2017 testing

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!

Not much flex in the vehicle in the first video. Axles didn't even look like they moved. :o

They were setting up a recovering demo with the Power Wagon.

Yes, doing some winch training, or playing if you will... :)

Doing this again? Nice of them not to invite any of us. It's probably another weaksauce marketing even where they invite the auto blog journalist out and run a bunch of trails in Moab. There is a few videos of this from previous years on youtube.

I say weaksauce because they use guides and tell the journalist when to do stuff. It's not pushing the trucks to the limit, so much as posing the trucks on all the preapproved routes and doing the pre=-approved order of operations for the cameras.

Also, they don't air down.

Oh, looks like they have Nena Barlow again guiding them. She's already tight with Jeep and Mopar. Makes sense.

And, from my understanding, she owns a Power Wagon now.

I've seen her stuff on Jalopnik. Would be cool if we could get someone to do some recovery instruction for Moab. Could be good knowledge for n00bs.

I'm sure we could do something. She moved right next to Wendy's on main Street in Moab. Could just ask.

Yup, it sure is. I did not see that upon first look. I see no reason a PW couldn't make it up to that point though. It's going further that presents the problem, or someone got scured ! :lol:

After catching air for the first time this weekend, there's no way I would take a stock truck and buck it like that haha. My factory tuned King 3.0's weren't enough to keep my front bumps from going full compression
