SORT OF FULL SIZE! 04 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 long bed, HEMI engine/ single cab Built by "Huntington Expedition Vehicles" in Orlando Fl
Shortened up the wheelbase 22" and cut 36" off the frame for a total of 118" wheelbase to make it more trail friendly. Ditched the 10.5 AAM axle for the AAM11.5 for the ARB locker option. Front axle is the high pinion dodge 1 ton d-60/9.25 series axle ARB's Front and Rear with 4:56 gears/ Full PSC hydrolic Asist steering with full THuren ROck Steering HS kit. Full Carli 2.5" Lift front and rear Springs with the Biltien Res. 7100 series shocks. 40" Goodyear MTR tires //Brembo Brake upgrade... Full Exo Cage with ROof Top tent with Honda 2000eu Generator/ Dual Optima Red Tops, 12v fridge/freezer with built in Solar panels on roof/ on-demand hot water system with 35 gallon tank with on-demand pressure water for the outdoor shower etc. Custom AC system for Iron Man/ RTT. Full Dual Northern Tool Storage Compartments with custom bed. Fuel tank moved to the top of frame rails behind cab with custom box (Used factory 35 gallon tank for improved range) ROck lights/ 43" LED light bar on top// Dual 10k winches front and rear using synthetic rope// Full custom underbody skids using 1/4" steel All exo cage used 1 3/4" .120 wall CHROMOLY tube with custom rock rails. Removed front fenders and lights, and made custom set up for new lights. Full Lorance GPS system inside. On board air/ etc.etc.
So it has all sorts of spares (front and rear Dshafts/ alternator/ Starter/ water pump/ axles shafts/ ujoints/ etc.etc. Decked with tools. I have been wheeling for over 25 years, and have built over 10 rigs, and after many years of research, I concluded that this Dodge platform, was a choice platform to tuck in fenders, and shave a wheelbase, with a Hemi engine, and 1 ton drivetrain/ and a stupid strong drivetrain and stupid strong frame. And then found a company that actually pulled off this build.
I appreciate the props on the build, but I LOVE the outcome, and am stoked to take it out west to hammer on it again for 5 weeks in April. Then ship it to Patagonia SA in March 2014 to wheel it down there for 2 years
