He just meant that it isn't a full-time 4X4. The few sentences after saying it's "always 2X4" describes the 4 wheel drive equipment such as the transfer case and locking wheel hubs.
Joel was so nice to ask Jay questions about himself. Jay is intentionally vague and mysterious about a lot of things, and it was cool that Joel wanted to know more about him.
As an aside - He co-wrote an autobiography called “Leading With My Chin” that lays it all out. It’s actually very good. I think the audiobook version is floating around UA-cam, and he narrated it.
@@Vashed555 Jay also has a children's book named "If Roast Beef Could Fly". I met Jay at a Hot Wheels event in El Segundo several years ago and he signed it for me. Jay is so cool.
I'm repeating myself here, but nobody else is doing a show like this - only Jay. The cars are front and center, sure, but it's the people and the stories that really get emphasized. That's what has kept my interest loyally for all these years; it's the way Jay does it. - Ed on the Ridge
Jay has a sympathetic keen eye. He is impressed with the total package but he did pick up on the "I can see daylight " around the doors which was common on the original design. I enjoy restomods and turning an old work vehicle into a daily driver. Great job!
In 1966 I was 16 years old working in a gas station and chasing parts in a Scout. The top was off all summer. Good times. It was bare bones...the opposite of this one. Joel and Sarah should enjoy this one. Thanks for the unveiling.
My first vehicle was my a 1966 Scout 800 that my dad bought for my brother to take us all to school…all 5 of us. The basic Scout came with a slant 4, 3 speed manual and 2-wheel drive. The only options dad got were the front and rear passenger seats…yes, they were optional. Brian Corsetti has done an beautiful job!
I just finished watching a CBS News video about someone's impressively large collection of classic cars burnt to a crisp in Altadena. I hope Jay and his collection are safe and as protected as possible, though there's not much you can do to protect against 90mph winds
I once knew an astronomer who bought a two seater international harvester because he went to the desert often to view stars away from the lights . Last time I saw the guy, that car had so much wear that the drivers seat was just bare springs with a Mexican blanket on top so he could sit .
Back in 1977 I bought a 1967 Scout 800 with 45,000 miles. I believe it had a 192? CI 4 cylinder. It topped out around 50-55 mph. Wish I still had it !!!! It was built like a tank !!!
I had a 1967 Scout back in the '80's. It had a 196 slant 4. The motor was the 392 V8 minus one bank of cylinders. Three speed non syncro transmission. It would crawl right up a wall in low range four wheel drive.
@ I never came close to getting mine stuck and I took it some places that were terrifying. I'd just close my eyes, put it in low first, let out the clutch, and hang on.
I don't like the welds on the intake pipe for bends joins. Surely, a pipe bender would have done the job. Or steel reinforced rubber air piping. I'd have separate hand made remote resoviors rather than an ugly block. Plus really nice hand filed brackets. Tiny details.
People say they don't build cars like the use to, but I remember a quote from a famous restoration guy everyone loves the 1959 Cadillac but the build quality at the time the body looked like a bunch of marshmallows on a stick.😊
Ive seen so many scouts ,alot of my friends worked at IH in Ft Wayne In.., i think they would diffently appreciate this beautifull build..well done sir, Thk Jay for sharing
Wow beautiful restomod! In college in 1985 I owned an abandoned 1963 international scout I bought for $100 and fixed up a bit. My black laborador dog and my friends loved riding in it. It would be great to drive one like this restomod with good power and handling! Nicely done!
Harvester Scouts were built in Fort Wayne, Indiana, my hometown. The Fort Wayne I.H. plant was known as the Heavy Truck Capital of the World in the 1970s.
The K5 Blazer killed the Scout and Bronco II back in the 70's! But this is a nice modification with the upgraded power train! I bought a 72 Chevy K5 Blazer for my first vehicle when I was in the military!
Very much enjoyed the conversations. In 1983 I bought a 1976 Bronco for $2900. It had the 302 v8, manual trans, manual steering and posi rear end. In very good condition. It had the loud and tinny uninsulated roof. Glass-pack dual exhaust out the sides in front of the rear tires. The worst handling vehicle I ever owned, but the most fun to drive I ever owned. And unstoppable in the snow but could easily get you in trouble so you had to really be on the ball. The manual steering was the worst part.
Love the Scout, I have a '66 that needs lots of attention. This gave me plenty of ideas. Fun to see Jay get interviewed, that doesn't happen very often. Oh and he let the owner drive the car for once haha. Great episode!
I’m going to miss these vids when you decide to retire your camera. You’ve brought us vehicles we would never have seen and we all appreciate the time and effort you’ve put into your craft. Thx from all of us car guys.
Back in 1973 the people I worked for had four of these with the four cylinder engine and a three speed trans. Each had a snow plow attached in the winter. They were reliable and tough and because of their short wheel base they were great at snow plowing in tight quarters. I specifically don't remember these as being slow as Driving on the expressway they kept up with traffic at 60mph. International never seemed to realize the potential of this early SUV but Ford did and the Bronco was the result. If I were to build a retro mod of the Scout I would use the Honda motor from the CRV, with 185 HP, auto trans and all wheel drive. My CRV averaged 32mpg and this Scout with air, disc brakes and new electronics, it would be a great drive!
Our 66 800 was definitely a workhorse. Positraction, front and rear and that massive 152 four banger. the roof popping like a soda can when you hit a bump.
The Luminox has tiny tritium gas-filled tubes on the hands and indices that glow in the dark without having to be charged by an mabietn light source. Over 12 years the brightness drops by 50% and so on due to the half-life of the tritium. Awesome Scout!
Beautiful restomod! Definitely keeps the orginal look, which is awesome! I'm a sucker for the old Scouts! I passed on a dark (British racing?) green 1963 model 80 way back in the mid-1980s. I think I walked because they wanted $1,500 --- I'd take that deal today! I have to say I really like the folding windshield of the Scout 80s. Why? Because the window folds down!
I think the restomod videos are my most favorite. Thanks for another great video! (need more Animal Control too, show's genius) It's clear why "scout" got rebooted as a brand - "travelall" doesn't quite flow as nicely lol
That's one of the most tasteful, understated, restomods I have ever seen on a 4x4. Bravo!
…except for the headlights. Puke
It's not a 4x4 anymore though. 17:43
He just meant that it isn't a full-time 4X4. The few sentences after saying it's "always 2X4" describes the 4 wheel drive equipment such as the transfer case and locking wheel hubs.

