Turbo Mopar's Car of the Month - May 2008
WVRampage's 1984 Dodge Rampage Turbo!
There's nothing like a truck to haul stuff, especially when it's turbocharged and hauls butt too!
Its a 1984 with a 2.5 Turbo in it, Intercooled with a 50-shot of nitrous (see sig for more mods). It has the rear discs from a Daytona and fronts from a Caravan. 17x7 adr wheels that have been powdercoated black with 205/45r17 Maxxis tires.The interior has Summit racing seat with a console that I fabbed up with the switches for the fan,nitrous and the check engine light in it.The sound comes from a Pioneer deh-33 head unit with Pioneer 6.5" 3 ways in the doors, 6x9s in the seat, 2 10 inch punch HEs in the rear with a 300 watt amp. It also has a bed cover on it that was fabbed up by me when I did the body work to have it painted. I have now added a Summit street and strip ignition and a set of MSD wires. The clutch is a RP 4 puck that was installed after the Goblins Ghosts and Gearheads event at PRP last fall were the stock clutch gave up while running an 8.94 in the 1/8 with a 1.92 60 on BFG drag radials. Future plans involve a hybrid 16v that is being assembled as we speak. I have owned the rampage since 1999 and for the longest time it was a daily driver, and still is driven when I'm not cleaning something up of changing something on it. Overall it is a nice driving vehicle that I would take almost anywhere.
