Build story
Howdy there Guys and Gals,
Im Duddie and this is my 1977....78.....92.....83........ Ram Charger aka The Death Charger! Because so many Clapped out of Dodges had to die in order to build it.
It started its life as $600 special that my buddy picked up for me and has devolved into a endless pit where old Dodges go to die....but it does produce large amounts of FUN with hints of regrets from time to time.
My goal with this build was to take all these random Dodge parts I had, sprinkle in some X brand parts, and make a Fun rock crawler that drives like a Tractor and Rides like a Cadillac ! And aside from the front drive driveshaft and external locking hubs releasing their magic every so often, I would say Ive accomplished just that!
Ive wheeled this thing from Central Texas to Moab Utah and it has never let me down..........except that time the Injector Pump decided to divulged all of its secrets in Moab but that was quickly repaired with two tubes of grey pookie, a package of diaper pads, and a bag of zip ties...... worked semi-flawlessly ....
Or that time the Cummins Power elected to see how far the front suspension could stretch releasing the front drive shafts from its safe place which resulted in twisted splines...... but again that was easily and most professionally repaired with grinder, hand file, limiting strap, and a self imposed obliviousness to the problem...... Works Flawlessly......plus or minus.....
Basically my Deathcharger is Clapped out Dodge that spews out Fun and Adventure!!!.......With only a Hint of regret
