Show us your 4x4's!!!

[hatersaurusrex]

Any of you guys into four-wheelin?  Just have a nice 4x4 you like to ride high in?  Share your pics!

I'll start with my Jeep and Ram (which really needs a lift and some tires)

[ACUDANUT]

Nice Jeep. Ram. Well, never mind.

[Slowpoke]

My daily driver 4X4 and my poor put upon J10, been thru 3 trans , two transfer cases, and its fourth 360 is currently down and out.

99 Ram 2500. Everybody knows what they look like.

[Scaregrabber]

All original, matching #'s, chalkmarks in place.

[ACUDANUT]

We had a thread on this before.

[hatersaurusrex]

I did a search before posting, and I came up with one thread about ATV's and one about big 4x4's from 2 years ago.  Life is too short to be so passive-agressive, bro.

[hatersaurusrex]

Cooter, is this your truck?

[Bandit72]

Here's mine. Not worth a shit in the mud....

Mine, and it's a Dodge !

[twodko]

That's a beaut! Did you do the restoration? Are you in a
military vehicle resto group? There is a very active group
of military vehicle restorers in my area. They show several
vehicles every year at local shows.
M4 Sherman, Dodge like yours, couple half tracks - one with
a quad Ma Duce anti-aircraft gun, command car, jeeps, trailers,
Duce and a half, ambulance and a couple pristine mules.

Always big draws at events.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Its got AWD....still counts no?   

[twodko]

'course it counts especially with the hidden roll bar and fore/aft winches.

Here's mine just got it less then a mouth ago, beside it is my old truck

[six-tee-nine]

1974 Mercedes Unimog 404

zero luxury, no power steering, 4 wheel drums, ridiculously noisy, BUT...... fully lockable drivetrain, very low gears, big tires and portal axles all come standard in one of these and they are dirt cheap over here.

No need to tell you that even 100% bone stock you leave alot of modified 4X4's for dead when things get nasty....

If only they were dirt cheap over here - found a '70 in St. Louis a month or so ago for the low price of - 15K.

Wife has an '08 Commander - best thing Jeep has put out in years.   Sad they discontinued them.  Should have done a Rubicon Hemi edition if you ask me.  One day when they're dirt cheap I'm gonna build exactly that - solid axles and all

[six-tee-nine]

I pulled this one out of a barn for little less than $ 700.

Poured fresh gas in it, bled the brakes and drove it home.  OK I admit I had to put another $ 1500 or so in it to get it road worthy as it it right now.

On the other hand you guys have affordable 2nd gen Chargers compared to our pricetags....

I was referring to my post earlier sorry.....

[Tilar]

This one is just an old truck that we take to the mud runs just for fun. Rusty but in pretty good shape mechanically.

The second one is an Amish guy that decided he wanted to play in the mud too.

And here's a brute that gets the crap worked out of it.

So very true. The horse was the original 4x4.

Good looking Blazer. 102k is barely broke in.   That Suburban I posted earlier will more than likely be in Carlisle next month and probably turn over 215k on the way, and I wouldn't be afraid to take off for San Diego tonight in it.... other than the fact that I really don't want to go to San Diego.

That's great!!  I had dreams of towing the charger with the blazer, but it would most likely wag all over the highway!  Love these old trucks!

I usually just lurk here, but after seeing your mog I had to post mine:


'82 Geländewagen 300GD RHD

[hatersaurusrex]

That G-Wagen looks clean - how much do those run nowadays?

[nihil]

That G-Wagen looks clean - how much do those run nowadays?

Thanks. Prices vary wildly. You can pick up a decent beater W460 for $6k, or slide into the new AMG 6x6 for $600k, there's a G for every budget.

[six-tee-nine]

G-wagen's are incredible value for money.

And imo one of the best 4X4's out of the box. they dont need alot of mod's to outrun other stuff.
if i were to trade my mog for a less truck type 4X4 it would most def be a G. i'd love to have a late '90's OM 606 powerded model. Ideal superturbodiesel engine

BTW nihil real nice one you got there.

[nihil]

I can't speak for the new ones (I can't afford them), but the older ones hold their value quite well too.

Agreed, for a factory 4x4 it's hard to beat a G. I've been through a few built Jeeps and other random 4x4's, and last winter this thing proved its prowess beyond any doubt. I was plowing over/through 4ft piles of snow and ice to get around people in their jacked up pickups and Jeeps who were sliding around or stuck. Pulled a couple folks out of their predicaments, but pride got the best of the others I offered assistance to.

I was actually looking for a Pinzgauer 710k or 712k when I found my G, but am quite pleased with how things ended up. Mine is a N/A OM617 currently, and I'm looking for an OM617A (turbo version of same engine for those who don't know). I've heard great things about the OM606, but I'm looking for a more simple/straightforward swap, and keeping the no electronics appeal. I know you can swap the mechanical OM603 pump onto the 606, but being my first diesel out of the the 30 or so cars I've owned, I want to ease into it and keep stock part availability. When I find a donor engine, I've got a 711.113 5sp to go in it as well.

