You got me a little excited because I thought you actually put Power Wagon mechanicals on a base truck instead of just cosmetic stuff. Personally I don't care too much about how things look, but rather how they function. This kind of reminds me of a few guys in high school who put dual exhaust and GT badges all over their V6 Mustangs.

So exactly what did you do to it? The only Power Wagon thing I see is the decal on the tailgate? Did you install locking differentials, swaybar disconnect, winch? What about the suspension?

That's all coming next. Have collected some of the parts not all of them yet. The previous interior was in rough shape and the tailgate was all busted up. This is why the cosmetic stuff was done first

I do the same as well. I buy base models and build them as I please.

Looking forward to see it completed.
