Well after selling my 1500 and going to a 16 Jeep srt I really missed having a truck and being able to off-road. Plus the jeeps interior was not dog friendly!

I’m now the proud owner of a new 2018 white power wagon! I was going to wait for the diesel but it’ll be the new body style and I’m not a huge fan of it.

I can’t wait to start blowing money on it [emoji23][emoji23]

C'mon, Mc, you forgot the cheapest mod of all...peeling off the B-pillar tape!

Great rig, OP...when my Rebel grows up (or I get a bigger garage), it wants to be a Power Wagon!

Looks like factory ride to me. Stock 33” tires makes the wheel wells look higher, and no sliders or step tubes. I think it’s an optical illusion.

I already have a pedal commander from my Jeep so I’m good there!
I’m a little undecided on the exhaust. I want to Delete that massive suitcase resonator and hide the tip so it doesn’t get dented if I get a serious angle going off-road

I gotta look at some pics without the b pillar tape, I thought it might like good with tints all around

I tried fitting it into the garage at my apartment...about a foot too long unfortunately. She’ll have to sit outside till I move

Correct! I’m only going with the best stuff on this rig so I’ll be waiting a little to get white knuckle sliders [emoji41]

Smart man.

Add 35” or 37” tires (the OEM Duratracs puncture too easily), Purple Cranium half spiders, Dethloff transmission skid, and Dodge Off-road steering brace to your list.

Ditching the resonator won’t hurt anything, but don’t feel like you need to do it right away. I off-road the crap out of mine and haven’t had any problems with mine hanging out the back. Rocky trails, mud, snow... no problems. If you do want to make exhaust changes for off-road clearance, don’t forget the muffler too. The factory muffler, being oval, hangs down pretty low, mine has taken one minor rock hit so far. It would be worthwhile to replace it with a smaller unit and tuck it up higher if you’re going to do exhaust.

Yep, I would agree bigger tires need to be on the list. But you'll need a level kit for 37s. I also vote for a brush guard or bull bar.

Nice choice!

Welcome back !!! We've missed you my friend ! It's been too long ...
The PW has the 6.4L Right ?

There's been lots of findings in the synthetic oil thread since you've been gone ! Take a read over there !!!

The 6.4L oil of choice seems to be Redline 5W-40 coupled with the RP 20-820 Filter .

Glad to see ya back !

How high you gonna lift this one ??

Yeah it has the 6.4, I’ll be switching to redline on my first oil change.

Hahah this one won’t be going high, just a level.

Now the leveling kit may be a serious upgrade [emoji23]

Full thuren kit perhaps