That is just Leno, I have never heard him say anything particularly personal
As an aside - He co-wrote an autobiography called “Leading With My Chin” that lays it all out. It’s actually very good. I think the audiobook version is floating around UA-cam, and he narrated it.
Yes

Brian knocked it out of the park once more. Congrats Joel and thanks for sharing Jay!
Brian such a humble guy. Glad he’s doing ok with his business and you can tell how much he likes what he does.

- Ed on the Ridge
That is so true
Do we need to talk you off the ridge Ed?
Careful on the ridge, Ed.
My Dad had a '72 Scout. Our family of 5 + the dog would pile in & travel 10 hours to Northern Maine on the annual fishing trip.
Good memories.
I could listen to Jay's stories all day!
That is SWEET!
Love how he did NOT raise it too high.
Jay has a sympathetic keen eye. He is impressed with the total package but he did pick up on the "I can see daylight " around the doors which was common on the original design.
I enjoy restomods and turning an old work vehicle into a daily driver. Great job!
Jay didn't "see daylight" around the doors on this vehicle, he was referring to the OEM product.
In 1966 I was 16 years old working in a gas station and chasing parts in a Scout. The top was off all summer. Good times. It was bare bones...the opposite of this one. Joel and Sarah should enjoy this one. Thanks for the unveiling.
I love that Sarah (and Joel) wanted to keep a STOCK appearance. No 22" wheels or ridiculous lift. Looks SPECTACULAR.
Perfect blend of the old and new technologies in this Scout. Thanks Jay. 😎👍😎
Impressive build...excellent job Brian!
Good chemistry, good truck, good times. You guys had me laughing pretty hard.
Joel's got himself a SWEET ride! Great, great restomod!
Less is more. Absolutely perfect touch on this Scout.
Jay stay safe with all of the Wild Fires.
Thank you, Mr. Leno for another amazing International Scout review🙏🏽
Great to see an IH on the show Jay!
Love listening Jay's car stories..

