Many factors lead to "new stuff", some good, some, not so much. The strict C.A.F.E. regulations is the big one. It makes the makers gear for mpg, instead of HD work, like trucks are supposed to be designed for. Emissions is another. Stricter rules means more "new stuff". I also love...

Great topic. I got so tired of switching my tools from the garage, to the camper, to the truck, i finally got this just for the truck. No more switching back & forth. http://www.harborfreight.com/hand-tools/hand-tool-sets/301-pc-professional-mechanics-tool-set-69312.html A guy i worked with...

??????????????

Yeah, sorry, there were no cell phones then, at least not that I knew of. Around 1985 if memory serves. I ain't joking when i say i think of that EVERY time I reach for a cable. When it broke, I could feel it in my chest @ about 100 yds away. I am not fond of the synthetic ropes. I have seen no...

Warn Industries, When I go to my Dodge dealer for ANY part, let alone winch parts, & I say Power Wagon, they all look up like deer in the headlights. VERY FRUSTRATING. What about the winch solenoids, are they the same as the M15000/M12000 ? Part #'s ? 2008 Dodge Power Wagon.

How much does this thing cost vs a elec winch ? http://www.harborfreight.com/9000-lb-off-road-vehicle-electric-winch-with-automatic-load-holding-brake-61346.html Just sayin

Rino, On your CKMTP12 Twin comp KIT, it shows an air hose and a blow gun type thingy. I Want to know exactly what comes with it, please. And the free things, are all 3 of those listed included, or just 1 ? Thanks, Mike.

Anything can fail, anything. I once had the opportunity to watch an M60 tank retrieval from a swamp. It is what i think of every time i reach for a/my winch. It was buried, Only thing sticking out was the turret, the rest was sunk. A M88 tank retriever tried to get it out, by itself. The swamp...

We have 3 generators at our house. Started off with a Generac 5500XL. Bought that in like 1992/3 or so. Power used to go out all the time at our house. It is loud & heavy. Used it camping once, in the middle of nowhere at an atv campgrounds. They came & told us to shut it off, too loud. So, then...

Those look really nice. Now, all they need to do is make a line for the US, with 12v & 120v. I think they would sell a lot of them. I could have bought one of them instead of the 2 ARB's.

Lots of cliche's come to mind: "Better to have it & not need it, than to need it & not have it." "Go prepared". Etc, etc. .

My money says it's the suspension & off road goodies that lower the payload, just like my Power Wagon. Off-road suspension is designed to flex to keep maximum tire contact with the ground, improving traction. Off-road tires are bigger, heavier, + skid plates, + winch, etc., etc. . All this takes...

Does one of these axles HAVE TO be used in the drop position ? Or can it also be used in the "UP" position for more ground clearance ? I know nothing about them. Thanks for the replies. :)

I do too. I was trying to be funny, because my PW in particular gets the worst mpg of any vehicle i have owned, ever. In fact, there are Semi-Trucks---loaded, that get the same mpg as my truck does empty. A diesel makes perfect sense to me as well------But------it has to be one that is the same...

:) For those late to the Power Wagon party, here is some thoughts from a guy who owns an 08' G-56 PW, lol :) If you use the words "Power Wagon" and "MPG" or "fuel economy" in the same sentence, it by default, becomes an Oxy-moron !!! LOL :)...

That is wayyy cool. I wonder if an ARB fridge on a slide would fit in there ? That would be perfect. I am surprised that no one has come out with something like this set up just for overlanding. Or maybe they have & I just haven't seen it ?

"Rather see them do their own thing and pushed the HiLux, LC70, Patrol, etc...in the American market." Me too. Would LOVE to see a diesel hi-lux here. If this truck takes off, we may see others throw their hat in the ring. Toyota already makes that truck. Ford still makes the Ranger, with 4...

AWESOME !!! Cool video. Glad there was no "bear incident" & everyone left safely. Man, my mouth is watering now ! lol

What does everyone think of the Nissan CTD ? In my neck-of-the-woods, they are simply not selling well at all. Priced too high. The one I looked at was the highest zoot one you could get & was over $60k. I drove by the dealer a month later & it was still there. Think the same thing could happen...
