As requested, here are some pictures of the lights mounted behind the grill.

Thanks for the pics.

Forgot it's a power wagon. I don't have that much space behind the grill with a CTD.

Well if a little light and Line-X is good, then more is better. .

I like the way you think!

Trucks Looking Great!

Thanks for the compliment. I'm a big fan of exterior illumination. There's times when you find yourself on a dirt road at night coming back from hunting, and being able to see critters in front or on the side of the road is super helpful.

What's your MPG I am really on the fence to go with a power wagon or diesel 2500.

OP-sweet truck!

As a rule I average around 11mpg while I'm in town. At 65mph I'm going to get around 17.5mpg, and then when I jump up to 80mph I'm closer to 14mph. From what I understand the new 6.4L Hemi with the 4.10 gears does better. I average around 8,000 miles a year so fuel economy has never been a concern for me. This truck takes me to work, hunting, tows the family boat, and helps my brother get hay each year, so it does everything I need and more. If I had to tow really heave I might look at something else.

Diesel without question. Torque, reliability and better fuel mileage then a Hemi.

You really getting 17.5 on the highway?, that's awesome, my '12 2500 Hemi CC 4x4 gets around 12.8 pretty much all the time. 3.73 and stock 30" tires. Most Power Wagon posters were saying 8-10, maybe 12 on the highway, you change anything?
Not calling you out, just wondering how?

At 65mph the truck does really well. However, once you go above 70 it tanks.

AEV Salta HD's in Onyx added to the truck over the weekend. I'm really happy with the look it gives my truck.
