In our 06 when we went to 40's I decided that we needed more gear. I swapped a 11.5 into our truck with 5.38's and an ARB and it has worked great. The only change to install the axle was the shorter driveshaft. With the gears and the 40's the truck drives better than stock.

Re: Gears?
We have an 06 so it has the 5.7, so not the same truck. I swapped out the rear 10.5 for a 11.5 so I could go with 5.38's. We are running 40's and tow our 10k pound camper and it does very well. With the 6.4 and 37's I would absolutely go with 5.13's. http://pics.montypics.com/akwhtbst/2018-10-24/154...

Re: Alaska Earthquake

I had planned on wheeling with Low_Sky on Saturday but the emergency killed those plans. Our house that we rent came out with very minor sheetrock cracks and some broken decorations ...

Wow this summer flew by and I have not updated this post all summer. Once I got the truck back on the road we ran the factory front E-locker for only a little while. I found that the locker was damaged during the time my buddy had the truck in November. So in an effort to save a couple bucks I picke...

Good work sir! Could you tell where the metal chips came from that were interfering with the locker? My front carrier case had started to crack from repeated shock loading I guess, and I found some little bits like that. The metal came from the corners of the dog legs that lock the diff up.

Thanks for posting pictures. Did you have to press off the bearings to get it apart? I had to pull the bearing off to get the actuator off.

Re: 40-Inch Tire Discussion (Or anything bigger than 37's)
Well, remember, I opened this thread by saying you can do this the right way, or half-assed way. There are a few guys, who aren't around these parts who have moved to 40's. One 3rd gen guy... well his front end lasted a year and a half. And the funny part, he claimed it wasn't the 40's. He "loaned ...

Re: 2006 Power Wagon Alaska Build
So its time for an update. In November my buddy was driving our truck and both front u-joints went out and took out both inner and outer axle shafts. So we parked the truck in the garage at that time while we figured out if we where going to simply repair the axle shafts or if we where going to upgr...

Re: Power Wagon Picture Thread
Made a couple changes to our 06 Power Wagon. 2" longer controls arms, 2.5" spacer up front, 1.5" spacer in the rear and 40 inch ltb's. Making room for the tire. I still need to cut a little more off the bumper to clear the tires. http://pics.montypics.com/akwhtbst/2017-08-02/1501693910_img_20170731...

I'll be very excited if things work out for you. It's easy to stick within the norms and sit around and say "that won't work because of X and Y", but then somebody goes out and finds a way.

Re: Power Wagon Picture Thread
Thanks! So it's been a long time but I thought I remember talking with Aaron at Thuren and him saying that the reason you can't push the axles forward more than about 5/8" on these trucks is that the Trackbar frame mount will hit the coil or coil bucket. That looks to be the case in the pictures yo...

Re: Power Wagon Picture Thread
Can you post up pics of your control arms and the clearance between the Trackbar frame mount and the coil bucket? These control arms are a temporary setup until I have the time to build a long arm setup for the truck. http://pics.montypics.com/akwhtbst/2017-08-03/1501776692_img_20170802_101316.jpg ...
