Re: Converting overall costs for capability

Something to consider, I have heard the PW swaybar disconnect will not support the additional weight of the diesel motor.

I am pretty sure this older power wagon concept has Hutchinsons on it.
Thank you!

Any Pics of Hutchinson Wheels?

I am interested in Hutchinson Beadlocks but I am concerned about the offset. Does anyone have these mounted on their Power Wagon? I am especially interested in pics showing how far the wheels stick out.

Re: 2014+ Train Horn Recommendations?

I really like the Kleinn offering. It looks like the mounting location(s) conflict with White Knuckle Rock Sliders. I am sure it could be rectified, just something to consider.

Re: '14 Power Wagon needs new motor at 63k... :/

I would ask the general manager about the comparable rental. Surely they can give you a better discount on one. I pay extra on my insurance to get a comparable rental and have had to use it twice. Good luck.

Re: 37x12.5 on AEV Saltas – metal trimming or liner only (2018)?

Exactly what I'm hoping for! I went with the AEV wheel because they state it will allow fitment of 37s, and they didn't mention cutting being required... I remember reading it had to be a 37” BFG KO2 because they run small. Toyos run true to size or even bigger. This is probably where the discrepan...

I can’t believe someone would actually cut up their truck that much. The end result looks terrible.

Re: WK Sliders install

Overall, my install was quick and easy using the techniques already mentioned. I didn’t use a torque wrench. I just tightened each as much as I could with my 12 inch ratchet. I figured there is no way my 205 pound a$$ was going to bend metal strong enough to support the weight of the truck. I only u...

Re: Winch rope

I agree with DamageWagon. Also, my first criteria for almost everything I buy is durability. Cable is overall more durable than rope, so that is where I lose interest in the limited benefits of rope. I think you mean abuse. No winch rope, wire or otherwise, is rate to pull around fixed objects. Fur...

The average age vehicles leave the road is at the 12 year mark. You are past that already. If you truck has to be reliable, it may be time.

Re: Rambox organization

One side is emergency and towing gear. The other is empty and frequently gets used for groceries if all the seats are full. Once I get a bak-flip cover for more dry storage, I will fill up the other side with more emergency gear.
