    Is PW right for me?

    The PW is big and I mean big, but it could handle Imogene and Engineer's just fine. The switchbacks will be a challenge but nothing that it cannot handle with some patience. I haven't done BB so cannot comment on that one. It also suffers from its heavy weight. I have buried mine with both...

    Any 5th gen tradesman power wagon owners out there?

    Yes, that is right. However, once these are worn out, I think I will switch to Patagonia MTs. I have them on my Wrangler and they do everything better than the KO2's they replaced.

    Power Wagon vs 2500 Cummins

    I went though the same debate and ended up with the PW. Was it the better choice? Off-road, weight is your enemy. I had a Cummins dually and it would get stuck in 2wd in wet grass and sand was its nemesis. The PW is lighter and rides better and you don't have to throw $3-$5k in suspension...

    Stock Latest Gen. Replacement Shocks - Rancho Adjustable

    I am not a fan of Bilstein dampers and the stock PW shocks are no exception. I ran 5100's on two lifted Jeeps (old Grand Cherokee and my current Wrangler) and was not impressed. I swapped the GC's out with Old Man Emu shocks, and it was a big improvement. On the Wrangler, I swapped to Rancho...

    Power wagon questions

    Anyone that has spent much time around the modern Hemi world knows it has inherent issues if not properly maintained. That is the key. Most people just change the oil every 10k miles or more with whatever oil the local shop puts in it, and drive the crap out of them. I have personally seen...

    8 Months in a PW, Was It The Right Buy?

    OP here, can we table the GVWR discussion that has been beat to death thousands and thousands of times on multiple forums? Lol.

    8 Months in a PW, Was It The Right Buy?

    I really do love my PW, but it has taught me that lesson of how weight effect off-road performance in every way. This concept has changed my thought process on the Wrangler build. At first I was going to add big steel bumpers front and rear and a full belly pan and more. This would add...

    8 Months in a PW, Was It The Right Buy?

    Early this year, I placed a PW on order just how I wanted it (Tradesman base model, all vinyl bench seats and floor, 8.4, marker lights, no graphics) after about a year of research and saving. I like my vehicles utilitarian and simple. Once I had narrowed it down to a RAM 2500, I went back and...

    PW decal questions

    No decals in white for reference to OP, but mine is a tradesman PW.

    Dave's 21 PW Build Thread

    Thank you. This mirrors the response I received from EDGE. I wonder if it part of their "increase in performance" is just throttle sensitivity, maybe until you get to 7 & 8. Edge said there adding a custom tune was not possible with their system. So close yet so far!

    Dave's 21 PW Build Thread

    David, First off, thank you for your service. I have been looking at the Pulsar and sent some questions into them, but maybe you can answer a couple from your experiences. 1. Can you calibrate the throttle sensitivity separate from the tunes themselves? I have a throttle controller on my...
