Ditto on everything he said. I had the exact setup on my 2012 ram 1500. The spacers were crap. The tufftruck springs are STOUT. I had Bilstein shocks in the back as well. With 1000 lbs of cargo and tongue weight, the truck sat level with the front at 2.8. Rode way better than my now current...
In addition to a good compressor, you need a winch recovery kit. Learn how to use the winch safely, and learn the capabilities of the wagon. It will do amazing things if it fits the trail. I have had lots of different offroad rigs, and the power wagon is the best I have ever had.

Nice list. If you want something that will actually be useful under your 8000lb beast, consider this instead of Maxtracks

I use them for my wagon, and they work great. We have a horrible breakover angle, so something you can bridge with is helpful.

Because I have owned many different offroad rigs that were way too over built by me or previous owners, I chose the best factory built capable rig for my needs. Every rig that I had that was awesome offroad, sucked on the highway or needed a trailer to get to the trails. For my needs, I went...
It is a concern for me as well. While my truck is much larger than yours, I still load everything with thoughts towards center of gravity and axle loading. I go to scales to ensure that we don't overload the axles based on the door sticker. My truck is about 8000 lbs loaded, and with our trailer...
Very spirited driving will get single digits in a wagon. I drive like an old man and have seen as high as 15 in mine. Normally around 11-12 combined for me, 8 towing and wheeling.

This is making me feel better seeing other peoples averages. I have been getting 14+ in my 07 power wagon. My truck is 8000lbs loaded, but I have 35s, computer upgrades with speedo calibrated, freespin hubs, and I run 2stroke oil in the gas. I have to run premium, but the better mileage offsets...
I had a boat compass in my last truck. Way more accurate than a factory compass. I needed it for search and rescue.

Nice cabin. We are thinking of building a cabin if we find some property in Colorado. Is that a Polara in the background?

While I like the Rpod, I have to disagree with that statement. I have 78 gallons of freshwater in my 2017 Outdoors RV Blackrock 20rd. No slide, 20ft, dry bath. I have 40 gal each for grey and black tanks, and 4 6volt batteries. Plus I have 2 30lb propane tanks compared to the Rpod single 20. And...
