Was wasting time on youtube and I found the T-Rex Dodge 6x6 [just
search it, there are tons of vids]
The basic concept was a V10 Ram with an active 6x6 suspension. I know
it would be hella work but could this concept work in smaller scale,
with say a Dakota as the base vehicle? With a smaller base, maybe a HO
4.7 might suffice or maybe a 4BT? What about the axles? Would you have
to run 2.5T Rockwells or could you run something smaller? The body
might just be the easy part, taking a couple of the short, quad cab beds
and grafting them together.... I want one...right after I get my own
RipSaw [youtube it too...]
On a couple of the vids there are comments to the effect that the V10
makes almost the same power as the Cummins, but at half the weight, and
half the mileage. That got me wondering, because if I were to ever get
a fullsize I would want more power than my 318, I mean after all, why
bother otherwise?