Brian Corsetti has done an beautiful job!
The slant 152 cubic inch 4 cyl was a half 304 V/8
Beautiful Scout, I miss mine but getting to see this one so lovingly restored and modded is nice.
I just finished watching a CBS News video about someone's impressively large collection of classic cars burnt to a crisp in Altadena. I hope Jay and his collection are safe and as protected as possible, though there's not much you can do to protect against 90mph winds
Burbank airport
I hope Jay has a multi-million dollar fire suppression system at his hangers, and LOTS of insurance.
Jay's garage is in Burbank. Next to, if not on airport grounds. That area has been and should stay safe from the fires.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMHif a sprinkler went off inside his building that also would be a mess.
That's sad news.
I like how much Jay's approval of the car means to Joel.
I once knew an astronomer who bought a two seater international harvester because he went to the desert often to view stars away from the lights . Last time I saw the guy, that car had so much wear that the drivers seat was just bare springs with a Mexican blanket on top so he could sit .
That is a pretty cool looking vehicle! It would definitely go through a Michigan snow!! That is one very lucky lady to be able to drive this one!
What a very nice little truck from the same guys who built the GREATEST school bus chassis of all time, the International 3800!
Thank you for showcasing the scout. I have asked for it several times in the comments and you delivered!
Beautiful outcome. Brian should be very proud.
1:58 - I had enough.
That’s about where I had enough.
Back in 1977 I bought a 1967 Scout 800 with 45,000 miles. I believe it had a 192? CI 4 cylinder. It topped out around 50-55 mph. Wish I still had it !!!! It was built like a tank !!!

@@Blair62 Exactly😁
What'd you pay?
The one I had with same 4 cylinder felt about as heavy as a tank every time I push it off the road.
@ I never came close to getting mine stuck and I took it some places that were terrifying. I'd just close my eyes, put it in low first, let out the clutch, and hang on.
Being a Scout owner for 53 years( same Scout) you can’t call this 800 a Scout, all it does is look like one!
800 scout/ restomod*
Probably behaves nothing like a Scout. Ideal horsepower for LA errands.
I was thinking "re-bodied Jeep."
Okay, let's call it Bob. There, are you happy.
Great video Jay .. and a knife guy too .. YES!!
I hope those 3 caps in the engine bay have fluid designations on them!
Good point
That's an extra $10k I'm sure. lol
I don't like the welds on the intake pipe for bends joins. Surely, a pipe bender would have done the job. Or steel reinforced rubber air piping. I'd have separate hand made remote resoviors rather than an ugly block. Plus really nice hand filed brackets. Tiny details.
I think they could have done a little better job on the welding on that tank also just saying
The story of the lady unable to find oil filler cap ,claiming only to be able to find a cap with 710 on it
Remember those late '60s Scouts with the stripe package & the chrome reverse wheels?
They looked way cool.
*If the wife hates it! - I want it!* 🙏 *Hope it has survived the Conflagrations so far!*
Hit it out of the park, Great job. This sure beats a new Bronco.
People say they don't build cars like the use to, but I remember a quote from a famous restoration guy everyone loves the 1959 Cadillac but the build quality at the time the body looked like a bunch of marshmallows on a stick.😊
Thanks Jay! Thanks to the CREW for providing cool videos.
A Beautiful Creation Diamond 📊 Jay and the garage crew Love Yall .!
Ive seen so many scouts ,alot of my friends worked at IH in Ft Wayne In.., i think they would diffently appreciate this beautifull build..well done sir, Thk Jay for sharing
Jay .." You could get a couple of old bags in here!"...priceless!
Wow beautiful restomod! In college in 1985 I owned an abandoned 1963 international scout I bought for $100 and fixed up a bit. My black laborador dog and my friends loved riding in it. It would be great to drive one like this restomod with good power and handling! Nicely done!
If this guy was a dog he would be a labradoodle.
So hungry for approval

