    Ham Antenna Mount

    I used the DG2ANTPF from Comet Antenna: https://cometantenna.com/amateur-radio/no-holes-mobile-mounts/antenna-mounts-and-brackets/ It works, but I am not 100% satisfied. It moves a little too much (drive thru car wash is not your friend), and the bolt hole is too soft and strips easily. I...

    Tell me why I shouldnt upgrade to a PW

    One other thought. I went from a 2006 1500 Sport that I absolutely loved until I wrecked it. I thought it was pretty good off road and have taken it to places that I probably shouldn't have.... but the Powerwagon is so much better off road that I don't hesitate going places that I was...

    Replacement grill ideas?

    Yes, I have been looking locally on craigslist as well as here on the forum. I didn't know about offerup, so I have looked there tonight as well. I think I would prefer to find a grill with the honeycomb inserts, but I also haven't yet taken the time to see if my grill frame is damaged. All I am...

    Replacement grill ideas?

    Gents, I took a bird strike during a hunting trip in Montana a few weeks ago. Damn prairie hen busted out a good sized chunk of the honeycomb on my grill.

    Tell me why I shouldnt upgrade to a PW

    Mine is the Tradesman with the Powerwagon option. Love it, and drive it nearly every day. It tows my 30ft travel trailer just fine. In fact I towed it from Nevada to Idaho a few months ago and it was just fine. I have added quite a few things to mine to get it closer to a true Powerwagon and I...

    Diff fluids update page 2

    The factory installed gaskets are reusable. I didn't change mine this time, but may get new for the next change. And yes, about 3 in the front diff, and 4 in the rear.

    Roof rack with bed cap ideas

    I have an ARE, and it's ok, but for the money I paid I think the old Raider shell I had on my 1500 was a much better shell. Would I buy another? Not sure. I would definitely look at Snug Top or Leer much closer before I would buy another ARE. --md

    quad headlights...silver vs black

    I swapped mine with the black OEM quads. I didn't notice any change in the headlight output. That said, I did replace the bulbs recently with LED bulbs and got a significant improvement over the quads with halogen bulbs. --md

    2019 Winch Controller

    I would bet money you can find a replacement from Warn for less. The trick is figuring out which one is compatible. https://www.summitracing.com/search?SortBy=BestKeywordMatch&SortOrder=Ascending&keyword=Warn%20Winch%20Controllers --md
