Sorry boys,,,, I like my flip flops in Feb.... I love the heat,,,,love to sweat (and in Florida Humidity YOU SWEAT A LOT) Like going to a sauna everyday,,, nice and cleansed and shit:) WInters average highs in the mid 70's and nights in the 50's.. Surfing year round, and ALWAYS needing to ice down the cooler:) PLUS,,,, Girls are always in their bikini's!!!!!! Need I say more:):):):):):)

I did get to ride on the back of a snowmobile in Silverton Co after the Moab run,,, FUCK ME RUNNING!!! I think I went 0-60 in like 3 seconds flat (had my eyes closed most the time) UP THE SIDE OF A FUCKING MOUNTAIN!!!!!! had to change out my thong after that run;) a 2 stroke engine with a turbo that turned out 12K rpm (felt like it anyways) Was a rush!!!!!!

LOL- you sound like my brother. I'm more of a summer time kind of guy. Once hunting season and Christmas are done, I'm ready for sunshine and water activities.

Finally had a sunny Spring day so I decided to go for a drive. While on my drive I saw a hillside that made me think I should play with the sway bar. I went up the hillside as far as my pucker factor would allow.

Honestly I've never played much with the disconnecting sway bar and flexing the truck, and the hillside called me. I realized quickly that this truck will do more than I'm comfortable with. I need to find a good ditch sometime to play with the factory disconnecting away bar more. I bought the Power Wagon more for the lockers and winch- the sway bar was more of a novelty to be honest.

With it disconnected, lockers locked and if the tires are on anything solid, point it where you want it to go and it will go, dragging bumpers, rocker panels, whatever :lol: :lol:

Friday the 13th isn't always a bad day. I had AEV's Salta HD's in Onyx put on the truck and I'm really happy with how they look.

Like them, a lot--but are they as strong & functional as the stock PW wheels?

I've been toiling over those same AEV wheels, the dark slate Hutchinson bead locks, buying a set of the '17 PW wheels, or having my PW wheels powder coated black w/ the center Ram head in red, sort of like Stickman did. But the quote I got to powder coat, un mount /remount & balance is way more than just buying new wheels.

I'm going to guess they are just as strong as the Power Wagon wheel. I know they don't have the inner lip like the Power Wagon Wheel, but after looking at my stock wheel it's not that much of a lip to be honest. Also, I don't ever air down enough to where it's going to be a concern for me. I guess it all comes down to what you're going to be doing with your truck. For me, it kind of finishes off the look I'm going for.

Are the PW wheels still Alcoa, I know they're no longer made here in the US ($$$)!after the 05 or 07 timeframe, & are imported from China or Taiwan, just not sure if they're still Alcoa brand.
