    Anyone have an XVenture by Schutt Ind ?

    Here is another important question (at least to me anyways)- Does the tailgate open flush with the bed when it is in the down position ? The reason i ask is: ARB fridge on a slide may not work if tailgate is higher than the bed. I have found other trailers while researching that do not open...

    Fullsize Pickups; Half Ton Trucks.........Which & Why

    Do your research & homework. Figure out what is best for you. If you succeed, you will smile everytime you drive it. It is like anything else. I LOVE my truck when it is working good, but i hate that bi**h when it's not. Research known issues. I wanted the off-road-ness of the Power Wagon, but...

    Ford F550 vs. Ram 5500

    Do the 4500 & 5500 series really have C-channel frames ? If so, i hope they are much thicker & stronger than mine, seeing as how they are rated for so much more weight (mine don't flex at all, even w/1200 lbs in the bed at max articulation). My 2008 Power Wagon frame is fully boxed from front to...

    NEW 2015 3/4t 4x4 pickup CHOICES/features/value/reviews/experiences/etc.

    My vote: Dodge Power Wagon. Period. Quite simply-NO other truck offers what the PW does, bone stock. Need more carrying capacity, install stiffer leafs (on the 2005-2014), stiffer coils on the 2015+. Easy peasy. I put Hellwig Load Pro 35's on my 2008 Power Wagon w/G-56 6-speed manual. I tow a...

    Commercial Ladder Rack for M1101

    What about these ? How wide is your trailer ? 86" is the widest bars they sell, but reg pipe that size dia would also work, if you need wider than 86". http://www.yakima.com/shop/water/truck/outdoorsman-300-fullsize

    Manley ORV Original

    Questions to those that own one: Does the "tailgate" open flush with the floor ? Or is it slightly higher or lower than the tub floor ? (think-ARB fridge on a slide) If it is higher, how did you mount your ARB fridge on a slide so it doesn't hit the tailgate ?

    Has anyone ever lifted....

    It is a dual axle trailer, this one to be exact: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoDvyCj_xsc The hitch height now is around 22" with stock suspension & stock 285/70/17 33" tires. Looking into a 1-4" lift & 35s....maybe...not sure yet. Still no intelligent reply from Winnebago Travel Trailers.

    Has anyone ever lifted....

    I am not going for flex either. It currently has 14" tires & rims. I am looking at & wanting 15" tires & rims as well as a lift. Trouble is, around here where i live, not many people know how or are even willing to do this. Everyone is scared to death about liability issues. NY is the "lets save...

    Has anyone ever lifted....

    or had the manufacturer lift a reg, small hardsided travel trailer ? If so, & they did the spring under axle lift, how much lift did it actually give you ? I know they are not designed for hard-core off roading & i don't plan to do that. What i want is one that sits about 10-12" taller, so we...

    Anyone here have a RAM 1500 EcoDiesel?

    I can't speak for anyone else, but I did NOT buy our PW for a "cool factor" at all. I bought it for it's off-road prowess in bone stock form. It is still the only full sized (3/4ton) truck that has front & rear lockers, that can articulate the way it does, has a 12,000 lb winch (actually, the...

    Anyone here have a RAM 1500 EcoDiesel?

    I absolutely LOVE my Dodge Power Wagon. But, I absolutely HATE the 8-10 mpg empty or loaded---don't matter a bit, on stock size tires. It is now paid for, so it's a keeper. Anything & everything has it's trade-offs. Only you can decide. Definitely 3/4t & up though. Stuff adds up in a hurry...
