Power Wagon Registry

They recalled the recalled replacements too. It’s an example of how high quality Chinese manufacturing is for their largest and longest term customers,,, https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/buying-maintenance/amp33235534/harbor-freight-replacement-jack-stands-recalled/ Harbor Freight Recalls th...

There was a youtube channel I followed for a while where they blew up their daily driver jeep’s engine with a crappy turbocharger. Funny how the marketing didn’t mention that ‘feature’. And no, the dealer does not cover that, but they will sell you a new engine.

Supercharging was the example the dealer gave me an extreme mod that voids your warranty.

Toyo MTs are never a bad option.

On 14s and later you can run them with stock wheels, though they will rub against the suspension at full lock.

Tell us how it works out. The one I saw looked good, but other people had interesting customer service stories.

Under, between the frame rails, or in the bed in a dedicated box are the options I remember seeing.

There is a very expensive high capacity lithium replacement for the main battery that gets mixed reviews. But it’s like $900.

Well, if you were in Albuquerque I’d give you one, but it’s probably not worth shipping to CO.

I did a custom order on a 2018, it was about 10K under list. That included some RAM discounts, but it was well worth the drive.. I think you get better discounts on what they have in stock, but its not overwhelming better Given the situation, I expect that April will be a good month to order a new t...

I don’t go to Moab to stay in a hotel They got that handled too. the Southeast Utah Health Department on Tuesday banned anyone other than “essential visitors” and “primary residents” from checking into overnight accommodations or camping on private or public lands. The order applies to dispersed ca...

Not looking good.

You need the high pressure in the duratrac so they produce that satisfying balloon pop when they fail.

Depends on how good you are. I followed a guy without sliders on 37s. He didn't get any damage on a pretty hard trail, he made it over the obstacles and then he winched up on my sliders (running 33s). But he was very experienced. Not sure about the flex issue, haven't heard any. Lots of people are r...

After you get a price from your dealer call Dennis Dillon Chrysler Jeep (208) 649-9632. It might be worth the drive. I don't know if the chrome grill would work, I suspect it will but that's a guess. IIRC, people have done this in both directions (chrome for black and black for chrome), but I don't ...

I'm not too concerned with wheel specs. I'd just like to get durable wheels that will work with my Toyo MT 37x12.5x17 without rubbing on the suspension like stock does. It would be nice if they look great too, but I could live with not terrible looking.

I'm sure they passed the cheaper component and plating cost along to you, right?

Thuren's note on this is is interesting "There are a lot of trusted brands out there producing steering dampers, but they are often very lacking, in actual effectiveness."

A test. Not a scientific test, but interesting.
Thuren Suspension RAM Power Wagon vs Ford Raptor

It's all doing more raptor type stuff than power wagon type stuff, but the PW does respectably.

I'd never heard of Exped One before seeing the bumper as I was wandering around the campsite looking at people's trucks. Someone wandering with me expressed surprise, as they had heard of issues. The owners of the truck said they had none, they ordered it, it showed up on time and worked perfectly. ...

Why Exped1 bumper?

I saw one at last PWiM, looked pretty nice and the owners seems happy with it. Not cheap, but such is life.

Baja fog-mount lights.

Those mounts hanging down are called compatibility brackets. They are part of your NTSB tested collision system. They can be cross purposed for plows and other things, but in actuality, they are designed to keep low profile cars from going too far under you in a head on impact. Mine are actually pr...

I used rocks and a sawzall to get mine off. Well, 2/3rds of mine.

I had to get winched off an obstacle in 2018, and my sliders dragged a bunch of the rocks, as did several other people. Unlike me with stock 33s, the guy in front of me had 37s and no sliders and got through it without a huge amount of issues and with no damage. He was also vastly more experienced. ...

You could go full crazy jeepster with a plasma cutter and cut out your rocker panels and replace it with DOM tubing. Probably will have a minor impact on resale value...

I haven’t had to do any trimming and I’m running toyo 37x12.5 MTs on stock wheels. Rubbing and an increased turning radius, yes. But if I got better suited wheels I’d probably get rid of the rubbing and get most of the turn radius back.
