New Power Wagon Owner

Post by mlt8806 » Mon Apr 11, 2022 1:37 am

[/img]Hello! Recently just bought a 2017 Power Wagon, it’s been my dream truck for a while, and now that I have been showing interest in the overland life, I am looking forward to reading posts and seeing everyone’s builds. Current plans for truck, muffler delete (Complete), rock rails, decked bed storage system, leitner bed rack, undecided in roof top tent, upgrading tires to BFGodrich KO2s 35x12.5x17, rear bumper w/ spare tire mount, off road bumper (undecided on brand and which style other than getting better clearance), CAI, thinking of Diablo tuner w/ hemifever tune, will be looking into further accessories for making life easier on the road. I live in Kansas, so other than some smaller off road parks and minimum maintenance roads, not too much to get the power wagon to really test her limits. Plan is to be able to make a trip to MOAB in 5 years after I have the truck built and figured out all her quirks. In the mean time, smaller trips and closer off road parks to get used to the truck and baby stepping into it, and learn and develop better recovery techniques than some of the basic ones I had learned while towing over a decade ago. I’ve been able to get her out and play in the mud and open her up a little on the back roads, and it is by far the best handling and most dun off road truck I’ve been in in my 33 years. Looking forward to all the knowledge and shared experiences in this forum.
