This 1978 International Harvester Scout II Traveler has undergone an extensive frame-off restoration, combining classic styling with modern performance. Originally a diesel-powered Scout, it was fully rebuilt in the 1990s before receiving a complete drivetrain transplant in 2018. The body is now fiberglass with a fresh two-tone paint job, while a fuel-injected 5.3L Vortec V8 and 6-speed automatic transmission provide power. With premium upgrades throughout—including Bilstein shocks, Dana 44 axles, four-wheel disc brakes, Corbeau bucket seats, and a modernized interior—this Scout II is a turn-key adventure rig with vintage appeal.

• LS3 V8 Power with Proven Conversion: At the heart of this Wrangler is a 6.2L GM Performance LS3 V8, swapped in by the experts at Bruiser Conversions. Producing a claimed 550 horsepower, it’s matched with Kooks long-tube headers, a Kooks 3" exhaust, a GenRight-spec Griffin aluminum radiator with fans, and PSC hydraulic ram-assist steering for total confidence in any terrain.
• Hardcore JK8 Pickup Conversion with GenRight Armor: Converted using Mopar’s JK8 kit, this rig replaces the standard four-door layout with a steel cab and pickup bed. GenRight aluminum front and rear bumpers, fenders, and rear corner guards add protection and presence, while a custom tire carrier, Rockslide Engineering rock sliders, and a full custom wrap finish the transformation.
• Custom Suspension & Axles for Real Capability: Suspension is handled by Rebel Off-Road DSS kits with color-matched King shocks front and rear, paired with a Teraflex Alpine long-arm setup. Underneath, Currie 70 high-pinion axles with ARB lockers and 5.38 gearing give this JK serious brawn, paired with Alcon big brakes and Currie AntiRock sway bars for total trail control.
• Upgraded Interior with Show & Sound: Inside, Corbeau LG1 suede bucket seats and a Rock Hard roll cage create a cockpit built for action. A Kicker audio system delivers clear sound, backed by a modern infotainment system. It all rides on a bedlined and reconditioned frame, reassembled to look as good as it runs.
