2000 Dodge Truggy

You need a Klune V for this project......

What do you think my final gear ratios would be? Maybe double snail slow or something. ;)

Sweet build!! Can't wait to see it in pics and on the trail!

Pulled the motor and waiting for some heads to be delivered before I send out the block. Looking for 6,600 rpms and HP.

The body has not seen the sawzall or shears yet but the front bumper, 3rd row seats and front quarter panels have been unbolted. Relocating the battery tonight!

sounds cool. you plan on tubing it out, exocaging or just full bodied? how close to stock wheelbase are you going to be? your desired width might be hard. butch is at 90-92" with his hubs flipped in with 42's on his (unfortunately 4" narrower than my wide ass pig). his wheels are backspaced just enough for his hub to be just inside the wheel.

What is his rims backspacing and width? I am looking at 16.5-10 rims with 4'' backspacing and hubs flipped. Hoping to get 90" from that.

don't you have 2 run 20" rims when you flip your hubs, for clearance

[94Dodge Truggy]

See.

nah, there is nothing really to clear, unless you are running wheel brakes. even then i have seen it done with 17" wheels.

my hubs will be flipped, and i am running 16.5" hummer wheels.

[mckeddie]

stock hummer width, with centers he made. the center of the wheel is 3" front lip of the wheel. i lied, his hubs are flipped out. he backspaced them to where there was about an inch of clearance to the drive flange (width of drive flange will be the same no matter which way you flip the hub, that will be your problem with width i think. he is exactly 7'6" wide or 92" for the mathematically challenged.

where did you get your rockwells? i know of a set for sale that are basically identical to your specs, just wondering if they were the same ones or not.

[94Dodge Truggy]

Rockwells from the 50's to 90's are the same maybe even earlier and later. I bought 4 trucks within the last 2 years and have a few now.

[mckeddie]

i forgot to mention, the reason he didn't end up flipping his in, is because of clearance issues with his airshocks. his front tubework was already done from when he had my 60's under it, and he didn't want to have to redo it all to make new upper mounts.