BTW nihil real nice one you got there.

Danke!

[six-tee-nine]

Luckily OM 617a's are findable in the US due to the emission regulations of that time.

Over here they are real hard to find and bring big money when they do appear for sale. They are very strong engines wich are easy to maintain and when fueled and boosted they also bring awesome power.

And yes the OM606 can be used with a inline pump from the 603 or even better the OM603da35 (wich was the 3.5liter version of the 603 mostly found in the S350 or G350 turbodiesel)
Swap the pump elements for 7.5mm elements and add a Holset HX40 turbocharger with a large intercooler and these things shake up to 550 horsepower out of their sleeve.

If you consider an engine swap make sure to peek here :

[ACUDANUT]

I have a Diesel, but I don't make it smoke or try to risible a big rig. Come on, a straight in line 6 small banger is not something to brag about. 

[garner7555]

I have a Diesel, but I don't make it smoke or try to risible a big rig. Come on, a straight in line 6 small banger is not something to brag about. 

I have had a few 5.9 cummins and when tuned right they are something to brag about. My current truck will spin all 4 35" mud tires on asphalt when hammered on take off in 4 high and also get 25+ mpg when driven easy. In stock form you are correct, nothing special, but when tuned right they are awesome!   

[BlaineKaiser450]

Stock it was a pig, but now my truck makes right under 400 horsepower and 800 ft/lbs and lights up 6 35 inch mud tires in a 4 high boosted launch. When you double the stock power of a diesel motor, smoke tends to happen  And before anyone says it, I am not one of those douchebags who rolls coal all over everyone every time they hit the street, I can count on my fingers how many times a sizable cloud has come out of my exhaust on a public road.

Holy crap.....  1 trip to the MATS and anyone would know that 400 HP from a Cummins isn't at all difficult..

No foul here at all.....

This is hilarious !!
 I dynoed my stock 89 Cummins as in no parts added at all , the muffler fell off & got straight piped & I added a K&N filter to the stock air cleaner box , no low restriction high flow A/C ,  I did some minor modifications to the pump ,  & it made 310 HP & 930 ft LBs torque at the rear tires , the engine had over 400,000 miles on it & averaged 27 MPG steady at 7400 lbs , this was dead stock . My 2000 truck was modified & made my 89 feel stock it had so much more power but I never dyned that one .
On the same day while I was at the dyno I witnessed a 2000 truck with twin turbos , different injection pump , chipped , larger High flow injectors & 5" exhaust , he had ported the head & added head studs he may have changed the cam I am not sure , he cranked out 1800 ft lbs torque [measured] with smoke coming off the tires as the tires were spinning on the dyno rollers so the true power could have been easily over 2000 ft lbs & probably around 600 - 700 hp , he had 6 large guys & a gen set loaded in the box to try to get a true reading without spinning the tires but it still overpowered the traction + this was his daily driver .
Never underestimate the power of a well designed diesel , Cummins rules with power & efficiency , Cats are Great too but have pretty much given up with highway engines & light duty applications , Detroit I have driven & I like them but they are far from efficient , Internation made some awesome engines over the years . The light duy applications have a lot more choices & a lot of them are not efficient making decent torque but with similar milage to gas engines but diesels can last 1,000,000 kilometers or even 1,000,000 miles if they are maintained well . While I am not really a VW fan they make killer milage  getting around 80 mpg with decent power sure makes a silly expensive Prius look stupid getting close to double the mpg without hybrid / battery tech which pollutes horrendously during construction & disposal . Way off toptic here !!
Personally right now I am more fascinated with building a killer Cummins 5.9 or 8lt or an International 466 over building a worked 500" Hemi , I just have not figured out what chassis to put it in when I have it built , maybe an older Dodge truck with a fully boxed frame or a rat rod type build or a military Power wagon .
Oh & as Chris said Troy owns the site LOL

[Chryco Psycho]

Oh Yeah I could close a highway with all the black smoke if I lugged the engine at low RPM & floored it but it ran clean under normal conditions & I was able to tune out a lot of the smoke without hurting power significantly

[toocheaptosmoke]

My 1984 scrambler, was my first car and still probably my favorite.    Started off bone stock and worn out.






1984 toyota sr5 xtra cab, previous daily beater, now retired to yard duty.




Also got an '85 for parts, although it does kind of run and drive on its own.




Guess I could also count my '96 ram 2500, 318 5 speed.  The winch has come in handy for more than just shrub removal.   




1982? BJ42 diesel landcruiser that I revived from the junk pile and drive when I'm at a friend's place up north.  That thing is a tank!




Wannabe 4x4??

[hatersaurusrex]

84 HiLux was the pinnacle if you ask me.  Xtracab + SR5 is just icing on the cake

[440]

I was the one who started the other big 4x4 thread 2 years ago.

Here's mine, nothing has changed in the last 10 years. I love this thing.

[ACUDANUT]

I'll Stick with my V8 7.3 P/S rated at 900 HP.
