Glad to see you over here.  It's small but growing.

Thanks for prompting me here, dude... Hope I can find the answers I am looking for

Hey, man! Nice seeing you around here as well... Yeah, it's small, but sometimed small is good too, LOL!!

Thanks!
It's home made... Though I do not like it anymore... Yeah, it looks great, but it's way too heavy (180 pounds+) and it is putting a lot of stress on the front end, especially on the steering. I am planning on building another one, maybe a tubular one. The only think I'll keep is my winch plate

Yikes.  I'd HATE to think what this one weighs, then. 



My front end is getting beefed up like nobody's business though - dual shocks, Borgeson steering, dual stabilizers - and my fingers crossed!

Is that your rig?

It looks mean....

What are the plans for your truck? Sounds like you have everything well thought. Do you have any recent picture?

Here's my thread on it - http://ramcharger.net/index.php/topic,105.0.html

STILL at the shop, as the steering and transmission have yet to be done; that, and now he's building/bending me some rockslider with outriggers and kickouts.  Should look like something AH-NULD would have driven in an action movie 20 years ago when it's done!

Then again, YOURS looks like something AH-NULD would have driven in an action movie 20 years ago! 

[MeMopar]

LOL AH-NULD, hahahahaha....

I wish mine could look like that, or even better, like something Mel Gibson would have driven in "Mad Max", but is way far from that...

What I am looking for is something more like a "mini monster truck" but still capable of going to the trails and make those stupid jeepers look like toys - Man do I hate the jeepers who are always looking my rig over the shoulders and trying to diminish her...

My plans are:
- D60f/D70r - I already have a D70 w/4.88
- 42s or 44s
- mild cam
- fabricate new front bumper
- fabricate new rear bumber w/tire carrier

I have a 3" body lift here and the complete energy suspension body mounts, but I am doubting installing them.

Regarding the sliders, I am very interested in doing the same, so I will follow your thread.

Thanks for the interest, man...

I'm wishing NOW, that I had all my Four Wheeler mags from the late 80's/early '90's again.  Back then, I had a '79 Bronco, but I recall the occasional article on our (then) "NEW Ramchargers," including people doing crazy things, like, taking them on the Moab, and surprising the hell out of Jeepers THEN!  I KNOW we have better aftermarket gear for 'em NOW - I'd just love to see what they were doing then, to see if there are any OLD ideas we might've forgotten/overlooked.

   That puts you up on me, MOST RC owners, and not a few Jeepers right there!!!

A 3" body lift is not unreasonable with 42/44's, but that sounds like a 8" - 9" suspension lift at a minimum, though.  Cam is not a problem, and you know what you want for a front bumper.  These guys DIDN'T make MY multicarrier, but they're who'd I start with first if I had to do it again.

My guy's local, but he's GOOD.  Don't know how much FUTURE RC business it'll drum up for him here in Pittsburgh (I've seen TWO others in my part of town since I began my restoration, and one of them I haven't seen in 4 years now  ), but maybe we can come up with a basic design that will work well for all our trucks.   

I think yours is a good ways there already.  I hope to turn a few heads off-road around here myself, once mine is OFF-roadworthy!

I wouldn't mind using those body mounts.  Mine are full of cracks.  Why are you having second thoughts?
