After much anticipation, on my part, I present to you the start of my build thread...
2014 Ram 2500 Power Wagon
- Thread starter SonOfNeptune
- Start date
Pathfinder II
Tomorrow is/should be the AEV Katla Rims and BFG All Terrain T/A KO2's with Sunday being the AEV Front Bumper while hopefully on Saturday I will be able to catch up with the fab shop so that I can get the custom bed-rack fitted to the RAM... going to trim the weight on this one down a bit...
Oh man so jealous...I love the power wagons! I just wish they would put the damn cummins in em already!!! That and bring back the srt10 ram...but that's another rant lol
Can't wait to see what ya do with it!

I agree man... but at the end of the day RAM says the engine is too heavy for the concept.
The cummins engine is a Lil over 1000 pounds dry. It's a heavy bitch

Looking forward to this. I love the classic power wagons, but this looks like a really good base platform. Gonna be awesome!!!
I want one of the new grand Cherokees with that diesel for the fuel economy alone though
I wanna know more about your custom bed rack. What do you use it for? I am wanting to build something for my ranger kinda like that, taller though.

The bed rack hold the CVT Mt McKinely tent and the CVT Awning... The difference with the old truck to the ram is that the CVT tent should be tall enough to have headroom clearance when the tent is deployed. Unfortunately its not going to fit into the garage like I was hoping for. If I can manage it my next house will have taller garage doors.
Todays update: The AEV Bumper is coming along smartly. Considering that I am a one man band stand with a broken right (dominant) hand right now I think I am making pretty good progress. I am probably about 2 hours away from being done with the bumper. Figure that will be finished tomorrow morning. Then at noon I have an appointment to get the rims/tires installed. Im changing out the 2016 Ram PW rims and tires that came with the truck for new 34 x 11.5 BFG T/A KO2's. Needless to say I am looking forward to tomorrows. accomplishments
Gah your are my idol right now lol I love the power wagons so much!
