Just took delivery of my 19 Power Wagon on Thursday - Immediately took it to the North Maine Woods for a weekend of camping in the mud. Failed to take any photos and now I"m back down in Boston, wishing I had photos of the weekend. I'll post up pics on Friday when I'm back home. That 12" screen and multiple camera angles are something else....

That front camera they have is amazing......so much so I added a front camera to my truck. It’s nice to see what’s in front of you when you’re seeing only sky from driver seat!

Recently got my Roof Rack installed Rhino Rack 2500 vortex RS bars and Go rhino srm100 rack. I added the 3" cube light front plate with auxbeam 3" cubes for the time being. I eventually will put ridgids in but for 6 lights I got em for $70. Plan for the rack will be to store my recovery boards, rotopax fuel can(when I get it) and additional off-road or camping supplies. Looking forward to next week, 37's, Thuren springs and fox shocks all around. 884540b4e09427666fbc0436b54e164e.jpg6fc346fa9267c05dfeabe5b741a82838.jpg4fdd2c520b43422219f3ff6c28b8c94e.jpg

Nice truck!

Do all the 5 gen pw still have the old ramboxes? Didn't they redesign them?
The “5th gen” heavy duties are just a heavily refreshed 4th gen. They still share almost all components with the 4th gen trucks.

I don't, I haven't done to much to the wagon. Cosmetic stuff really. The suspension will be my biggest mod thus far. I think I will try to do a step by step on the install. Hoping I can be "done" by this time next year. Dethloff skid plate, wk sliders,. Aev snorkel and bed rack are on the list

Sweet! Your 1500 was awesome, so I’m stoked to see how this turns out. I’m also very interested in the suspension

What made you get the fox shocks instead of his white body shocks?
BC I couldn't use his overland rear shocks with my stock coils. I wanted to have the same on all 4 corners. That was my only reason

Thanks man, I want the wagon to blow my 1500 away. Plus I actually want to really get into taking this bad boy through the wringer a bit.

Don does have them on his site they are in the build your own kit section. I emailed him about different options before going this route. I got mine on Amazon though only bc I had a "S" ton of points saved up and ended up getting Alot of money off.

Thanks, I hope to knock it all out on Saturday and alignment on Monday or tuesday. I may order a rear spacer as well just in case it looks nose high.

Those 2.0 might be a bit small in rough desert stuff but they will be light years better than the bilstein stock and awesome off-road. Not many of us are going to be pre-running these big pigs. Those will be the ones I go with and can’t wait to hear your feedback on them. Most of my wheeling will be slower moving mountainous terrain.

My off-road driving is minimal right now. Hoping to get more into it and adventure into different places. Not much to be had in MD. I figured for my budget these shocks were a good starting point
