Not Again! Scout Truck Breaks Deep In The Desert Twice

So we got a call for a 1975 International Scout 20 miles in the desert backcountry. We had to drag up the mountains and through some rough terrain.

[@russlehman2070]

I had two scouts. I would say Randy was telling the truth in both respects. Those scouts weren't the most refined truck ever made, but they were tough as nails. They were solid off-roaders stock, and with solid axles and leaf srpings on both ends, prettty easy to lift and throw some big tires on. The bad news was that the bodies were crap, and they were gas hogs, as you might expect of a 5,000 lb. truck with a carbureted V-8.

Where I am in Oz, no ropes, straps or chains onroad, rigid bar only- I got one I made up back in the nineties, got a 80mm Ubolt welded on one end, and a standard trailer hitch on the other, both ends with safety chains welded on... With that, perfectly legal to flat tow here, longest trip I did was towing a kombi with a blown motor back nearly 600km (370 miles)- even has a trailer plug at the hitch end and a socket at the other for the light bar off my boat- tuck the cable through the cab and occy strap it to the rear end- that way it's even got lights lol

[@Derick881]

Once had to replace the starter on my 1974 Scout in the driveway in Bismarck ND. It was -20 F at the time. Hardest part was starting the new bolts in the new starter. Had to bring them inside to warm up so I could handle them; that took 3 or 4 tries. I had the Scout raised 3 or 4 inches so all I had to do was turn the front wheel and reach in behind it. It had been working fine, switched it off and the starter was done. When I took the back cover off it little pieces fell out.

@@nickturner2813 oh I thought she said I can't see the road. I'll have to go back and look again.

[@okbanlon]

Wow - it's been about forty years since I've driven a Scout. Ours weighed about twelve tons, seemed like, and was built like a bank vault. That kamikaze run with no brakes or power steering looked almost as much fun as the flat-tired no-windshield rattle-bang with Lizzie and Randy!

[@jmatthewssmith]

We feared for their lives .

[@AntiPattern328]

Just noticed...... Half a million subscribers! That is amazing! Contratulations! You should do an episode on what your expectations were when you started and what you started with vs. what you've learned along the way. I think that would be pretty interesting actually.

[@JP-ou8yb]

One of my sisters girl friends had a scout like that worked great pulling her Hobie Cat up the beach in 4WD they just don't make rugged trucks like that any more.

[@cheryllynn8209]

The younger generation needs to know how easy they have it with power steering and power brakes. I think Lizzy found out 🤣🤣 Stay Happy, Safe and Healthy Everyone 💕

[@MAVORlC]

I was surprised she was complaining so much

[@dalmatiangirl61]

Yeah, I'm thinking she needs some gym time, she is spending too much time seat warming :-)

[@tylerjohn4607]

To be fair, there is a HUGE difference in driving a vehicle that does not have power steering equipped vs a vehicle that has a dead power steering system hooked up.

[@robertb4455]

@@dalmatiangirl61 Have you heard them talking about how she rides horses and works as a roofer? Sometimes she has spurs on her boots while doing a recovery with Matt? It also sounds like the whole extended family are very active.

[@mdemers767]

@@tylerjohn4607 - Even when the vehicle is dead, if it's moving, steering a PS equipped vehicle isn't too bad. Trying to turn a power steering equipped vehicle with a dead engine at a stand still... that's where the phrase "power steering by Armstrong" came into being. Also, this vehicle is new enough that power brakes came on it standard, as I believe it was law by that point. But yeah, you just about have to stand on the pedal when there's no vacuum for the brake booster.

[@colt45d]

Gotta love them old classics. Build well to last and to do a job not always for comfort. Sure glad to see rigs like that back out on the roads.

[@Indianear7]

Almost cried. I had a 75 International scout and loved it. Got a hair one day in 79 and decided that I needed a pickup, and traded for a Ford F150. The Scout had 65000 Miles on it then. One of the many HUGE mistakes that I've made over my many years. Now at 78 Yrs, I get to "Call Back the Times" and sigh. If Only!

[@GoatOffroad]

Lizzie is so sweet! She really didn’t like driving the Scout- Dang branches got in her way!! 😂🤣 Y’all are having so much fun and it shows! Hope to come see y’all again soon!! ❤️🐞

[@TheOgSiLeNtSHOTS]

Goodmorning everyone, we’re all here for it on this Friday morning! Loving the content, but I can’t wait for the corvair!

[@marvindebot3264]

Nice Scout! Yes Matt you can feel the weight, those things are built like a tank.

[@scottminer7702]

That Scout is totally mint.

[@perryleduc1954]

hell yeah i love waking up to a new morr

[@06colkurtz]

A corn binder! IH Scout. They don’t make them like that anymore

[@jshrawder49]

This reminds me of growing up in Alaska with our 79 Scout 2 international in hazard orange! KI loved 4 wheeling in that thing but in the back seat it was rough as hell! Good times!!

[@ronlee9984]

Sure is nice to have older episodes that I have not seen pop up.

[@nunyabinis]

One of my many regrets - not buying that rust free 4wd International Scout that was right hand drive - a former USPS truck.

[@robertnewman2620]

I bought a 78 mail scout with the right hand steering. I changed it back to left and made it four wheel drive. New Mexico truck. Perfect body.

[@daveon677engelbrecht6]

Enjoyed the good stuff....as always, Thank you and blessings from South Africa

[@MrK133n]

That Scout is 🔥. My dad’s 1969 Bronco was almost the same shade of yellow.

[@mountainman971]

Lizzy needs a Scout in her life. Scouts are the best.

[@squelchtone]

Another great video! As an XJ owner, I am interested in seeing you do a video covering some XJ repairs including what normally needs the most fixing on the Banana with all the work that you put it through. Thanks!

[@jshrawder49]

You guys are such a good team!! Great job on the weather report!!

[@russjowett2137]

I can appreciate exactly how Matt felt riding along side his Jeep in the scout. Like dam. That’s a great looking Jeep. Has a nice stance. Suspension works real smooth. Sounds great as it drives by. Then you just smile silently because it’s yours 😁

[@mdemers767]

Keep it. I'll take the Scout, even if it's broken down. Sell the grill and buy 5 Jeeps.

[@aliassabertooth5990]

Team Matt - on the hoodie to increase visibility add the Banana Yellow Jeep on the back. Valentines gift for the wife for morning walks... Cheers

[@thomasrossi31]

If the owner thought it needed a starter... wouldn’t it have been easier to bring a starter out and try swapping it?

[@kathyarmstrong649]

It's Matt's Towing and Recovery not Matt's Outback Service and Repair. Lol.

[@agent4mayhem]

I'd guess starters for IH motors are a little hard to come by, in the video the customer stated he had to get one ordered in at a parts store

[@thomasrossi31]

Yeah, I commented before the end of the video. Love the recovery videos... I’d think the owner would want to try the repair before calling for the tow.

[@JamesLee-oe7mt]

@@thomasrossi31 Considering that tow probs cost north of 400 bucks -you betcha

[@dustintunis9347]

I was going to comment that, but figured I see if anybody else had already. I didn't think about the availability of the starter though.

[@rd4660]

The kid’s Jeep needs a yellow paint job.

[@nunyabinis]

No way, Matt needs to switch his company color to gold!

[@702xRyder]

Bro facts or a wrap

[@calebbyers]

But then we couldn't distinguish between it and the legendary yellow banana

[@chadwinslow5493]

You guys always bring some sanity to life, thank you ❤️

Another day at the office for the crew, what an adventure! Thanks for bringing us along!
