Just front coils and shocks and it rides like a 1/2 ton

Just curious. If you had the whole catalog it’d be worth trying to find a way to keep the parts in the deal. If it’s just diesel springs and front shocks, not worth bothering.

Well it’s a done deal, I am about to switch out fender flares ( take bushwackers off and put factory ones back on)
Take tool box out

One question - how sturdy are ram boxes, meaning can you throw a receiver and ball maybe a floor jack. Are they made of plastic or metal.

The insides are plastic but seem strong enough. I keep my drop hitch, and recovery gear in one.

They’re plastic and they are tough. I have them on my truck and wouldn’t give them up. A floor jack probably wouldn’t fit too well, but I keep a 60” hi lift in mine (in pieces) along with most of my other recovery gear all the time.

Just got home 11 pm here, new PW in driveway. It’s clean , I asked check out winch and controller was still in factory box.
I looked underneath and It was clean and unscratched so the previous owner bought it , put 22k miles on it and traded it in???

Pullled Bushwacker flares off white truck and will have them painted next week and order 35s tomorrow, also just want to swap out muffler for now.

I will post up pics tomorrow, haven’t taken any yet

I think you’d be surprised at how many people only put road miles on their PW. Waste of money if you ask me.

Then, most would cringe at my pinstriped paint and all the bare metal under the truck.

Different strokes for different folks.

Will that pass emissions inspection without cat and muffler

It’s behind the cat.
It passes in Texas.

Here is a pic of her, I already added shackles etc... to front. Made dividers for tool side ram box
Already ordered 35” Duratracs, Monday will drop off Bushwacker fender flares to have them painted and exhaust will be installed ( just changing muffler )

Something that looked like a build sheet was in the manual and said under name “Company Car” and listed a Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge/Ram dealership in Florida as owner ???
Maybe why it appears to have never had anything hauled in the bed ( not a scratch in it )
Not a scrape or scratch underneath ( doesn’t look like it has ever been off the pavement)

Possibly the show floor truck.
What’s the option package look like? Everything or are somethings left off?

Again, congrats! ...rides a lot better than even your previously modded truck, right?

Rbohno · Jun 24, 2018

Options is everything you can get, not one option left off

Those shackles are gonna drive you nuts bouncing around if somebody doesn’t do you a favor and steal them first. Put ‘em in the RamBox with the rest of your recovery gear.

Powerwagon is the best truck RAM makes. Period.

Going back to your OP, Another big plus you get with the PW and not the Tonner is locking hubs. You'll like those on the beach!

Yeah, when I went to sync my phone there were two full screens of synced phones in there already.
