Four Wheeling Fun in a ’79 International Scout Overlanding Rig – XOR S6, E7

1. We'll continue to post these episodes here on YouTube. If you can't wait for the rest of the build, visit our site to binge-watch: https://www.powernationtv.com/shows/xor

2. Who winches a tiny tree branch? That was weird. What a contrived use for a winch.

3. Good job guys. Great ride height and tire size match.

4. Is that a scout 800A?

5. $40,000 in upgrades, and they forgot to put windshield wipers on it.

6. Staged and scripted = boring

7. Ffs not another ls swap, way to ruin a perfectly good scout. 👎👎👎

8. Do you have a list of suspension upgrades…?
   Primarily want more travel and way less bounce ….more flex would be nice….

9. Is the diversity hire gone? Snoozefest over? Can I watch this show again?

10. I love it, haters are always going to hate.

11. Wait…what happened to Ian?

12. what a bunch of phonies. move a twig with a cable, could of picked it up as you did to get it there.

13. why didn't you install skid plates ?? i'm new to overlanding & am just curious

14. 😁✌🖖👌👍😎

15. Cheese and rice.
    Where in the ruck did you learn how to use cutting torch.

16. I always liked the IH Scouts.

17. I actually own an original prototype scout 80s… it came from the Valley Forge Military Acadamy

18. Just posted on my Scout truck club FB page. I own a 78 Scout II,

19. Quick way to shorten the life of the winch line…. I love scouts but host non enthusiasm killed it a few min in…

20. You guys are a joke

21. A tree? WTF? A SAPPLING!!!

22. I miss Turkey Bay………

23. I’d try out that back seat lol 😂

24. i have a 78, i would have ran through that stick

25. I have driven every trail of Turkey Bay with a 1969 VW Baja Bug. Not very extreme.

26. Hey u didn't use a tree saver on that tree .

27. Just dont try that with an aluminum rim and definitely not magnesium 🤣

28. I was hoping for the sd33 turbo 🙁

29. Lets buy an original vehicle and throw away everything except the body. Powernation in a nutshell.

30. Never hook your winch cable back to itself, which creates a kink, and from there a weak point. Use a strap to loop trees, and then hook to the strap. Bare cable will damage live trees as well. Only metal anchor points should be direct hooked to.

    Also, the " 'Binder " nick name isn't derived from something the heavy IH drivers used often to refer to other IH rigs, it was more in reference to the IH "Light Line", which were it's 1 ton and under vehicles (Travelall's, Scouts, and pickup trucks). IH offered these because they knew as long as they had a farmer in the dealership to spend 3/4 of a million dollars on ag equipment, you could probably also sell them a runabout vehicle for $10 grand to use in the fields while you were bringing your crops in. Also, while the salesman was selling you your ag equipment and a light truck, they were selling your wife a refrigerator and chest freezer. They even had some IH branded books and toys to keep your kids busy. 'Binder is shortened up from the phrase Corn Binder, which referenced the corn stalks that would get wrapped around your drivelines and axles while you were running back and forth in your corn fields during harvest.
     
    IH eventually got sick of the tight profit margins on the Light Line (Figuring why should they go to the effort to manufacture a $10K vehicle for $700 net profit, when they could focus on making $750,000 combine harvesters that net them $100,000 in profit. They didn't even want to be bothered with making $10,000 profit for a $90,000 tractor trailer rig, and subcontracted that out to Navistar International.) They retired all Light Line vehicles in late 1980 or early '81, saying they cared to leave the heavy competition in that field to the Big Three automakers.

31. Hey Thats not 4 wheeling your driving on a highway. A stock cruiser or Hilux will do all that more.Downunder 4×4.

32. SMH left over blazer running gear……

33. NEVER grab a winch cable without gloves.

34. I hope "cutie" lands on her feet somewhere with amazing opportunities for her! I wish the absolute best for Eliza, you go lady!

35. Thinkin a 4.0 swap on my 800 do something more original than a LS

36. Love seeing people have a fully built rig with 4 or 5 point harness and they only use the lap belt!

    Screw safety we are tv hosts!

37. Tree?….it was a stick…this show is such a joke.

38. Drive over the tree the rock were bigger than that log. 🤦🏾‍♀️😁
