We Chose These Upgrades for Durability and Simplicity. Our philosophy at Northwest 4x4 is simple. "Its better to have a simple, well functioning machine then a trendy, over complicated, ill functioning machine". Simple, durable leaf springs provide the handling and stability we are looking for in this project while high end shocks and air bumps ensure a great ride with out the service requirements.

1980 International Scout 2 Traveler

2007-03-15T09:36:00.000-05:00

Lately our biggest project has been our Scout. It started as a beautiful blue rusted pile of wonderland and has been turning into a tank. This things been through a lot and we're happy that its going to stay in the family. So far it has Dana 60's front and rear T19 wide, we dropped in a Factory Rebuilt Nissan Turbo Diesel, a Dana 20 Transfer Case with PTO which goes for our 10,000 lb. Braden PTO Winch. We also have OX lockers front and rear, Custom Bumpers, Rock Sliders and Roll Cage (which we just got back from paint). Full Fiberglass Body, H1 Dual Bead lock Rims, 35x12.50R16.5 Trxus M/T's, York Air Compressor and about 8" of lift. So you can kind of see why i say this is a tank. Its been over at paint for about a week now and we've been anxious to get it back. We still have a lot of interior work to do and we still have to get her running. If you would like to see the pictures they're on our site.

Project Stinger

2007-03-15T08:20:00.000-05:00

Right now we've been experimenting with producing a line of Stingers. If you don't know what a Stinger is, well you might just want to find out. We make them out of 1.5" Seq. 40. They're unpainted and can be made in all different sizes. We could even add maybe a little rock guard in the center for you. So what do you guys think? Give us ideas of what you would like to see in a Stinger and we'll see if we can fulfill that dream. Whats best for you the customer? Let us know.

Thank You,
