Thinking about buying but for some questions

If it's about Power Wagons, all generations, this is where it'll go. This is the original PWR Forum Power Wagon Technical Discussion Section. And this includes everything that doesn’t fit in any one of the other categories related to the truck goes here!

Nice! I have that truck in a 16 Laramie. Only upgrade i didn't get that i should have was the dual alternators... I'll have to fix that someday... i went with the Granite Metallic. My last truck was black and showed everything... granite matches my trailer and hides grime better.

I've heard white is great for hiding the pencil lines you can get from brush i the woods...

That's a really nice color. I wanted to go light this time. Current truck is black and my fox body is black. They look great clean but a black daily is rarely clean lol. Either silver or white was my choice this time around. I choose white as I think the white and black will really pop. I did consider the red, red black combo is sharp too.

LoL u obviously don't know me. Already mod shopping. Narrowing down exhaust options and looking for someone that still actually makes the bypass kits. On board air and train horns sitting in the shed waiting for truck. Also figuring out what I want to do for lighting.

When I bought my Raptor in 2012 I had a pile of parts waiting for it. Wheels, exhaust, lights, bed cover, vinyl, amp, subs, etc...

Because I'm an idiot lol. Got a killer offer for it and wanted to try something else. It's a great truck and was part of a great community on another forum where I had around 10,000 posts. Did some meets and went offroading together I even organized one of them.

Hoping to be just as involved here and bring some how-to's as well. Looks like a great community here so it should be fun. Really looking forward to the PW and seeing what it can do. Will def be modding but probably won't go as far as I did with the Raptor.

Is this your old truck? I've had a login on the Ford Raptor Forum site for a long time used to have an f150 4x4 but not a raptor. The 2017 Raptor's are nice but the PW is a better all around off-road truck IMO.

Yes it is. Jimmy owns it now and actually updates my old thread lol. He hasn't done much with it since he got it. I brought the truck back to stock mostly and sold off the parts. Actually sold a couple things to him.

On the way down South Park Canyon not longer after a storm washed it out. Last time I was at Eureka Dunes I looked at where the steel pass comes out into the dunes and I didn't think a PW would fit so I haven't been through the steel pass trail ever since.
