aearles, how did it handle the 885lb hitch weight? ps, that is a gorgeous truck

looks like a no go from Carli on the power wagon, the power wagon is already 2.5" lift form the factory, i am assuming with longer coils on the 14-15 and more arched leafs on the 10-13 (or blocks) MAYBE there is a coil spacer onthe power wagon, but i highly doubt it, will verify though. here is...

hmm, it was "product not yet available" just a couple days ago, that does seem like it would be a good solution, and only $400

aearles, that is great to hear, and more fuel for my fire actually. have you had a 1300lb load in it by chance to see how it handles? underdrive, power wagons do have a 2.5" lift from the factory, so on the newer coil spring trucks (14-15) im not sure a normal 2500 spring would work (probably...

i do know they suck on mpgs, so does my tundra when the camper i loaded, seems like i get between 9-13mpg (ive seen 20 unloaded, but 80mph and wind kills it). I have heard from others the PW doesnt really care if its loaded or not, always consistant sucky milage--ha. i bet a standard 2500 hemi...

ha, i think a 3500 would flex even less than a 2500, which puts it at the extreme opposite end of the spectrum powerwagner, of course i will not take the truck the same places we take the 2 door Rubicon, but living in CO i do find myself on some knarly trails an aweful lot to find a good camp...

I currently own a 02 Tundra access cab with a 13 Four Wheel Camper Hawk in it, fairly loaded camper (hot water, awning etc), so i would guess 1300lbs give or take. Tundra i did add-a-leaf, bilsteen 5100's, and air bags with day star cradles. Tundra handles the camper OK, not awesome, but...

question i should never ask about power wagon i know, but what are you seeing for realistic gas milage in a power wagon with a hawk FWC? i already own a hawk on a 1st gen tundra (02) and am toying with the idea of upgrading to a 3/4 ton power wagon. im thinking i will be at the same milage give...

ill weigh in on this since ive tried most of the dual sport offerings out there over the years and dealt with how to effectively transport them as well. my ford E350 was set up to carry one dirt bike inside and one on the back (dirt bikes though). anyway, what do you really want to do with the...

ive owned a javier van, that stabilizer bracket always worried me--never seemed stout enough (and i do know someone who had it break on them). if i was gonna do another van--it would be a u-joint kit hands down. i had lots of trouble with lots of BS out of Javier that took way to much time to...

check out syncrogreg's build thread over on thesamba for true amazement--drool worthy master craftsman work here, one of the best (if not the best) built syncros out there and groundbreaking in many ways, critics ignored bravo for the trip!

sale pending

sunday bump

sno dawg, agreed, try thesamba.com, lots of VW-heads over there lookinf for that stuff. if you were local id come get it myself haf-E, it is a 4 speed PLUS low gear, as were all syncros. wouldn't consider it a 5 spd since the low gear is behind reverse and actuated the same way (push down and...

getting alot of questions about regear, it is running stock gearing and tranny is in perfect shape. I find the stock gearing is perfect for the subaru transplants (diesels not so much) and i have known a few who have regeared and regretted it later. of course opinions are ........

thanks and oh yeah, it is still running the stock VC, which is functioning perfectly. I thought about adding a decoupler, but even then i would still run a VC. ive driven some solid shaft conversions before and prefer the VC for usability. adding an agressive VC to the mix is probably the way to go

here is a hard to find 4x4 Syncro Westfalia pop top weekender style Vanagon with a fresh Subaru 2.5L motor installed. This van was just completed recently but must move on for various reasons. If you have never driven a 4wd Vanagon Syncro, you are missing out, unmatched in the views and the way...

11. i hate these motors so much, i even delivered it to someone who wanted it 12. tranny prepped (and mostly clean) with small car bellhousing. i really like this product to, eliminates the crappy VW/vanagon slave cyl, and the unreliable Bosch starter replacing it with the subi starter. also...

pahse 3, subaru 2.5 install i finally can post phase 3 completion, 02 Subaru 2.5L obd2 install to replace what VW engineers considered OK power plant 1. slow progress with addition of a new shop dog, spent alot of time training with her 2. motor prep, remove top parts of motor to reverse...

parents never fess up to bad kids--ive seen it. on advrider and thesamba im mblotz, just like you are Xtremjeepn. anyway--subject closed for me
