Power Wagon Registry

There is a huge range of hardness and strength of aluminum alloys. I don't know what alloy they use or why they chose it, but I'd bet that "resists sharp rocks" wasn't a big part of the selection criteria. Several people at PWIM had thoughts on how to protect the drive shaft, but we'll see if these ...

Yeah, they explode instantly when they make contact with a rock. They are as thin as an aluminum can. I'm not joking. It's not really the first thing you need to replace. Just don't use your drive shaft as a rock slider and you'll be fine. You want ramps. Not ledges with undercuts. That will get yo...

At least one destroyed on the rocks at PWIM a few weeks back. A couple of others got some nice battle scars. There were 3 that failed at PWIM last I knew. Two rear and one front. The front one seemed to just have a catastrophic u-joint failure, the shaft might have been ok. The rear ones were cut i...

I only tried once, and it was on the trail and getting dark after I tore the side out of a duracrap. So maybe we could have gotten it to fit given more time to mess with it. But it just didn’t want to go, so it went on the bed cover.

Going to order shortly to hopefully coincide with the trucks arrival.

The dealer did mine, for a fairly small fee that got rolled into the financing. Not that you can’t do it, but they are big and heavy.

Good deal! Man I should just buy one of these damn things for a spare once and for all already lol!

Where abouts in Michigan?

The aluminum wheels don’t mount using the stock spare winch. I’m sure you can make them fit, but you’ll have to fiddle with the part that goes through the hub.

I scraped the hell out of the bottom and lower outer edges without needing them to be wider. But an interesting option I guess I missed.

I got shipped a complete door on a pallet by OTR truck. It was $150 from Indiana and took a week to arrive. I doubt your stuff would be that heavy or large.

I’ve just got the standard diamond plate. Didn’t know there were options. Not sure I’d have taken it, as that puts the truck weight on the small SS screws that fasten the plate to the slider. This seems likely to end badly. It it’s pushing the DOM tube out that wouldn’t be so bad, but it still incre...

The outer edge of them is the round dom tubing.

Unless you are very short that isn’t where you put your foot. Your foot touches the outer edge of the plate, then you rotate the foot to flat on the plate as you get into the truck.

So new door is on. About 3 hours including swapping the door panel etc. Still needs paint, but a lot less work.

At least it’s not the awful lime green.

Rediculous. No leather & 88k? Why not take a 2500 diesel and make it into a Power Wagon. That may be worth 88K

The was a guy with an AEV prospector at PWM, which is a diesel. Seemed to work fine.

Toto 37x12.5s will rub on suspension components with stock wheels but you don’t need to trim anything.

Ok. I’ll check the assorted bolts and then just be careful.

Z turn on moab rim.

Nice.

Backup sensors are actually pretty useful when not climbing rocks. Though the camera is good, I’d have backed into a pretty high ledge on Moab rim crest as I parked without the sensors on.

these are 37 toyo MTs you are running? yea, its going to be squirrely. the check is, find the speed that makes them squirrelly, if they are the same kind of squirrely at 75 and 85 that they are when at 65 MPH, then your ok. just not used to a True MT. and you could use aftermarket trackbars, specif...

The Gen 4 High Clearance looks interesting. Going with a Class 5 hitch on that? Where does the trailer electrical connector go?

The front door is damaged, but is much less damaged than the back. It seems reasonably fixable by the people who do paintless dent repair, or I can live with it. The back door is more damaged than it shows in the picture. It's a bit dished in. Never going to forget to turn the wheel before backing d...

I am on OEM, but only about 6200 miles.

That looks like a very expensive box of fun.

OK, so ebay it is. Apparently it came off a 2018 power wagon too.

Well see in a week or two if it as good a deal as I think it is.

Thanks!

OK, that was pretty awesome. Hope to make it next year.

I don't normally drive long distances at high speed in the truck, so I might be misunderstanding this, but with new 37's at low 40 psi I found the trucks handling at 60+ a bit disconcerting last night driving back from Moab. I don't remember this on stock 33's. I can't describe it really other then ...

I'm thinking the offer I have for a used but much less damaged door delivered for about $600 is the cheapest way to fix it. This is for a same model year same color door. Anyone disagree? The door works, the window works, it's weather tight, but it's actually more damaged then the picture shows. It'...
