My power wagon build thread

[michael harpe]

Thanks to @viking1204 for asking if I had a build thread. Gave me the push to start one. Granted it probably wont have any updates for a while since I'm lacking of funds right now lol.

Trixie is a 2018 with almost every option available. Currently I have a flowmaster 50 series american thunder exhaust, rough country 4.5" lift kit, and FINALLY arriving around the 10th next month are the fuel offroad zephyr D632 wheels in 20x9 and milestar Patagonia M/T tires in 37x12.50x20. I've posted links below of where each item can be found, or who I ordered them from.

Wheels should finally be hitting discount tires warehouse in georgia today or next. So by next week wheels should be on. I'll soon have a set of stock power wagon wheels and tires with around 9k miles on them for sale. Mostly highway miles.

You did not get those tires put on yet? 4 months and counting.
Didn’t your mom ever tell you not to buy anything from China?! Lol

You have to drive that truck... meet me in Moab this spring and we will double your OD in one week. One way is about 1700 mi for you.
You should consider the PW run in Moab 2020!!

Have you not seen the Tesla semi’s?

 

[michael harpe]

Honestly no I haven't. But you have a lot more room in a semi for batteries for the electric motors..

By the way, we’re not going to run out of gas in our lifetime or anyone’s lifetime that is reading this. Every year there are more discoveries here and they’re saying we have at least 200 years of supply still in the ground.

Lol. I know. We are just messing around. I think it is impossible to own a PW (or any truck that gets less then 15 mpg ) and still think and move that direction.

Sorry OP for derailing/high jacking your thread.

 

[DeckArtist]

Oh absolutely. Tesla is making a lot of inroads.

Trailmaker, no apology needed.. unlike most forums, I dont feel sidebar conversations are a hijack. One man's comment or though may be what unlocks an idea someone didn't think of. Anyone is welcome to comment on anything they wish in my thread. Gives me something to learn sometimes and the ability to voice my 2 cents which in the grand scheme of things doesn't matter once I'm dead. Lol.

But thanks all the same for the apology. The only hijacking I wont tolerate are plane, trains, and automobiles... too soon??

Hopefully, we can still be able to lawfully obtain the oil from those soon to be yesterday's new discoveries out here to fuel our PW's in 2024. Based on the latest government regulations it looks like a big plug will be stuffed down our PW's fuel tank filler pipes come 5 to 10 years from now.

Pishaw.. Steven's transportation is shutting down their entire tanker division cause of lack of work. It was bound to run out at some point. I used to haul frac sand..

It won’t be hard to get if we keep the jackasses out of power.
