A couple of small mod updates, but nothing crazy. I found some folks using OEM mud flaps on another forum and they looked like a pretty robust but also flexible option. I figured I'd give them a shot and see if they keep the truck and cleaner and keep some of the rocks away. These were pretty...

Living the dream right there!

Bagged my first Pennsylvania Grouse! IMG_5097 by ebeiersdorfer, on Flickr

I headed over to Allegheny National Forest for a quick hunting/camping trip. I wanted to get out another weekend for a bit more hunting this season, but here in my neck of the woods it's been a very warm Fall. Great for me camping, but really tires the dogs out fast. This was my first time...

Yup, just came back to post this video from TFL stating the same: I think Ram was just a little misleading with the whole "same bones as the Power Wagon" marketing tag line causing the confusion. I imagine these will still sell, but unless you need either the payload or the tow rating the...

How's everyone's season looking so far? Managed to pick up a 4 Grouse and a couple of Woodcock between my dad and myself up in the UP last week: IMG_4920 by ebeiersdorfer, on Flickr IMG_1642 by ebeiersdorfer, on Flickr IMG_4955 by ebeiersdorfer, on Flickr IMG_4942 by ebeiersdorfer, on...

I picked up a 2 Grouse as did my dad, he also bagged a couple of Woodcock. I think it was probably the most flushes I've seen/heard in the past few years going to the UP, but as with Grouse hunting a lot of the flushes were pretty far out. I saw I think more hunters out there than previous...

Spent the past week in the Upper Peninsula chasing Grouse. Lots of great color up there this time of year and explored around to some new spots. View from the 'Grouse House': IMG_4850 by ebeiersdorfer, on Flickr Stumbled upon a pond at the end of a two track: IMG_4861 by ebeiersdorfer, on...

Yeah Ram definitely seems to be very ambiguous about some of the features the Rebel may or may not have, especially the Articulink. we'll have to wait and see what shows up at lots or gets in the hands of reviewers to know for sure. But I have seen the same comments about folks running 1...

On our last day we awoke to a storm which was projected to stick around all day. I continued along on our route to Stuart and Bickle Knob. As we climbed we broke into heavy fog, making a stop at but decided not to hike up the forest road to Stuart Knob. We continued on to Bickle Knob, again in...

If you take a look at Ram's promo video for the truck it does not show the Articulink front control arms: Articulink Arms:

Not sure how much looking you've done recently but pretty much all Rams have gone up by 10k plus in the past year. I was looking at Power Wagons around this time last year and couldn't find anyone to budge from MSRP so I decided to wait. I should not have done that as a base Power Wagon went...

At Todd lake I slightly rerouted our next day to cut out a little bit of double backing and had us set out on some main roads. A great benefit of this is I found we would be passing Fort Edward Johnson which was a civil war era confederate fort. There were some great views and even some of the...

From camp in the morning we loaded back up in the Power Wagon and began the climb up to Flagpole knob. DSC00542 by ebeiersdorfer, on Flickr DSC00595 by ebeiersdorfer, on Flickr After taking in the views for a bit we headed over to Reddish Knob and had lunch. DSC00624-Pano by...

First trip out for the new Power Wagon was to the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests, we took some time off work and enjoyed the outdoors for a bit. The trip contained some revisited spots along with a bunch of new exploring. To start off the trip off we climbed up the forest...
