Pete M Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 my Dakota RT with the 3.92 ratio was a fun toy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMO413 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 http://www.grimmjeeper.com/gears.html This site is really useful when looking at great ratios. Too deep of a gear and 1st become pointless. And I can't wait to see this thing to come together. Your work is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 1st gear was the best gear with my particular truck! I never got good mpgs when 0-30 was such fun. tire quality starts to really matter though. for a while I had some cheap tires and they were a deathtrap in the rain. for comparison, the tire size was 255/55/r17 and the torque was rated at like 350ftlbs and the ratio was the aforementioned 3.92.

Pete M Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 spied a couple new shots today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awinski Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 Yea the poser shots with the white walls are about all I have for now. Just redid and finalized the front suspension due to changing steering racks and wanting an upgrade. Also currently redoing all of the tube work to make the chassis stronger. I think I'm finally happy with a direction. Have been focused on the house since the weather got nice but planning to spend a lot more time on it this fall/winter. I'd really like to be driving by spring if my bank account will allow it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awinski Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 Yea plan is to hide the tube work in an attempt to get away with driving it for longer. Finally got to put in a few hours this week. Just figuring out how to and start mounting the bedsides but it's getting there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarracudaBlueXJ Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 @AwinskiI've been watching your build on IG for awhile and some how never realized you had a thread on here. I just read through the 5 pages here and it was cool to look over your progress again. I also didn't realize you were in Pennsylvania too, I'm in South/central Pa, maybe I'll see this thing out on the streets in action sometime!

It's definitely nice to have somewhere to send people for all the technical info. Always though forums were important for the real information And yessir I'm right outside of coatesville, pa. I'll definitely try to make it out to all breeds next year and hopefully even a few more shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