5:16
800 THOUSAND DOLLARS?!!! 😮
The Singer guys are blushing.
*Love the Scout!* ❤💕❤ *Can't Stand the Weasel De Niro!*
This resto-mod is perfect. Up to date, but still has the original character.
This was one of the best episodes you've ever done...😊
You have to love that perfectly angled driveshaft!
The K5 Blazer killed the Scout and Bronco II back in the 70's! But this is a nice modification with the upgraded power train! I bought a 72 Chevy K5 Blazer for my first vehicle when I was in the military!
Bronco II didn’t come out until the 80s
JAY WAS SURPRISE THAT THIS GUY CLOSED THE HOOD WITHOUT JAY FINISHED HIS TALKING .
Joel mentions more than once ... ADHD!!
Had a 53 Willys wagon... seen a couple of restromods of those that are really cool.
Jay Leno: Comedians in cars not getting coffee. Joel and Jay, a funny duo. Great episode.
I learned more about Jay than in any other video I’ve ever seen
Very much enjoyed the conversations. In 1983 I bought a 1976 Bronco for $2900. It had the 302 v8, manual trans, manual steering and posi rear end. In very good condition.

Great to see Jay looking so good. Used to treat the 4 cylinder Scouts really bad....wish I would bought every one now!
Lol.. The dude just clapping for the truck in the passenger seat..
Calm down bud. 🤣
He's like a 🦭 half expected Jay to balance a treat on his nose. Wish it was just Jay and the builder.
Who else (who also lives in the United States) has no idea who Joel McHale is? Nice job on the Scout, Brian.
Yes, who is he?
No clue.🫤
I’m going to miss these vids when you decide to retire your camera. You’ve brought us vehicles we would never have seen and we all appreciate the time and effort you’ve put into your craft. Thx from all of us car guys.
The Scout was just ahead of it's time.
One of my favorite resto mods
Thanks for putting in on the lift!
Love the Scout, beautiful build.
You guys a hoot together. Joel’s scout is beautiful. Should be a great car for him and Sarah. Thanks for sharing!
💯👊👍💕

Great video, Jay and Joel! What a nice little truck for Joel’s wife. Very well done restoration of a classic truck. Love the color combo too 👍
In my late teens and early 20's my dad had a couple of different Scout II's. Great vehicles in snow.
Really glad you’re doing well, Jay!
Wow! Un oeuvre d'art !😊
Beauty. Love the stance!
Great looking vehicle. I had a Scout II years ago, a real tank.
ok....generally nice truck....with a high end build, man the welds have to be better. @6:39 the intake welds just look amateurish.
Yep! Those tank welds look awful.
Navistar is now VW. The new scout looks amazing.
Holy crap, I have never seen a show with so many she’s in it and I’m not just talking about how many time the word was said.
Awesome restomod Thanks guy's
Our 66 800 was definitely a workhorse. Positraction, front and rear and that massive 152 four banger. the roof popping like a soda can when you hit a bump.
Really great work. Great video as well.
That Scout is wicked and$$$$$ I can only dream 😎
Fun car/truck and funny guest! - Cheers!
Love the scout! Joel is like taking a sip from a fire hose. Little much. Maybe he’s nervous.
Cocaine
Looks correct. Love the wheels.
REALLY... Watch commercial on J Ls Garage... thanks again for your presentation of the beautifully re-engineered SCOUT😂
I didn't think he was that bad, Leno is such a legend.!

Wow! What a Dream!
"That line was longer" - very good
Great truck - well done!
I'd have that Scout!!!! Nicely Done...
Fantastic conversation between the two. More entertaining than the car
So good to see Pierce and Joel back together.😅
Always loved the Scout body style. Congrats to Joel and his wife... both for the sweet new ride and for Joel being so unexpectedly jacked lol
Last time I saw McHale he was playing a superhero (Starman), so not unexpected. ;-)
I think the restomod videos are my most favorite. Thanks for another great video!
(need more Animal Control too, show's genius)
It's clear why "scout" got rebooted as a brand - "travelall" doesn't quite flow as nicely lol
It looks like it rides very nice for an old combinder.
Always wanted one of these since a neighbor bought one new back in the 70s. Maybe someday.
Beautiful scout!
Jk Dana 44 axles are 11.5” wider than the stock scout 800 axles. Well done sir. It looks great
9:27 "Make it look stock but go fast."
Yes. That's exactly the way to do it.
