Owners Name & City- Matt Klouzek
Make, Model & Year of Vehicle- 1997 Dodge Ram 1500
Engine- 5.9L Magnum V-8
Transmission- 47RE Auto
T-Case- NP 231
Axles- Dana 44 front, chromo shafts, HD U-joints / 9.25 rear, welded (for now... Rockwells soon to come!!!)
Suspension- Owner made custom long arm front with 10" Full throttle suspension coils, homemade limiting straps, 14" travel shocks / Alcan customs leaves rear, homemade shackle flip with 3/8" owner fabbed boomerang shackles, 14" travel shocks
Wheels and Tires- BRAND NEW 15/42 x 15R PitBull Rockers on 15x10 Rockcrawler Steelies, custom BS
Winch- working on it, they are expensive!!!
Favorite Trails- Any of the Moab trails, especially Hell's Revenge, Prichett Canyon, Kane Creek Canyon, and Golden Spike
Other- I made front and rear bumpers out of T-1 armor plate so they are literally BULLETPROOF!!! Also I dovetailed the bed so the tailgate has a 30" openning. I have done all of the work on the truck myself with basic tools in a garage! Lots of time and effort and even though my parent's don't approve of it, I still love what I do and will keep building Rockcrawlers!!!
Next project is what I am calling the "MEGA-REX". Based on Sprueitt's T-REX 6x6, it will be based on a late model 2500 Ram Quad-cab, diesel, short bed. 3 steering rockwells, 49" IROKS, body narrowed 12-16" from grill to tailgate, etc!! Should be a blast!!!! Stay tuned for upcoming build thread!!!!!
