Just bought a 2006 Power Wagon this month, took it wheeling last weekend. 3D trail in Moab as a simple shakedown proved this 130k mile wagon is in need of some love. New shocks, modules, case selector switch, seat cushion, signal stalk, head and tail lights, fog lights, and control arms are all on the way. Hoping for a locker bypass and nanny switch too! It really needed to lose abs in the sand LOL!
It came with 35" tires so there's some rubbing when aired down. I'm hoping adjustable control arms will help fix that because the caster adjustment is frozen in place, bolt welded to the rubber. I figure if I'm tackling that, I may as well upgrade to heim joints or something.
So far really impressed!

No worries about the app and this post. Just take a few minutes to learn it.jessiedepiphany wrote: ↑Wed Oct 09, 2019 2:48 pmOkay sorry I don't have any advice or relevant commentary pertaining to your post.

Welcome to the group. Curious, which drone did you use that followed you filming? It's pretty cool.
Re: Just took my new to me Power Wagon to Moab
Yeah, not sure what that post was about, I'm the OP.
My buddy has a Mavic Pro drone that I ended up buying from him after seeing this video. The thing was practically flying on it's side in 25mph gusts while following us as he piloted it from the backseat of the Power Wagon. I was really impressed.
Just fixed the shocks on the truck by replacing them with bilstein 5160s. Replaced the tcase selector switch but still occasionally get the 4WD Service light out of nowhere. The caster bolt is frozen in place on one side so I get some rubbing on the fenderwell. Definitely need new brakes and front U joints Just going through getting her back up to speed! Excited to go back to Moab from SLC soon and try both the drone and the truck out again!

Sounds like you have a few parts to replace.
