I owned one of those mid 80's full size Broncos at one time. Red with white top.
I think that bitch got like... .75 miles to the gallon LOL! Rolled it over one morning and then sold it not long after.

Knew a couple of guys with scouts and I never really liked em.

I've been around a few of them myself and was quite impressed. They are very spartan and not all that comfortable, but take a beating like no other. With skids and a winch you can't stop them. Of course, the same can be said for FJ's and XJ's as well...

Don't get me wrong, I really like those old Broncos, but if I'm given a choice I'll take a Scout or an FJ40 in the woods any day.

Furthermore... Big Oly was 2WD.

You might be thinking of this...

In stock form they couldn't hang with IH and Jeep.

I wonder why...

They were winning all the off road races.
Not really.
"Scout SSIIs took top honors in off-road racing during the late 1970s. In 1977, Jerry Boone, of Parker, Arizona, finished first among 4x4 production vehicles in the Baja 1000. Boone completed the run in 19 hours 58 minutes, crossing the finish line at Ensenada almost 2 hours ahead of his closest competitor: a Jeep CJ7. Only 9 of 21 vehicles that started the race finished the 1,000 km (620 mi) course. Boone ran even faster than Class IV modified 4x4 racers. Mr. Boone later revealed that they only had a month to prep a stock SSII for the race and they were not sponsored by IH until after the race.[citation needed] Boone also won in 1978 at Riverside, California.
Sherman Balch, among many other accomplishments in off-road racing, won the off-road "world championship" in 1977 (the SCORE event in Riverside, California). Three other finishers along with Balch also drove Scouts. Balch also won the Baja 1000, the Mint 400, and three events in the fall of 1978 at Lake Geneva Raceway.
Sherman Balch and co-driver James Acker, driving a Scout SSII, went on to win virtually all major off-road races in 1982 offered on the West Coast/Mexico circuit by winning the Baja 250, the Baja 500, the Baja 1000, the Mint 400, and the Parker (Arizona) 400."

'66-'77, best 4wd vehicle ever made
Great looking vehicles, but nowhere near the best 4wd ever made.
Toyota, International Harvester, and Jeep all made machines that would run circles around the old Broncos.

27 years ago today... holy shit, where did the time go?

You realize that dumb bitch has put out 147 executive orders in 6.5 months?
Just wow.

Yeah, fuck that cunt.

Navy is saying no welding in the area where the fire started. However, they say the area was full of cardboard, rags, sheetrock, and other combustibles. (5/8 fire code rock shouldn't burn like that, but who knows what they had.)
So... sparks from an upper level made there way down or some dickhead is smoking a dart behind the dumpster?
I dunno, but it's a shitshow that will cause the rewriting of many dockside protocols. Not the least of which should be DON'T DISABLE THE FUCKING FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM DURING A MAINTENANCE DOWN.
Fucking stupid.

Twelve Star Trek facepalms... dang.

It's like asking to be a mod at NK.

I use a lot of starline brass. Make sure you size it first.

10-4.
The way the turret is setup, I have to run it into the sizing/decapping die to load a primer anyway. So the steps won't change, I just won't be pushing out a spent primer on the first go around.
