Sorry it took so long to get back to you guys, busy Holiday. Hope everyone had a great Christmas!!

Anyway, things are great. It's awesome to see how the group has grown, hope all is well with everyone. I need to get back on here and stay in touch.

So... how's the Jeep?

I sold the Jeep a while back, I'm actually in a diesel for now. Missing the PW like you wouldn't believe though.

I'll definitely be in town this coming weekend Russ, we should get together.

FireRescuePW, I've been good, hope the family is well! How's that truck doing?

Truck is great. Put a little more Carli stuff on it. Bought an ARE cap a few months ago. Looks really good. Sitting right around 64,000 miles. Brad has grown WAY up! Family is well.

I bet you're loving the Carli additions.

I'll have to comb through some pics and find a picture with your ARE cap, those sure make camping more enjoyable. Tell Brad I said hello, glad he's doing well......

Welcome aboard! PW looks good. Of course we will want to know more about the crawler!

Yep! Nice truck, and welcome aboard!

Are those Krawlers 37's or 39's? Any certain reason why you went leafs up front? The rear suspension looks a little stiff

Eric, got some apple and cherry 'shine.

Bought this 2016 Laramie Power Wagon on Dec. 30th. Took a flight down to Houston from Fort Worth, TX. and had the dealership pick me up. Made the deal and drove her home. No mods as of yet but the wife wants some steps to help her get in. I'll probably go with N-Fab 6 steps ASAP. Glad to be on board and I hope to be a contributing member.

Picked up a new 16 PW Tradesman yesterday. Immediately went to find dirt and test everything north of town. Once I got the street psi rear tires out of the big holes, it crawled right up.

Not much planned. Primary usage is daily driving, random camping/hiking/biking trips, and towing the real crawler-Formula Toyota #43 which is going through a full rebuild.

Still coiled and wrapped up on the spool, that's how mine was when I got it, had to put the hook on it myself.

more about this raceing car


Sent from Canada

What would you like to know? It's a Class 3000 (Class 1 Lite) car with 20" of wheel travel at each corner, driven by a 2.2 Ecotec mated to a CVT and gear-reduction box. It weighs 2,000 pounds and has a top speed of about 105. It's won 2 championships and will be up for sale soon, in the process of a full race prep right now. A couple videos posted below of the car in action:

that's freakin awsome! Now if only I could get the rear of my truck to 20" and the front over 12" of travel I might be able to see your tail lights lol!

You can... it's called running on the square root of the dollar. Translation... spend a ton more money. The question is how fast do you want to pay for? I did a class 10 thinking I would spend less than a class 1 car and it broke me before I even had the engine done! The wife says I'm poor because I think too big? I think I'm poor because I earn too little. In reality she is correct though.

Tranny bills are the killer for IRS cars! When you spend $1,500 just on the entry fee, plus thousands on gas and hotel rooms, better gut the gearbox every race and start fresh to increase your odds of finishing. Desert racing is worse than a drug addiction, one hit of that cross-grain whoop section at 100mph and the hook is in deep...

Your telling me? Ive been out of it about 15 years and I still can't get it out of my blood. When I was plying this game Ivan Stewart was still the one and only Iron Man.

Even more mind-bending for you...

I hadn't even been to the house after leaving the dealer in those dirt pics. Then I had some synthetic rope and safety thimble laying around that won't work as needed on the buggy rebuild.

Well that I can spot! Nice replacement. I can't afford one of these things new so I was uneducated

[mi5an7hropia]

Welp, I joined a smidge before I picked mine up... I kinda lurked and researched to make sure I made a proper decision. So here is my 2016 PW Laramie

You all are really damn good at presenting information , much appreciated for sure !!

[boots]

Picking up my '16 PW on Friday. Got a decent deal on it, been wanting a PW for a decade.

Delmonico Red, SLT

First mod will be some White Knuckle Rock Rails, ( wish they had a better delivery policy) I'll have to call Monica.

Super psyched, may need a valium tonight.

[Colibri]

She's a real beauty! Welcome aboard

I just bought me a used 2012 Power Wagon Laramie with the Ram Box. This is my fourth Dodge Ram but my first Power Wagon. So far I love it. I wasn't sure about the Ram Box but after using my new truck for a couple of weeks I love the Ram box too. It is awesome to through in chains, jackets, coveralls, rifles, shovels, tools, and all kinds of other stuff. I get out in the fall and do a lot of big game hunting here in Utah. I pull a 25 foot fifth wheel camper trailer. I am thinking that this truck is going to be perfect for me. I installed a Bak Flip bed cover and so far really like it. I have also purchased the B & W flip over goose neck but have not got motivated enough yet to install it.

This is the first truck that I have ever owned that people come to talk to me at the gas station to see the Power Wagon or Ram Box. I get a lot of truckers that are jealous. Makes me feel like I am an elite 4wd outdoorsman.

Hey fellas! I've lurked on and off for a while, but last night I took possession of my 2016 Power Wagon!

Glad to be with ya! Oh and before I forget I couldn't make 2016 come up on my register/profile setup.

Let me know how the fifth wheel hookup in the rambox goes for you, please. I have been wondering if it is a possibility. I noticed the new trucks you can order them with factory installed fifth wheel mounts, but not if you get the rambox option. That had me wondering if one would even fit.
