Power Wagon Registry

Unless you like doing transmission repair and similar heavy work in your garage and have another reliable vehicle there comes a time when most people say “enough!”. When that is depends on the person.

Mine came with 2 keys remotes. The remote and the hook were in the passenger side floor box, the winch cable still had the factory ties on it, it was a pain to remove to put in the synthetic line. The sliders, the diff covers and the bed cover were installed.

Nice.

Who had the block of 2x4 labeled 'pedal commander' at last PWIM?

I prefer the Columbus McKinnon or Crosby shackles over “off-road” hardware. Iirc, the 12.5 ton alloy shackle will break at >50 tons. The off-road stuff is usually specified at 50% of breaking strength. And shock loading starts at 200% of the load. The soft shackles are also a possibly. Not much chea...

The biggest consideration of 35s vs 37s is where are you gonna put the 37 spare as it won't fit in stock location. I've thought about that. I'd love to do a vertical mount on the bed cover, one one each edge next to the Ram boxes. I think if I elevated the tire about 2" off the bad the doors wold b...

Competition is good.

If you take the diy approach, just be careful if you decide to weld the sliders to the frame. Apparently the hydroformed steel is sensitive to welding and requires a specific approach. I can’t think where I dug it up last exactly, but ram has released literature detailing their preferred methods to...

I live at ~6000 feet, middle of Albuquerque is like 5500. When I turn on a dive computer set for compressed air in my living room it issues low partial pressure 02 alarm.

If you want WK sliders hold tight, they're going to be one of our title sponsors for PWIM and we're working out a discount. Should finalize this week.

I don't suppose any suspension sponsors might do that too?

i heard the dash light may be turned off from the factory and thats why i havent noticed it

It was off on mine until I turned it on via the control panel. It pretty much only goes on when I’m coasting.

Have fun guys and don't forget your spare tires.

Have fun

And if you are still driving stock tires, I found there were no replacement duratrashes in Moab last year after I destroyed one. Or even anything close that would fit on a stock wheel.

Aluminess sliders are steel. The problem with them is that they mount to the body just like step bars. Maybe OK for incidental bump protection, but not OK for hard hits and intentional use. The body mount can be strong enough. There is the hardcore Jeep trick where you cut away the rocker panels an...

Partners are helping us by covering the BLM per person per day per trail fee that the government thinks is acceptable.

“One million dollars.”

Nah, it's an outdoor truck.

Does it work as promised?

Can you explain what features we might want to modify in the ECU/PCM?

This is sounding very interesting. I don't think the Ram 2500 is listed in the list of supported vehicles, but I assume it's wrong.

So when are they replacing the stud?

Have you pumped any of that "special" fluid into your tail pipe?

That's how you keep your engine from rusting, right?

It doesn’t always lock up like that, though it should. Don’t wait until you are trying to climb the obstacle and need them to turn on the lockers. Do it when you still have some short distance before you need them.

Man, I would love to do this! Not sure I have the stomach to put my truck through this just yet though... Do y’all just camp out in the park all week? I made a few of the trails with a new 2018. It was fun, no major damage other than a couple of duratrashes trashed. I just crashed in the back seat ...

If you’re a calm driver and go with a light or mid weight 37 you will probably see consistent or even improved mpg over stock.

So what’s a light or mid-weight 37?

Or the antennas for GPS and sat radio. I'm pretty sure they would get crushed.

interesting. I’ve seen criticism of the zr2 diesel that is was a little too small. Obviously you disagree.
