    91 MITSUBISHI MONTERO LS is MINE!

    By design, the Monteros are difficult to lower. Did it go to someone good, then? Nice looking.

    Dual battery setup?

    Read the read. You could also use a lawnmower battery, depending on your instrument needs. I mocked this up in my Ramcharger, but I'm not pressed for space in the engine bay. Alternately, you may have enough room for a Group 27 battery, slightly larger physically than a Group 24.

    Show me your Raider

    My 1987 Dodge Raider has been the best of my 65 cars trucks and trailers. I put about 100,000 miles on this little $1,000 beastie. My work has been earthwork construction for many years, and Roxy served the bill awesomely. For recreation, too! Russell no 'a' in RXIN HED :)

    My new '87 Ramcharger build thread

    My first work this month, save for putting in a battery, was to further Ryan as a tow beast. He needed a hitch: I sourced a receiver hitch from a '90 Dodge 1-ton service truck. I'll be going back to the parts yard and grab the 4.10 geared Dana 60HD and the 11k pound rear springs for the free...

    Heavy Duty Bumpers for Expedition/Overland Use: Practical Necessity or Superfluous an

    A Ramsey front bumper with REP8000 winch came with my new Ramcharger; however, I finally have a chassis for my Iron Horse with folding crane. I have a set of sliders from my Montero parts bin that are the perfect length, too. I am going to convert the 1/2-ton suspension and axles to Dana 60s and...

    More variety of parts for the Ranger in the aftermarket. Less funny looking with big tires.

    Will It Roll?

    A jumping truck will not likely carry a load of drywall. Fix up a truck, get a trailer for the load.

    Think: 1975 Dodge extended cab shortbed 4x4 dually with a 440, 4-speed, dual D70s, cab and frame fuel tanks, enough lift for 35s, and a 'camping' outfit service body. Paint would be the green / white two-tone of that year's Adventurer model, black and white interior. Not a fancy truck, but a...
