    Power Wagon Registry

    Looks awesome Aaron. The pics on the other site were terrific as well. Looking forward to hearing how you all like it once you get out and use it!

    Thanks everyone. I will look into Frontrunner and the Smittybuilt. All the info is much appreciated. Looking forward to seeing how yours comes out Arron. Sent from my SM-G935V using OB Talk mobile app

    Roof racks for full size trucks?

    I have scoured the threads and done a lot of looking online but am not seeing much in the way of a model specific roof rack for the RAM trucks. Mine is a 2016 Power Wagon with the crew cab. Is anyone running a model specific roof rack on their 4th gen RAM? If so who is it made by. Any other full...

    Ram 1500 leveling kits

    I leveled my wife's 2016 1500 Sport with the Bilstein adjustable 5100 series strut. Very nice ride and we actually set hers at 2.1". This left the front ever so slightly lower than the front but it looks level. When we went higher it made it look like the back was squatted. I don't remember the...

    What was your first vehicle you took exploring.

    1973 K5 Blazer. I only owned it for 2 years but I don't think the top was on it for more than 3 weeks during that entire time and I went everywhere it could take me. Slept in the back seat many times in the middle of nowhere. (Sorry no pics of that one, I was still a teen). I then went many...

    What's the best wire sleeve?

    I have used a very similar product for the custom wiring on my street bikes and my trucks for years without issue. If I have an area where I am concerned about excessive abrasion or exposure I will double cover with the outer layer being either a stainless or brass braided wire sleeve. I source...

    Full-size truck from Tracy - Ca (Norcal-ish)

    I myself run a Power Wagon but my boy is running my old (now his) 1997 Ram 2500. Not a Power Wagon but a very capable rig and the PW group welcomed him right in and we all had a great time this year. We met some great people including BoldAdventure and his awesome family. Cant wait to do another...

    2016 RAM Power Wagon overland build

    At 80mph in 6th I am running around 2270 RPM. Shifts are much cleaner at higher speeds and doesn't downshift near as often to maintain highway speeds on steeper grades. I am right at 1500 miles on the 4.88 gears and overall my mileage is holding steady at 13.4mpg. I keep the bed pretty well...

    Power Wagon Registry

    I really like your list, a lot of that looks like my future plans as well. I will be really curious to see what you think of your Baroud. I have looked at them but that's not in my budget yet. Too many other things first and will most likely end up with a soft sided RTT for the time being. Near...

    Long bed or short bed?

    I realize mine is not a midsize truck. The overall basis of the question comes down to wheelbase and the effect it will have on the off-pavement capabilities. My response would have been the same no matter what my personal vehicle choice is and I was in no way insinuating the original poster to...

    VIAIR air compressor

    I run a Viair 450C (150psi/100% duty cycle) with dual 2.5 gallon tanks. I love my system and surprisingly it takes up less room than I expected overall (mine is mounted in the bed of my truck against the front of the bed). I plan to add a second compressor and 2 more tanks for a total air...

    SUV OR PICK-UP

    As an owner of multiple diesel rigs and the cost associated with making them capable off road there are reasons I went back to gas. 1. I don't haul enough to justify the cost of the diesel up front 2. The maintenance on the diesel is higher overall (Oil changes, fuel, filters,etc...) 3. Who...
