    Dodge Power Wagon. 2008 w/G-56 Best truck i ever owned. Yes it sucks gas. Yes i had to rebuild the front end. Still the best truck i have ever owned. It can rock crawl. Mud crawl or mud sling. Tow our 10,500 lb camper w/1500 lb tongue weight. Gets me to work regardless of the snow. Haul 3980...

    Mopar is bringing something new to Expo!

    Personally, I do not like the "teaser vehicles" one bit. It really aggravates me. The FC they brought a few years back generated all kinds of interest, yet they will never produce it. Same as the short box single cab Power Wagon & the diesel J8 w/Dana 60 rear. I would buy an FC with the 3-way...

    1500 series quad cab overlanders....your thought please.

    Our PW is the same outside body dimensions as a 1500. Thats what we are gonna use it for, Overlanding. Just 2 people. I do not plan on any rock crawling with our set up but lots of off pavement travel is in our future. I am gonna make a storage area out of our rear seat area with drawers & such...

    Power wagon or 2500 for a light slide in camper

    PW's sit 1.5-2" taller than a reg 2500. Their weight capacity is less-due to the fact that they have a softer, more flexy suspension. Hard to have one without the other. My leafs are said to be made for Dodge by Deaver (3rd Gen). It has more leafs than a reg 2500's 3-4 (7-8 thinner leafs). I am...

    Power wagon or 2500 for a light slide in camper

    We have a 2008 Power Wagon w/G-56 6-speed manual. I tow a 10,500 lb trailer with a tongue weight of around 1500 lbs. The only thing i did was install a set of the Hellwig Load Pro 35's. $380 to my door. Problem solved. That made ALL the difference. Carli also offers a set of leaf springs (3rd...

    AEV RAM Overland Rig

    IMHO, it is a GREAT platform. The only 2 things i don't like about our 2008 Dodge Power Wagon w/G-56 6-speed manual, is the 8-10 mpg & that i had to rebuild the front end at 18k. (i think it was from towing our trailer---but now it's done with the best parts) It tows our 10,500 lb camper like...

    3/4ton and 1ton trucks, pivot frame needed/worth it?

    But if the frame flexes enough to destroy a solidly bolted in box/cabin, it seems like it causes an entirely different set of engineering problems that would not be an issue with a more solid frame? Such as this:? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_f3CAnH7WIM...

    NOt as good as the Aussie ones but...

    Well, we just ordered & bought a Starcraft AR-One 18QB Extreme today. 8-12 weeks before delivery. Had to be ordered. We opted for the roof top 13,500 BTU A/C (think summertime temps in southern/western states) vs the side mount 8000 BTU unit (can't get both), as height is not an issue for us...

    NOt as good as the Aussie ones but...

    I like the Starcraft AR-One Extreme's. They are absolutely NOT a hardcore off-road trailer. That said, I think they will sell a ton of the Extreme versions of this camper. It is all most people want: the ability to get a little off the beaten path, go down a dirt lane-way with ruts & not have to...

    Lift Kit for Enclosed Cargo Trailer

    Many trailers have the axle mounted over the leaf springs. By doing a "axle flip" and mounting the axle under the leaf springs, it will give you some lift.
