As much as I love Jeep's, I'm really happy to see you building the Ramcharger.
Can’t loose with 42s
But you can lose.
I second this, I have 42s for my buggy 😂
I prefer 44 DDD
Lose* 😊
42s if that all you got but if 42s look this good what would 48s or 50s look like🤙🏼🇨🇦
Go big, you both know being able to roll over big obstacles with ease is the way to go here.
I remember someone on the video in Moab pointed out that the big side windows were a probable fail. I never had a problem with them in my 87 Ramcharger, but I never went to the extremes that this one will see. I would recommend putting some additional window tint film on them or a giant decal. That way, if they get broken the broken pieces stay in place, and your gear won't be compromised. BTW, I had a 98 F450 Super Duty and it had a Dana 80 in the rear and a 60 in the front.
Multiple sheet metal tie ins from the roll cage to the cab should also prevent that
Yeah I think they were meaning that they would possibly get broken on some of the trails that are maybe skinnier during the Ultimate Adventure part if they win.
@@fenton9620 ah that makes sense too haha. I'm not a skinny trail person
I would take them out for the trail and put them back after the event. So maybe Rudy can design or borrow some way to make them removable so they can be left behind for trail rides and overlanding👽
Supercharge it, Lone Wolf Mcquade-like
ok now that i've seen the rocker panels cut them off and boat side it with plate then you won't need chassis mounted sliders. i was hoping you'd run 44" tyres but 42's are close enough. i'm hoping you won't narrow the front clip and grill because it looks good.
It would be cool if you ended up with a Morvair level recovery rig from this thing.
Wow! The color saturation, depth of field, jump cuts... Did Robert Rodriguez or Quinton Tarrentino stop by?
I've been avoiding watching any of your Ramcharger videos since I once owned a mint condition `87 with the same gold color in 1998. I lifted it, added 33" tires, added a Warn winch bumper and fabricated a roof rack for it. It was incredibly clean and pretty. Wish I could post a photo of it.
I traded it in on a Honda Civic to save on gas when commuting to work and have regretted it ever since. One of the dumbest automotive trades I have ever done.
Seeing your Ramcharger build video alerts has brought back painful memories, lol.
Everyone has made stupid trades and if there was time travel we would know because a lot of people would have there old cool rides back. My list is long, El Camino, 90 two door Cherokee and matching Wrangler hard top both lifted, 8.1 four door Alison transmission 4×4 Chevy. Ordered from the factory.
I have seen Samurais with 42 and they look good, you just need to get rid of all the sheetmetal necessary so that they fit and don't rub, and with no suspension lift so you can keep your COG low
44X18.5XR15 on my First gen. Dana 70 and kingpin Dana 60. 4:88 gears (welded rear) is an excellent combination. Plus if you pull em out of a early 70s dodge they bolt right up.
So great to see you on a project that will give you great content. Not that you dont already supply me with that but it means more! You have consistently climbed your way to the top of the list of my favorite show to watch. I really enjoy your style of presentation and now teamed up with holly i can't wait for the next . i hope your rewarded with huge growth as your channel really is going places and your very deserving of all that comes your way. Thank you for what you do.
42” Sexy Beast !!!!
Could tell from the stock off-road Moab run that it needed more tire and 42's should do the trick! Cool build! Something special about those Ram Chargers.
Ram Chargers always looked great to me. Can't wait to see this build progress!
I think the 42s will work, since most of the wheel wells are rusted through, my only negative is trying to hold onto chrome trim. The trim makes the RAM Charger stand out. Ps, whatever you do do NOT get rid of the hood ornament!😊
Just put on the chrome mud flairs 🤣👽
@@marklar7551 Or change those ugly beadlocks for some awesome 32" chrome spinners! 😁🤣
I would definitely upgrade the axels and tires and definitely a hemi swap no matter what
Big 42" for sure
From years of watching the Ultimate adventure, I’d say that 40’s would actually be the minimum size tires you’d want to run, so 42’s should work. I know someone was running 37’s and he kept getting high centered because they go in some really challenging places.
Those are some massive tires and wheels! I think it will loke awesome
42's, trick is cut the wheel wells, for me...trim don't make it run faster, it's eye candy, but on some trucks looks GR8. But.....sacrifices have to be made for function n purpose...👍🤠👍
If you got them Rudy get out the cutting wheel love it holley
You two make an interesting fun team to watch. Hope to see more collaboration..
Custom axles is in keeping with the old Dodge Fargo Truck Company. Back in the 50's through 70's you could order a custom configured just about any way you wanted by just adding extra lines to the build form and writing in what you wanted even if it wasn't on the menu.
