Let’s see some POWER WAGONS!

[bikelanta]

Picked up my new PW Wednesday night. Looking forward to getting it on the trail. Have a Super Pacific Switchback X1 on order with an estimated delivery timing of December. Can't wait! Have a Softopper on order for delivery next month to be used until then, like @PTO.

I like this new more simplistic Power Wagon decal.

I agree alth i think it only comes on 75A edition. Looks way better than the in your face ones on the bed

Yeah, only comes that way on the 75A. Part of the reason I got that one. Also, you could get the 75A in monotone without the lower black band in many colors. The other trim levels only offer black for monotone.

@bikelanta digging the color. I am sure I'll see you around, I live in the same area.

Went from an 06’ LX470 to the wagon. Moving things over. Dethloff rack is being built to take on the Falcon XL. Fridge setup being built for the bed as well so I can move over the ARB 50qt. Trying to decide where to put the ARB compressor, might build a box and put in spare location

I bet it'll fit inside of the RAM box.

 

[Tschingeck]

Yeah I know it will. I wanted to keep those for other things besides the compressor. But I have seen a lot of installs in there. Someone makes a plate for the boxes and there is also a plate for under the drivers seat.

Also a plate for the engine bay. Now just to find a dual arb in stock - have the mount!

 

[Betarocker]

This is what I consider to be a Power Wagon.



All newer ones are just meh.

I believe the RAM Box mount is made by Dethloff. I ran his engine/tranny skid plate on my PW, great stuff, I highly recommend you PW owners grab one if you're going to spend any time at all off-road. Now I am waiting on him to make one for the 2019+ diesel trucks, fingers crossed they come out soon.

RamBox ARB Twin Compressor Backing Plate | Dethloff Mfg

This is a simple backing plate that allows an ARB Twin compressor to be mounted inside the RamBox of any model truck. The plate is made from thick 1/4″ 6061 aluminum plate to prevent flex, and is tumble-deburred to remove all sharp edges. This supports the plastic construction of the RamBox to...

Yeah the Dethloff skid plate is pretty much mandatory. It still boggles my mind how RAM thought it would be a good idea to leave a plastic transmission oil pan unprotected on the bottom of their offroad truck. That's just a disaster waiting to happen.

Look at the tremor if you want to see something worse.

I saw an anvil one like yours on McCaslin in Superior a few weeks back. Perhaps it was you?

I definitely recommend replacing it with an aluminum deep sump unit from ATS, aFe, Mag Hytech, B&M or BD Diesel or something similar. I'll replace mine when I go in for the first engine oil change and I'll have the Amsoil guy replace the filter at the same time.
