    BoldAdventures 2015 Power Wagon Build

    Yup, best looking bumper for Power Wagons---unless you can afford a Mercenary. They do not look like an "afterthought" or "Jay Leno's chin" or hideous like some others. Form follows function & both equal beauty.

    ARB 50qt or Dometic 50qt?

    We have 2 ARB's. 82qt & 50qt. I got lucky & got a real good deal. Check out OK4WD. I bought them there. Got a free transit bag with each one, free shipping with each one, & sent in my proof of purchase & got a free digital dual fridge remote thermometer. So, you can have it on your dash &...

    Medical/First Aid Choices?

    I have MANY first aid kits. I make them all myself. When the kids were young & we went camping, I bought the largest rubber-maid food container that sealed water tight, that i could find at w-world. Filled it with stuff that I/we actually have & would use. I got my first aid training in the U.S...

    Costco: inexpensive down quilts

    I have had a few down products over the years. Jackets, pillows, comforter. They all ended up with the little feathers poking through the material in kinda short order. Are these any different ? Or was my "down", not really down at all ?

    Resale value means nothing if you plan on keeping the vehicle. Just sayin'.

    FS: 2005 Suzuki DR650SE---w/pics

    Give me a day or so. It's in the storage shed right now. Thanks. Looks just like these though. Blue & white, bone stock. https://www.google.com/search?q=Images+of+blue+2005+DR650SE&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjI4KSD3LHSAhUM6YMKHfuPA-wQsAQIGw&biw=1440&bih=791

    Battery operated impact driver vs. pneumatic

    I have the 18v Ridgid elec impact. I bought it only because they said if i was not completely satisfied, I could return it for a full refund. I did not expect much. It took the lug nuts off my Power Wagon with no problem. They were torqued to 135 lb ft. I love it. It does NOT compare to the high...

    Are you referring to this one ? http://ok4wd.com/shop-by-vendor/arb/travel-fridges/arb-all-weather-63qt-fridge-freezer I have no idea if other sizes are coming, but I bet if you called OK4WD, they might know ?

    Who tows with a diesel Colorado ?

    I think we are just gonna take a breath & wait for a while. Lots of great points, both pro & con for the small diesel. Like some stated, I can buy a LOT of repairs & fuel for the $50,000 of a new truck. Apparently you can not let the 2.8L Duramax idle for too long, or else it will go into limp...

    Who tows with a diesel Colorado ?

    LOL Buy my 2005 DR650SE. 16k+ miles, bought new by me, used only to drive b & forth to work. $3k or REASONABLE offer. Then you can get your new truck as well. LOL Needs nothing. Fly here, I pick you up & you drive it home ! Bamm, problem solved ! LOL

    Who tows with a diesel Colorado ?

    Yes, yes I am. The trans gear ratios were all wrong in it for ANY type of HD work, even though it had 4.10's in the axles. Thats what made me and my F-I-Law so mad. Sold as a HD truck, able to tow 10,500 lbs. It sucked because of the trans. If that truck had the G-56, I would probably still be...

    Who tows with a diesel Colorado ?

    That may be, but sometimes the numbers just don't work---period. Looks like it should on paper but it just don't work like you think it should. Whether it is because of the computer programing, transmission programing, torque converter, or whatever, those 2 trucks were absolutely horrible to tow...

    Who tows with a diesel Colorado ?

    Thats exactly what me & my F-I-Law thought too. Mine never overheated because of the extra big coolers I put on but on something like the "IKE GAUNTLET", his would overheat every time. It was a brand new truck as well. Sad. They are now geared for mpg it seems.

    Who tows with a diesel Colorado ?

    I was trying to not get into this but I guess I have to: I see it every year when we go camping, every year. People pulling a camper that don't even weigh 5000 lbs with a CTD, DuraMax, Ford diesel w/900 ft lbs. I know WHY they do it, I just think it is BS that they HAVE to. Reason: The gas...

    Who tows with a diesel Colorado ?

    LOL This thread turned into quite the read ! LOL Power Wagon is NOT worn out. LOL It only has 45k on it. Rode the motorcycle a lot while working to purposely keep the mileage down. I am Retired now. But honestly, 3-10 mpg (depending on what it's doing) is bad. Love the truck but not the...

    Who tows with a diesel Colorado ?

    You are correct. I thought it was the same video I watched already, where they were complaining about the sway. It was a while back. Sorry, my mistake.
