    I'm stuffing this in my build thread, becuase I don't know where else to stick it on this site. There will be a gathering of other Power Wagon Owners in Moab this May. For full details go here: http://forum.powerwagonregistry.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4183 DATES: May 1,2017 to May 7, 2017...

    Florida to Colorado, a 5,000 mile tour of the country

    What a great trip. Reminds me of my first big trip my wife and I took together in our first rig. We too left from Flordia (St. Petersburg) and drove out to Colorado and Utah. Keep adventuring!

    BoldAdventures 2015 Power Wagon Build

    They've been great and already saved my rockers twice. Work good enough as a step too. Overall, I'm really happy with the investment. They're a solid quality product. And you'll be suporting an american small business.

    No rubbing and zero issues with the Toyo Open Country's. I do not have a leveling kit. 100% stock suspension still.

    BoldAdventures 2015 Power Wagon Build

    We love this truck. I don't feel like much was needed to make it a real performer offroad. And even with the 6.4L Hemi, she's been a pleasure to tow with across all types of terrain. I have yet to find myself saying "I wish I had a diesel". This truck really fits our lifestyle. And I'd highly...

    BoldAdventures 2015 Power Wagon Build

    Just a few things. KEEPING SCORE Not a huge decal guy. But this felt appropriate. Need to get a top decal made to the effect of 6th Annual Power Wagons in Moab... Also added American Adventurist decal, fit us. LIGHTING UPGRADES I replaced the factory Halogens in the projectors with...

    BoldAdventures 2015 Power Wagon Build

    Yea - so far we have only hung up the front diff once on Top of the World, but we figured out how to get out of the predicament. No dents or scratches. I figured the half diff protectors where a good measure from getting full out diff covers that replace the cover. I generally don't want to...

    BoldAdventures 2015 Power Wagon Build

    Thanks. It's not just tempting, but it seems common for folks to buy a new truck, go out and slap a lift kit, bigger tires, and steel bumper on it, without ever considering how they'll use it or wheel it. Usually, it's the dream of how they'd like to use it, but not the reality. My intentions...

    BoldAdventures 2015 Power Wagon Build

    ARMOR - Rock Sliders Well, I finally had access to a lift, and installed the sliders on the PW. These things are beefy and very well built. Installation on the passenger side was a breeze. The drivers side, will make you curse more than once. But the lift made the work easier. I was done...

    BoldAdventures 2015 Power Wagon Build

    The RT's were a strong contender for me, but were twice the cost. Being on the road full-time I can't get a shipment of tires. And this was kind of a spur of the moment decision while here in Moab. Also, it was $1200 out the door for 5 tires mounted and balanced. It was a good price. I also...

    BoldAdventures 2015 Power Wagon Build

    Non-concern for me. I concern myself with axle and tire ratings along with GVWR & CGVWR, I'm within spec on all of those items from my last visit over the cat scales. Bad news for you. It fits in the spare location.:P You'll find the 305 to be closer to a 33 inch tire. The stock Wranglers...

    BoldAdventures 2015 Power Wagon Build

    TIRE UPGRADE After lots of testing in Moab, new shoes for the Power Wagon. I had considered 37's and given that we tow often I decided that 35's would be a better fit for capability and retaining power and mpg while towing (somewhat). So today I had Toyo Open Country AT/II's in 35x12.50 R 17...

    WARN Ascent Font Bumpers

    Any chance this works with the Ram Power Wagon, which already comes with a factory Warn winch?

    Full Size Dodge Thread

    Beyond happy. Payload is a non-concern, I worry about axle and tire ratings and not overloading those. Diesel is better if you want the power I suppose for pulling. I went with the Power Wagon becuase when we are not towing we like to do this: We are full-time travelers, so I tow...
