Hey everyone, I really hope someone on here can help me out with where I can find some specs on the green ram (1500?) that was in the 2004 Peterson's off road Ultimate adventure. you can see the truck in they vid below: I'm curious as to lift and tire size) I currently have a 2001 Ram 1500 QC/SB with the 5.9 in it and its SLOWLY becoming a designated wheeler and this one REALLY caught my eye. Or if you can just give me a good ball park as to lift and tire size and what axles they are probably running I'd be very thankful

 

No clue but if money waant a factor biggest lift available with all required parts 44" tires and Rockford 2.5 ton axles would make for a hell of a wheelin truck

 

You can easily just search on 2004 Ultimate Adventure.

Green mustard w/e turd I've not seen before. Appears to be running basic Tuff Country 3" lift since the control arms are using the factory brackets. Edit: nope 5 lug so its most likely the D44.

3" body lift. I personally have disdain for boggers. lol



The truck to really pay attention to is the Blue One by ramv. A very capable rig and driver.



Here is his build thread, some pictures seem to have been lost. You'll find a picture thought that shows the UA sticker on the windshield.

It's not Rockford its Rockwell.

 

Looks like a sweet truck either way. Keep us updated with your progress.

 

Thanks guys. I'm thinking for right now about a long arm lift (5 or 7 idk), dove tailed, e-lockers and a cage with some bogglers. can decide what ones yet. I really like the green one I think mainly for the dove tail. What size tires are those? Also if that is a Dana 44 front then what is the biggest tire you can run without snapping shafts left and right?

 

For a D44, 35's with proper gears is pushing it.

 

Dont spend the money building a dana 44 for a fullsize truck. Upgrade to a dana 60/60 or 60/70 set and you will be much better off running big tires. Then you can build those.

 

I've not broke a d44 shaft yet on my 35's. Now that I've said that I'll prolly break one. I've put 3 sets of axle joints in it though in 3 years. It's awaiting set 4 now. Wheeling smartly goes a long way too.

 

That's just a lot of front end parts to be replacing all the time... Sure its possible, but with big tires, stronger is better. Not saying it can't be done on the 1/2 tons, I just wouldn't want to.

 

Ok that sounds good guys. Where is it recommended that I get a Dana 60 from? Also if I were to ****** one from the local scrap yard from a 2nd gen 3500 would it bolt right up or are the brackets different? Lastly, does anyone know of a good build on some rock sliders for our trucks and/or skid plates? I have a sport, not the off road package
