4x4s and Wheeling Rigs...

I've got buddies that have 465s and are converting to t350 or 400... Way more control when you're crawling... Most of the buggy guys are going the same route... With the doubler, that gives a 4:1 in the t-case... I've got 4:56s in the axles...

I've drove Blazers with doublers and the stick or auto, the gearing is plenty low with the auto...Yeah, the 465 has lower gears... But, you can stop and control yourself better with the auto... Especially if you're about to flop on your side...

[Hvbuzz]

Thats a very nice looking dodge!! 8) Who swapped the 440? That would have to be a real runner, right up to the gas station.

 

[Abbott-SKO]

That's a nice looking pickup Timbuk.

[Papabear-SKO]

Here's a few I've built over the last 10 years

 

[Papabear-SKO]

And the current "wheelers" The dodge: 4" lift, duel shocks all around, E-lockers, 4:56 gears, 36" all terrains, 9000 lb. winch front and rear, full interior cage, and all the little off road goodies. The Toyota: 3" lift, 295's, factory locker in rear, E-locker in front,rock rails, bushwackers, and a "system" that will vibrate your testicles numb Both are used for everyday drivers and Search & Rescue (It's a tax deduction thing, Till the Feds take that away also.) And when all else fails.........Polaris: 2" lift, 14" rims, 27"swampers, winch F&R, sliders, swapable rack system, full armor underneath, aux. lighting, 45 watt county radio, and a new seat cover every three years from the pucker factor

lovin the quad with the bling wheels and the stude must have been fun!

 

[Papabear-SKO]

Hey Timbuk, My BC buddy. Those big wheels on the quad make it kind of squirrley on the top end but it will fling softball sized clumps of mud in the air, and on the driver.
The stude was a challange. A dent in every square 6". I worked with an "Old time" body man who taught me the dying art of leading body panels. The sheet metal was thick enough to actually stick weld on. It got a lot of looks and compliments when it was done and driving around. Traded it for a 78 Z-28/T-top. That ws a mistake. :?

 

[CAMO-MONSTER]

hey timbuk my other chevy is a 1970 c10 with the stock 350 q-jet and sm465 with a roof to.

that gmc of timbuk's and my chevy's you can weld on to cause i had a 67 c10 longbox fleetside that i fild the trim holes on with a wirefeed.

 

[dirtygoat]

Picked up a 1980 Jeep Cherokee for my daughters 18th Brithday present...

I wont be all crazy like my Blazer, but it will eventually get a lift and some 33s...

She's really excited...

 

[Hvbuzz]

Very nice. I would like to have one. However, I don't think there is one left in Iowa, that's not rusted out.

 

[CAMO-MONSTER]

i wish i still had pics of my old 72 wagoner. i had spring over and a 4" lift in all 8-10" lift with 17-40-15s and a1968 455 olds th400 with a dana 20 t-case and dana 44s

 

[Steve-SKO]

Here is my Series III Land Rover. I put a winch on it three years ago and started getting it muddy.

 

[dirtygoat]

Love the Series III...

 

[Crisco-SKO]

Here is one of my 71 blazer on the last decent wheeling trip I took.

Thought I would add an ACTION pic to the thread!!

Here in NY there really isn't much land to wheel on, and none of it's public.
But hey, thats why I bought my bus! So I can move back to COLORADO where the real fun can be had!

This pic is a few years old. It now has one tons, detroits, 40's, a ramsey 9000lb winch, and a real soft top.
I have a very nice double wall top for sale for a first gen blazer if anyone is interested.
