Re: JEEP Rock Climbers - New Caney, TX
I have given up on my old Ford F-150. Frame is shot after over 10 yrs of wheeling it. I have replaced the cab and box 3 times, countless engines, D-44 front is built to the hilt with nothing but the best and now the 9"rear axle wont stay together. I bought a 94 S-10 truck with a Vortec 4.3 and i am stuffing 2 steer 2 1/2 ton Rockwell axles under it with 44" tires. I plan on going with 49" Irocks down the road.

Re: JEEP Rock Climbers - New Caney, TX
The pic of my Ford was here in upstate NY and the others were taken this October in Rouches Creek, Penn. We have started traveling for better wheeling and RC is the closest with good terrain. Perigon was very good but closed now. Down there it has alot of traction, here in upstate NY we have alot of rock but it is smooth rock with mud and moss. I didnt bother taking the Ford to RC this year, i took it last year and broke it badly withen 3hrs so i didnt want to waste a trip this year.

Re: JEEP Rock Climbers - New Caney, TX
This is my Wifes 1984 CJ7. We swapped a 1998 fuel injected motor into it along with a 5 speed transmission from a dodge cummins truck This picture is on the aftershock trail in Johnson Valley.
![]() This is my 1993 ford ranger. I have swapped the axles, installed duel transfercases, a winch and a roll cage. Pictures are from truckhaven near the salton sea. Last edited by RockRanger; 12-28-2008 at 11:51 AM. |
