Post by Dthomas87 » Thu May 09, 2019 9:08 pm

Hey all, super excited about my purchase last night. I picked up a 2013 Power Wagon. I sold my F250 a couple months ago and have been on the hunt since. Needed something comfortable for the family, tired of the diesel and wanted a gasser for daily driving, and needed to be able to tow our travel trailer. This fit the bill and budget. I have learned a ton while lurking on the forum, thank you all!

Sorry for missing the replies fellas. I've still been lurking on the forums and finally getting ready to do some suspension upgrades. It's pretty much still stock besides the tires and hard wired lockers. I do have to get new gears for the rear as they are making noise.. unfortunately it's been that way since I bought it, when I purchased it had some old Toyo M55s so I thought it was all tire noise.
