What is your ultimate dodge Wheelin Rig? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

GRMhick · 11-05-2001, 01:00 AM

Well, it just about says it all.. what are your ideas on what you idea of the perfect wheeling rig is? I just want to see what ideas are out there. Heres mine.

1973 Dodge Power Wagon
440 6 pack (3 sets of chevy TBI's), mild turbos (7 psi), set to come in after 5k rpm
built 727 auto with a 1200 stall converter
203 low range, to a 3.8:1 geared atlas II
81-84 Dodge Dana 60 Front, 5.38:1 gears, Arb Air locker, Fully trussed, Alloy shafts, vented slotted rotors, full width
Built Dana 60 Rear end with 40 spline axles, and a spool, also with vented slotted disk breaks, full width
Hi angle Driveshafts

97ish Dodge Dakota body (with a full exo cage)
1.75" Stacked round Dom Tubing frame
38.5" sx's
Champion Beadlocked 8 lug 15x10 Acola rims.
Also 44" boggers on 15x12" MRT's
AND 35" goodyear MT/r's on 15x8 ARE Baja's
Doetsch coilover suspension, 5 link front, 3 link rear.
And a bumpin system.

Whats yours?

Pavemen · 11-06-2001, 09:07 AM

I think it would be fun to take a 2000 Ram 2500 regular cab, short box with V10, swap in an Allison automatic, swap the front D60 to a DynaTrac manual hub setup, 5.13's, ARB's, 6-8" quality lift, 44" Boggers, drop the bed for a flatty, build a snorkle and move all electronics to a waterproof/vented box on the flatbed. Hack the front fenders if needed to clear. Custom front hidden winch bumper (Reunel is too big) with a M12000 (the 15 has almost no rope).

The V10 has gobs of power and its stock, so no worries about reliability, its got FI for good running at angle, and its distributorless so water is not an issue.

A built Allison is just as good as a NV4500 but easier to drive. Full cage inside. Best part is that I get to keep the a/c!

Jff24Gordn · 11-08-2001, 05:15 AM

Maybe an old WW2 3/4 ton with dana 60/80 and a 3.9 cummins. bogggers and a eatron 6 speed, NP205, and 15k winch

power wagon all the way baby!

sprueitt · 11-21-2001, 09:18 AM

YES THE T-REX 6X6 WOULD BE THE BEST OFF-ROADER, YET I TOOK IT A STEP FARTHER. OUR 6X6 IS BUILT OUT OF 2.5 TON MILITARY AXLES, EXTERNAL ROLL CAGE, SUPED-UP V10, ETC..ETC.....

GOTO : DODGERAM.COM AND CLICK ON USA6X6 T-REX PROJECT OT SEE PICTURES OF ITS BUILD UP. CURRENTLY IT IS IN THE PAINT BOOTH GETTING NEW SKIN. THE PICTURES IN DODGEREAM.ORG ARE ABOUT 3 MONTHS OLD. IT IS ALMOST DONE AND WILL BE SEEN AT A FEW OFFROAD CHALLENGES HERE IN NEW MEXICO, UTAH AND COLORADO. SEE YA SOON ON THE TRAIL.

Charles Aarons · 11-21-2001, 08:43 PM

The ultimate Dodge 6X6 would be a WC63 1.5 ton with Cummins 4BTA, NV5600, 5.83s with Lockrights, PS/disk brakes and 325/85R16 XMLs.

LOL! I was looking at old threads in the dodge section looking for engine issue related problems. Started looking at some of the dumb threads from 2001 that we would crucify today.

That is a very cool line I broke a leaf pack on my toilet there.Would love to get Overcompensation to moon rocks some day

Highrolleres · 01-23-2011, 07:31 PM

yea ever time i see that picture i think its impossible ,I bet it looks harder in person

clinta · 01-23-2011, 07:49 PM

much more intimidating in person especially since my Landcruiser has a 106" WB . The dodge at 134" should go up it with out the front getting light. it is also very tricky to get into. what you dont see is at the bottom of the pic the trail crosses perpendicular to this obstacle with the start of it being in a cove in the rock. The other choice is from below as in you drop down into the ravine lower and have a nice climb to get into the cove. the cool part about moon rocks is the rock is like 30 grit sand paper. even when you arent spinning tires you still leave black marks
