04 3rd gen Dodge Ram rock crawler expedition build

[gun45boat]

Thanks for the offer. 20's are way to big of a wheel. But thanks.

I just finished the NO2 install using a ZEX kit specifically made for a dodge Hemi...

I wished I had done this in the beginning!!!!!!!

I hooked it up and jetted it for the 100hp setting, with NGK 1 step colder pugs gap'ed at .30 (16 of the bastards LOL)

Before the build, I could lay about 5ft of rubber empty off a light.

After the build with the extra weight/gear etc and the new gearing, she was still fast, and I could "chirp" the rear tires from a dead stop. But noticeably slower (obviously)

NOW, when I take off it will chirp at first, then when it hits 2500rpm's (thats when the ZEX system comes to life and then BOOM!!!!! the muther ****er spins these ************* tires ALL THE WAY TO THE REDLINE!!!!!!

Best bang for the buck BY FAR..... I never hold it on the button for more than 7 seconds,,,,

an EASY 3 hour install ... If you decide to install the kit, you will be grinning ear to ear.

Lets see how long the Hemi will last with random pushes of NO2 through her system before I break its back

Whats the Katadyn filter I see in a few of the pics?

 

[gun45boat]

I have a on-demand 35 gallon water tank behind the passenger side of the truck used to power up the on-demand hot water heater (propane) on the drivers side of the rig, for taking showers etc. I also have the Katadyne filter system in place and plumbed (on-demand ) from the water tank (powered by the water pump), so I can safely drink water from the tank, if I ever have the need to fill the tank with "unknown" water, or water from a stream etc. Hell, Sometimes I fill the water up from places where the water tastes like ****, (water is good to drink) just tastes like Sulfer or chlorine etc. That filter cleans it right up and has a perfect tasting water when filtered.

Prob. overkill, But it works really well, and didnt add to much weight to the truck.

 

[Black Dog]

Not overkill, better safe than sorry!

a big Gay movie. Messing around at the shop parking lot. No NOX was used.

Wheeled the **** out of the rig, Sustained a busted oil pan with nice size whole (fixed with a hammer and vise grips to get it 100 miles home) and a busted Transmission pan LOL

looks like you may have bent the bump stop on the driver side. I'm guessing this was from too much uptravel? Going to go with skid plate or better bump stop setup?

 

[marshal]

sounds like you need some belly skid action

 

[gun45boat]

Bump stop is straight, It must be from the angle of the picture. The rear skid is built with 1/4" thick steel and spans the entire back half of the vehicle. It is stout as ****, and has taken a BEATING.... During the build, I was going to build a front skid, but thought to myself "there is no way a rock is going to find its way behind my front axle, and infront of the rear skid, TALL enough to hit my f$%KING oil pan" LOLOLOL

GO FIGURE!!!!!!!!!

 

[marshal]

sounds like your truck weighs a lot. IMO id be ditching steel any where i could for aluminum. a 3/8ths 6061-T6 plate would be good replacement for that 1/4" steel and every bit as strong