The write in's on my 1969 Swept Side Long Bed Power Wagon included a Military 8 Ton Big Spool PTO Winch and a W600 drive train (they had to shorten the axle tubes so the wheels wouldn't stick out too far) along with a 4,800 lb clutch, 12 inch brakes and 12 leafs in the springs riding on 16 ply 16.5 inch tires. With body side moldings, tinted glass and air conditioning the total sticker price including all the custom mods was around $3,500. What stood out was with all the mods including the big 440 cu in engine turning it into basically a 10 Ton Pickup Truck they chose to forgo the power steering and requested a manual steering box. When the front axle automatically locked you better have had a good grip on the steering wheel or it would spin in your hands an give you quite a burn on your hands where you were gripping it. You learned pretty quickly "Don't hook your thumbs!" and that in rough terrain you should keep the drivers window rolled all the way down.
Dodge really was pretty flexible back in the day about letting you have it your way.
Best!
Boat side the rust out and run the 42s you'll have the RADest Hollie charger on the planet. There's plenty of room in those wheel wells when you open em up and tube fender fabercoble em back
My ol k5 took 38s with fender shaving but was over lifted and way sketchy on the off camber trails of NY Pa. Keep it beefy but low as possible. I think is was said before but worth hearing again, big back windows need a way to keep them from shattering, tint or custom full stickers, or go all in chop the top and rag the ol beast.
I have a great feeling that this build is going to turn out amazing, a great truck to start with and two individuals who love working on cars(trucks). I can’t wait to see the results. As for the wheels and tires GO BIG
The 42s are a beautiful look, but for highway safety, I would think a more modest 38 would be just fine. It would fit the wheel well better too!
42” rules
Having seen previous Off-road Adventures, I would go for the Bigger tires. Some of the terrain they will see is no joke.
Anything bigger than a 33 requires cutting the wheel well so may as go right to the 42
Ram Chargers bring back a lot of old family memories. my father had a few throughout my childhood,
one he had was converted to a mud truck, Black on black 44s with a 360 V8. he called it his "War Pig" lol.
Now this was in the late 80's and early 90's. that truck never got stuck ever and he was always pulling others from the mud pit.
A 1/2 mile pit on a pole line road in the mountains here in northeast PA. Fun times :) and good times.
42’s all the way! Lots of cutting will make them fit nice and keep it low 😍
You're getting better at this Rudy. Keep going.
Rudy my vote is definitely for you and Hollie in my opinion you two deserve to be there I know you two would do good. I think the bigger tires would be a major improvement and help you guys out a lot
THis is going to be one awesome build!! I love the older style trucks and this one's going to be great!!
Love how it looks guys. It's coming along nicely so far guys. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friends. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Fab On. Weld On. Keep making. God bless.
I can't wait to see you make this RAD RAMCHARGER! It's going to win! I'm glad you removed the weak axles. Definitely do 42's or maybe 44's! ❤
Cut the rockers out and replace them with rock sliders.
Love the big tyres and moving the axil forward to accommodate them will be a huge improvement for it off road.
Pulling out front in the vote!!!! I personally just keep a browser tab open on my phone with the OnX vote page and visit that puppy everyday…..sometimes you have to sign out and sign back in to vote but I’ll struggle through it for you guys. 😜
ALWAYS GO BIG !
Brings back so many memories .. had a 1986 in the early 1990's loved it looks so sweet with giant tires... STOMPER
Looking good man! I can't wait to see it on the trail
I love how earthy the video is. Lots of fun with cool stuff happening
Glad you wrote down the list wouldn't want to forget
What.. not "Axle la vista" Holly ??? sure go for 42's... we know it was already decided 🙂
42” looks nice 👍 and opening the wheel well up will get rid of some rust 😁
A cool build! Can't wait to see the finished product!
Dodge ram charger is literally my favorite vehicle ever. Had a 85’ back on 00’ loved it. Awesome back seat etc. 😊
This win will be fun to follow. Good luck Rudy.
I love those old vane style wheels, it will be a shame they can't be used on a project like this.
Turbines are sweeet! Grew up loving them on the General Lee and the A-Team van.
Great content! Keep em coming!
Can't wait to watch the upgrades Goin into this build series ❤❤
Go big! Looks good and more clearance
Those 42's look good rudy
I think the 42” tires look awesome!!! Hopefully, they perform as good as they look!
Would like to see more videos on this channel. I know you are a very busy guy; I'm just letting you know. If you put out more vids, I would watch every one of them. I'm sure I am not the only one that would watch either. Awesome channel! 👍👍
Yes on 42s that looks awesome will climb obstacles better and more ground clearance
Good you helping Holley!
And so it begins, looking forward to this build.
Like the cool closet up shots.
42s look great
Looking forward to seeing your build ..
