Homage to Big Red

ihochad · 04-04-2008, 09:31 AM

So I took the time to digitize a few of the pictures I have of one of the fallen soldiers from the ol' days. I want to take a moment and pay homage to one of the greats. This is Big Red. At the time this was built it was one of if not the biggest Scout II daily driven in the country. At the time the 39" swampers were the largest radial tire made. They almost look small compared to what some of these guys are running but hell this was 13 years ago. It was a 810 also which made it somewhat speacial as well. One of the very first Scout II's ever built. I guess you can't keep them all but losing this one will always bother me.

Gone but not forgotten
