    Looking for Ideas/Pictures of How to Secure Gear in my Truck Bed

    I used to do the same thing. It got old quick. I went through the same dilemma. I ended up getting a cap with no windows (except in the very front cause i had no choice). Out of sight-out of mind. Toolbox on drivers side. Made my own bed slide. It is secured down & does not tip. Works...

    Ford or Ram?

    FWIW-All 3 of my Dodge trucks seemed to "sheer" the oil quickly. 2000 Dakota, 2004 2500, 2008 Dodge Power Wagon (which i still have). I tried all different types & weights of full synthetic gear lube. It didn't matter. after 10-12,000 miles the rear axle was noisy. Change the fluid & it was...

    Mattracks

    Not a bad buy at all. GLWS I contacted Mattracks years ago & found out there were 2 avail for my Power Wagon. Standard duty were $27,000 & the HD were $47,000. Seeing as my PW has the G-56 trans & lockers, probably not too many places I couldn't go with them. When I win the Power Ball lottery...

    Power wagon rambox problems

    As the owner of a 2008 Dodge Power Wagon, I would trust a rack from front runner more than i would my cab. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0AqKuWpDsk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HT-m9ToD0k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxZ1G44Emiw I know a side roll over is not the same as weight...

    2017 Chevy Colorado ZR2

    Personally, I am happy to see this finally happen (but I still will believe it when i see it). As a person who has been writing the "big 3" and "Toyota" for more than 30 years, about their trucks, it makes me very happy to see this come to fruition. I am sure my writing to them many, many times...

    Overland fridge/freezer or just fridge?

    The "shelf" in the ARB's kinda works great for that very purpose. It's not very big though & I have not tried it when the fridge was set to max cold-freeze (-01*F) either. But I have noticed that there is maybe a 10*F (just guessing here) difference between the shelf & the bottom of it.

    Introducing The Next Generation of WARN VR Winches

    There is a reason that WARN winches were/are standard equipment on Dodge/Ram Power Wagons. Quality. 2005- currently. Great winch. In the case of my 2008 Doge Power Wagon, Dodge dropped the ball big time in the execution of the entire electrical system---pertaining to the winch. Certainly not...

    Ford or Ram?

    There are many, many people running a 4wc in the bed of Power Wagons. No one has ever had an issue. There were 2 people who did it/have done it/are doing it full time all across the country . Hell, one even has a blog about it. 3" lift, 37's, Aluminess bumpers. It is a white 4th gen. Same frame...

    What PTO?

    I believe the G-56 in my 08' Power Wagon can also run a PTO. Would be cool to have a PTO hyd pump. Could add a front mounted snow blower. 345hp snow blower !

    Ford or Ram?

    You guys are silly to NOT buy a PW because of payload. Springs---thats all you need to add or replace. I towed 10,500 lbs with my 5.7L Hemi with no issues at all. The hitch weight of 1150 lbs empty, squatted my truck to the ground. I just added a set of Hellwig Load Pro 35's. Worked great. For...

    Overland fridge/freezer or just fridge?

    Not sure why you are (the OP) so torn up between 1 or the other ? My ARB's do both, freeze or a fridge. Your choice. Why would you limit yourself to 1 or the other, when 1 will do both. Yes, I have used my 50qt ARB as a dedicated freezer. Works great. Kept -1*F @ 97*F outside air temp. I just...

    2008 Dodge Power Wagon FLIP PAC Camper FOR SALE $23,000

Gives me an awesome 78:1 crawl ratio. I have literally let the truck drive itself through mud & snow that others...

    Overland fridge/freezer or just fridge?

    We have a 50qt & an 82qt ARB. When going out for a week or more, we usually put all the beverages in a cooler. We have containers of frozen water instead of ice. We carry additional frozen containers in the ARB set to freeze & just rotate them every day or every other day or so. The method to...

    fitting Your ARB Transit Bag

    Mine were SOB's as well. I actually had to use a hammer & a piece of wood to properly seat mine. But it works great & glad I got both covers for free. Maybe thats why they were free ? Factory 2nds ?
