feet so the insole helped eliminate excess volume. The Berglers have been great. I never saw myself spending so much for footwear, but a friend...

Thanks for all of the replies. I got back into the garage after selling my car, and got back to work on the CB. I will hopefully be able to find an enduro or start another project when the CB is "finished". I fabricated the rear hoop and seat mount, just working on a seat pan before taking it...

It was stock ride height. The truck was traded in over the weekend, for a 2016 Tacoma TRD Off Road.

**The truck has been traded in** I am trying to get out of having multiple car payments, as I don't want to pay for insurance on two vehicles. Unfortunately, although I love this truck, Ford has had some incredible rebates on their ST's making it possible to purchase a new car for 20k, 5 less...

Just that I listed the truck for sale, AND my car. I want to actually explore more, and modify the vehicle as needed, but am finding it difficult while making two car payments. The Fiesta dropped a couple thousand and still cannot sell. Ford had some incredible rebates allowing buyers to get a...

Well I still haven't sold the Fiesta so having two car payments is definitely stifling progress. I did get around to replacing the wheels that came on the truck. Two had been leaking for quite some time, likely due to oxidation around the rim. They were cheap, but I think look much better...

Great replies. Thank you all. I'll keep my eye out and finish this up in the meantime.

Well, after watching Long Way Down/Around and many other adventure documentaries (and stalking the posts here) I regret my purchase of a 1976 Honda CB550. I originally wanted to do another modern take on the classic, and just have a simple and fun bike. Now I wish I had just put that money...

I have a 2003 without nav, and really I find myself only missing bluetooth. I plan on simply adding an aftermarket unit using something like this beatsonic kit . As far as the newer v8, I would have loved the extra power, but I got a great deal and only had 80k miles on the truck, so I jumped at...

Welcome and congrats on your Disco!

I'm a bit envious of your decision. I recently moved from a little sporty hatchback to a more capable 4x4, which I love, but then replaced the missing sport facter with a CB550 project. Lately I wish I had gone with a dual sport or something to take camping. Looks so much fun. What part of...

So turns out I misunderstood the plans and I did not go to Manistee this weekend, but to the Gaylord State Forest Area. It had been my first time camping in many many years. The sleeping bag worked out great, keeping me warm and dry. The weather was typical of a Michigan fall. We had sunshine...

Great, i actually had not ordered the extra 265/70 yet, as I plan on replacing those wheels with a set of 5. I just haven't had the opportunity and was wanting to get my car for sale before spending much on the truck. That has not worked yet, haha. I am excited to get it to Manistee National...

Thanks everyone for the kind words! I have been unable to make any more changes just yet, as I did have to get camping gear that isn't bolted to the truck. I picked up an REI Igneo sleeping bag, an Alps Mountaineering Infinity 5500 pack, and REI hang-time chair, and a bunch of other goodies. I...
