Project rockscout is for sale!! It hurts me to have to do so, but the truck must go. To read more about the truck, feel free to read the build thread, but buckle in, it's long. Buy today and own a piece of IH history! I am asking $5500.00 for the truck and am not willing to part or trade. The truck is located in oregon city, oregon, or the greater portland area for you out of staters.

project rockscout

This truck was built to compete in the calrocs and the w.e.rock professional rock crawling series, which it did 4 times about 3 years ago. Since then I have used it as my personal wheeling rig, mainly crawling in tillamook state forest and naches washington. The truck is very solid, and light for an International weight in at just over 3600 pounds and crawls very well. It flexes extremely well and has a low center of gravity, making it very stable. As it was a modified stock rig, it seats 2 people well and has room in the back for gear. I hate to have to sell the truck, but my wheeling needs have changed and need the funds to move onto another project. The truck wheels great the way it is, or it’s an extremely good platform for upgrades.

Still accepting offers on this truck. I am not looking for another project or rig to store, but if you happened to have a 220 mig welder or either a 110 or 220 plasma cutter, I would consider it in partial trade for the truck. Pm me with details and we'll go from there.
