Dually Wagoneer?

Post by thej10guy »

Ok this is very random but I was wondering: has anyone ever made a dually wagoneer? I can’t find pictures of one so I doubt it but I feel like it would be pretty cool.

Many years ago I recall seeing one with a DRW rear axle, and some flares added. It cooled cool.

There was this monstrosity that was put onto a Ram chassis. It uh, does not look cool.

I saw the pic and your first sentence and said "WHAT???".

Then I read your second sentence. I agree. Waste of a Wag and a Ram both. Please tell me he didn't waste a Cummins too

LOL, it was indeed a Ram 3500 Cummins.

What a waste of such nice vehicles. Took two great things and turned it into one piece of dung. But, oh well, if it’s what they wanted, then so be it. Someday in the future if I find a waggy needing some work and a dually rear axle that’ll work, I might make it happen.

I would guess the un-sprung weight of that beast is more than the entire body, poor thing. I have yet to see an SJ body without stress cracks even with D44 axles under it. It wouldn't last long driving around here on Michigan roads.
I used to name my FSJ’s after their previous owners, I realized I had too many with five named Rick.

Dang raccoons again!

Rust is a color too.

I agree that that thing is ugly. In fairness though, if they were to trim the frame properly, do some custom fenders (and widetrack fenders up front), and maybe swap the wheels, it wouldn't be TOO bad. But a 3500 is too much frame for it.

There are 2 major differences between new Wranglers and FSJs. FSJs are meant to be both utilitarian and capable, not just capable. FSJs are also rarely initially recognized as Jeeps by the average American.

That's a lot of ifs.

I'll be fair and say my judgement is based on the pic. If he narrowed the axles to fit with flares it could be fine.
