Lucas-

Congrats on the Ramcharger!

Steve Sourapas's Ramcharger is an ex-Walker Evans prerunner. Everything custom built in-house I'm sure. Just about Class 8 legal too.

Stop playin' with golf carts and VW's, and get to work on the new ride!

Later!

Tony,
Probably has some of our stuff on it from the old days. Hard to tell after it's changed hands a few times.

Dave,I bought it directly from Walker and have been the only owner since 1996.The only thing that we have changed on it since we got it was we put a set of King by-pass shocks on it and lowered it about 5",man are those by-pass shocks loud(click,click,click).It's been a very reliable pre-runner with very little maintenance needed.I did break a 4130 billet steering slider last year at the Baja 1000 at the bottom of the summit,that was a real miracle fix to get it out of there.I might be selling it to build a Ford pre-runner very soon.Dave,I think your made the billet spindles and up rights for all of Walker's trucks,those things are bullet proof.

Re: "Dave,I think your made the billet spindles and up rights for all of Walker's trucks,those things are bullet proof."

Steve,
Yea, we did a pile of those things for Walker over the years. The upright is made from billet 4340 and heat treated to Rc 50-52. The early spindles were made from 300M but Walker finally broke one so we converted them to Maraging. If you ever have to change the spindle out of the upright give us a call. There is a specific procedure that has to be followed so as to not ruin the bore in the upright. Also takes a custom tool to re-torque the spindle retainer nut which we still have.

Does anyone use Dodge trucks as pre-runners anymore or even as a tow vehicle? I want a 4x4 dodge diesel 3/4 ton and was wondering if anyone makes any sort of suspension for them at all? Since you guys were talking about Dodges I thought maybe you would know? Thanks if there is any hope.
