The Death Charger is so awesome! I love that it is such a Frankenstein build!! ❤️🐞

[@DuddiesAdventure]

Thank you! It's definitely fun to drive! I love your Cherokee! With the modifications yall have done and plan to do, That thing will dang near go anywhere!

[@GoatOffroad]

Duddie's Adventure - Thank you!! We are getting the lockers installed right now. Joe and I crack up when you talk about turning wrenches. We can unbolt and bolt things back together and weld. Joe can lay dimes; when I weld I call it laying worms 🤣. But as far as setting up gears correctly.... we leave that to the professionals! Keep the vids coming!! ❤️🐞

[@DuddiesAdventure]

Yall are doing great and doing great work! I am fortunate enough to have friends that are Professional Mechanics, So I get a lot of help and instruction....... I mean guidance from them HAHA. But I definitely needed help setting up the gears for the Deathcharger, so I completely understand! As far as my welding is concerned........ lets just say I won't zoom in on the welds......... they look good from about 50ft away after three coats of paint have been put on them HAHA

[@GoatOffroad]

Duddie's Adventure - Joe always says your welds are as good as your grinds!!! 🤣

[@DuddiesAdventure]

Truer words have never been spoken!!! HaHa

[@89PWRRAM]

Great Job !! Looking forward o more vid's...

[@DuddiesAdventure]

Thank You! Check out the next episode coming out next monday!

[@DuddiesAdventure]

It was a blast! I hope to go there again one day!

[@bh1478100]

[@DuddiesAdventure]

Thanks for watching

[@noahtroxell8021]

Hell yeah brother. Keep up the content

[@DuddiesAdventure]

Thank You!! Content should roll out every monday!

[@halfwayhousegarage2959]

This is the first time Ive really seen this thing in action. Holy shit it's a beast! And FYI, with enough Little Tree Black Ice air fresheners, you can get rid of the smell of despair. Worked for me. There is no cure for the regret, shame and lost since of pride due to the Dodgeness though.

[@DuddiesAdventure]

Stick around and hopefully i will get the Deathcharger back on the trail for some more wheeling, i fear the lingering smell of old spice and despair are permanent though..

[@HFG]

Did you hear that? It wants to live with me now. You're holding it against it's will!

[@DuddiesAdventure]

I don't know........ It seems pretty content just sitting there waiting on parts....

[@HFG]

@@DuddiesAdventure 😭😭😭 #diesellife

[@HFG]

@@DuddiesAdventure btw, I bought some corroseal based on your video. I'll give you a shout-out in the video where I use it.

[@DuddiesAdventure]

@@HFG I actually found out about that stuff on @Decentgarage , check out his channel for the all the info and how to do it right haha

[@HFG]

@@DuddiesAdventure I sub'd. Doing it right sounds like a lot of effort 🙄 Can't I just do it the wrong way and waste my time and money?

[@humbertovegao8199]

Por eso es tan poderosa tiene lo mejor de cada carro y con ese motor diesel más fuerte saludos

[@DuddiesAdventure]

¡Gracias! Puse mucho trabajo en este camión con las mejores piezas que pude encontrar. ¡Aprecialo y gracias por mirar!

[@wolfyk95]

ok, this is it- I need a ramcharger

[@DuddiesAdventure]

Everbody needs a Ramcharger! Just prepare yourself.....people will call it a Bronco....It happens.... A lot ha ha

[@Florida_man420]

Duddie's Adventure lmao you’re not wrong. The amount of people who call my cummins ramcharger a bronco is insane.

[@lawrencetroxell4131]

I have seen this Death Charger in live action "it will do things that are impossible"!!!!

[@DuddiesAdventure]

Thanks Larry!!

[@lawrencetroxell4131]

The COD is a work of art and love. It will run forever!!!

[@DuddiesAdventure]

Thanks Larry! I hope it runs forever!

[@johnpenner1318]

Great videos!!! Chevy 52” springs up front? 63s in the back? Looks like it has some pretty good flex. I might try those on my 1990 truck. 👍🏼 Oh, you said new, so what springs are they? Aftermarket? How much “lift” are they Thanks again 👌🏼

[@DuddiesAdventure]

The Front 52" springs were stock replacements for a rear C10 Chevy Pickup, I did add and subtract some leafs in them though. The Rear are 3" lift 63" rear springs from a 3/4 Chevy Suburban. Check out the Death Charger playlist for all the other videos on this ramcharger ! Thanks For Watching!

[@davidr7997]

i love it , im building a 2wd 75 RC and it has a count of 16 trucks to bring it back to life

[@DuddiesAdventure]

Heck yeah Frankenstein trucks!

[@humbertovegao8199]

Tuve una 1989 4x4 con 360

[@DuddiesAdventure]

¡Ese es un gran camión! Apprecaite y gracias por mirar!

[@Wartooths]

Great rig and great video! I'd say you drive pretty good, everyone needs a good spotter from time to time!

[@DuddiesAdventure]

Thanks For Watching! I definitely drive the Deathcharger in places that I should have a spotter!

[@christianxzowner2958]

Does a 80' ramcharger dash fit a 81' d150?

[@DuddiesAdventure]

I would imagine it does, every thing from 72 to 93 is pretty interchangeable.

[@franklinZac]

What paint is on the deathcharger

[@DuddiesAdventure]

Its just military Tan paint I ordered from a army surplus store. Thanks for watching!

[@garyjohnson801]

You just did what dodge should have done to make the Ramcharger better than factory

[@DuddiesAdventure]

Thank you! The Deathcharger had many dodges sacrificed to it, but it was worth it!

[@DobermansRock]

Think green recycle your used, abused, driven into the ground, clapped out, stove piped, egg turn rotted out old damn Dodges. Mother Mopar says so.With the turn of a key every drive is a Earth day drive. Best enjoyed with Taco's or the Taco(use private drives for that stroker). I'm going 408 and I will say it again somewhere in another comment section for one of your videos. So suffer.

[@shanemayfield4610]

Not impressed, my dirt bike can go anywhere it can and then some

[@DuddiesAdventure]

I agree, a Dirt Bike would had been a much better investment! Thanks for Watching!

[@garyjohnson801]

No . A dirt bike can't keep you out of the bad weather while you were four wheeling

[@Florida_man420]

You and 3 your buddies gonna go cruise around on your little bike?
