Projects / 1980 Dodge W200 4x4 EX-Fire Truck
September 17, 2013, 08:21:54 PM
I figured if I started a Build thread on this truck then maybe I would get my but in gear working on it when i get home.
Here are the Orginal specs:
1980
W200
318 Four Bbl
Np 435 Trans
Np 208 T-Case
Dana 44F 3.55
Dana 60R 3.55

So far Ive swapped out the front axle for a Dana 60 4.10 gears and a spartan locker. and I have a Dana 60HD 4.10 Gears and Factory locker for the rear I need to install. Ive installed the 6 inch lift in the front and still need to do the rear.
My plan changes daily with this rig so I can;t give you a defent plan  :dontknow:

Here are pictures of when i got it

General Discussion / Whats the latest on your project?
September 17, 2013, 07:53:37 PM
As some you know, I aquired a 1980 w200 a little under a year ago. And some how I keep finding reason not to get it going again for a meet. Well a few months ago I started working on it and Got a dana 60 and a 6 inch lift on up front. And the "plan" is to finish the rear when i get home in a week. I have hopes to retire the jeep for awhile and concentrate on w200 enough were it will be reliable and comfortable enough to take on Meets. Then I can finally get back to work on the M880! or do something else with it. I havnt decided. Kind of a big project.

So what the latest on your project?

Other Outings / Next RAMCHARGER.NET Get Together
September 04, 2013, 08:30:08 PM
I know we just finished RamJam 2013. But Im curious about when the next outing will be. I know some of Yall have said not until the spring and some have said late fall. There are some long trails that we havnt done at Hidden Falls that I would like to try out. But Im open to trying some new places if anyone is interested in a change of locations. But Im still a believer that Hidden falls Offers the most deverses trails.

So what do yall think? Late fall? Spring?

Dodge Destruction Details / Final Plans For Ramjam
June 12, 2013, 06:22:28 AM
So what are the Final Or latest plans for  RamJam??
I didn;t get a final count of events or awards so I can either just make some and go with it or we can wait for a final count.

Whats the verdict on vendors and prizes?

At this point, My company is sending me to Mud Engineering school which will be from July8-Aug30. So there is a good chance I can make it. But my schedule to get things done before then will be tight. So the more we can get done now would be great.

So Ive been going back and forth about a tent offroad trailer, Offroad camper , or a Full on RV. Im done sleeping on the ground in a tent even though i have several tents and even a hammock tent. Im ready to move on. I really dont want a full on 30 foot camper because I want to be able to use my W200 to tow it one day. Kinda of a Expedition truck.
Ive been looking at www.expeditionportal.com and many guys build small single axle trailers with kind of  chuck wagon style bottom and fold out tent. I kinda like this but ultimatly im back to being in a tent. Ive considered outfitting a old Military M101A2 trailer and making it into a inclosed offroad trailer. But finding one with the 8 lug bolt pattern at the right price and condition seems to be difficult.
My other option that im really leaning towards is a 13-16 Casita Camper. Single Axle 1-2 people camper. They seem to have a cult following and you can find them pop up on craigslist every once in awhile. Ive also seem them with mild lift and tires which seem to let them go down most dirt trails.
My other option which is not really practicle or cost effective is a RV. Ive been on the look out for a 60's-70's Travco that i could drop a cummins in and use that to tow my dodge around to offroad adventures. But Like I said, not really practical or cheap.

Have any of yall built Offroad trailers or campers?