Great job Rudy.....lookin good....cam work great as well
Gotta have those 42's on there!! 🤘 That looks mean 💪
So I had a 79 Ramcharger, Macho Edition (yes, it's true) back in the 80's and early 90's. Not sure if they changed things, but the brake system was always a bit weak. So was the steering.
I'd say go as big a tire as you want. Cut those fender wells. Don't let those Ramcharger "Purists" tell you otherwise. They were OK trucks and those later years are even less special.
I'm guessing it has the 318. Some came with the 360 which also had a better transmission.
Sweet high res cameras. The detail is fantastic.
I built a 84 ram charger when I was 18. 10” lift on 40’s with a 383 big block. Same colour even. Cool truck
my dad had one when I was 10 freaking loved it 40s , he had the big 80s style kc light bar I think it was like 5 or 6 6ich circle lights with florescent pink kc covers 🤘🏽
Yes definitely go the 42s. Go big or go home. LoL God bless

Definitely at least 40" tires! Maybe you should get those Bead Grip wheels instead of the bead locks and save a bit of money?
Suspension too!!
Tires; go with tires size of Morvair, Mater or Merlin's rig in the Wrecker games. You want to go anywhere off road, these seem to be the ones. These rigs all get trailered to distant locations, but I guess the question is; 'what are you intending to do with this rig? ' Love your channel and watching you develop your following with great content.
I'm sure you're gonna get the ball joint delets??? Also, I think they make a gusset kit for the inner C's. Barns diff cover for the Win too1
Ya'll do love those Super Duty axles!
When 20 years younger. I took a 72 extended cab Ford 3/4 ton pick-up and put 50's all the way around it, they had no problem fitting.
I'm voting for yaw because of the rig and so far the route you going even though I think bigger tires I will say this was not easy to do because I like all of yaw the truck won me over I use to have 79 Cherokee cheif when it was still AMC and now 95 chevy Tahoe
Big tires on them looks awesome.
Yes 42’s !!!! I have an ‘87 4Runner sitting on 42’s :D
38-40 is as big as I ever go on a D/W Dodge. I don’t like removing inner fenders is the biggest reason.
The stock axles are good to about 35” tires for those that don’t know. Upgraded to chromoly shafts they will handle 37-38s. But the cost of the chromoly shafts can be as much as getting a set of 1 tons. Either way you need to rebuild them unless your existing axles are know to have been done.
Awesome video looks like a cool bild
42's yes!!! they look great on the ram charger
Very good choice on the axles that Ford Dana 60 is a tough tough unit. This is six in a row.Jim from Kennerdell, Pennsylvania
Build the heck out of it big tires,gears,posi ,the works can't waite to see it done I'm a big dodge fan I've built tons of them
A little fender trimming and 42s Baby!!!
I definitely can’t weight to see more on the build for sure!!! And some may think that 15,000.00$ is plenty for a build but let me tell you that I probably have close to just 10,000.00$ just in my axles and rims and tires on my 1969 Chevy 1Ton 4x4 build that I’ve been working on for quite some time now!!! The only thing I might change on mine is just a little bit lower gear setup then what I previously set them up with at a 4.56 gear setup!!! But they definitely work for now and turn my 39” boggers over pretty good!!! But have the room for the 44” tires if I decide to go that big??? I definitely love the looks of it know though!!!!
A great video again, coming on a treat.
100% on the 42s, that will look amazing!!
I would keep the tires around 37 to 40 inch max on this. If you are building for UA you will have significant road time with this rig.
Driver drop axle on a passenger drop truck? New tcase or gunna cut the tubes?? Lol this is gunna be interesting
Interesting project !
Good Lawd dat's a BIG GUY back there!!!!
Remember as kids going out with uncle in snow with 9 cusions shovel couple propane bottles 6pack water food and tarp for last ditch and we drive up mountain trails maybe on 33max just a beater and had some great memories in it I grew up liking the but had many broncos due to top he was a diehard Mopar fan r.i.p keep up work can't wait to see it done
So sick. Love it
I’m happy you all are filming. It seem Dirt Lifestyle has retired or stopped making videos.
Rudy - Yeah man!!!! I’ve been waiting for you to start something like this project!!! I’m rooting for you with this channel Rudy. This build will have us watching for more.
42" for sure
42s will essentially bring home the win. It all comes down to how well you can apply traction to the ground. It's ok to cut fenders to make room 😎👍❤️
42's look Great!
Go big
Axles, with lockers 2 shifter transfer case and 37 inch tires. A 4 inch lift would help
Well done😊
Interesting to see what u end up with, I like those old trucks!
Let’s go and vote every day keep them in first place 👍
Love Ultimate Adventure!!
I have the same Western Wheel rims on my old Firebird lol
