Yabba dabba doo! Honestly, I have never cared for the looks of a stock Scout, but this one is delectable.

Pretty cool! What do you suppose cruising speed & rpm are with those huge tires?

I would not want to become stranded in a white truck in the snow!?!

Not too bad, I expect:

"A 4-speed manual distributes torque via electrically locking FJ80 Land Cruiser axles, but not before passing through twin transfer cases for super-low gear capability. Front and rear diffs run 4.88:1 gears"

Looks like a set of PST's (Pretty Serious Tires)
