Looking good, Your spare is taking up your whole bed. One question where is your air compressor mounted?

 

[pwjouster]

air compressor is in rambox driver side , which fills a 2.5gallon tank, which has a quick connect port in the rambox itself.

wheel brand is Method
this is an entry level faux beadlock, still a great wheel.
they make the same style with a real removable beadlock that can be replaced and painted. much more expensive.

Did you have to switch to synthetic rope for the winch?

Thanks, makes sense now, I don't have the ram-box that's why I did not recognize that spot.

Which mount is that for the spare in the bed?

Imagine more like overlanding, not rock crawling.

Jw Corbett is a 60k+ acre WMA and with a hunting license you can “scout” year round. Sugar sand, high grade gravel roads, mud bogs and, shallow Everglades. Some rock parks around further north or near the west coast.


Mud bogs and sugar sand is where the powerwagon excelss over vehicles with heavy diesels or no lockers

Bad ass Wagon, dude! Hey does the Thuren system dampen out or eliminate the HD Truck bounce on concrete expansion joints?
I know that's not the main design point for a stage 3/2 suspension but I need just a little more persuasion with my wife for a Thuren upgrade and telling her less wiggle when she's shotgun will go a long, long way.
Thanks

first place to start is with Thuren. a couple main factors.

Rear trackbar
Swaybar
Coils/Shocks

changing over to thuren suspension with kings, coils, and both trackbars was a massive improvement. all you should really need to get er done.

but what totally transformed my truck(considering im in your exact position), was the swaybar disconnect. (i do not have experience with the Thuren active rate Sway bar)(i believe thurens swaybar will not make your GF any happier)

disco swaybar on road is the best improvement ive made to the truck.
you must have a solid tuned "tight" suspension to run no front sway on road for safety in emergency scenarios like evasive maneuvers.
stock suspension and no swaybar and youll feel like your driving a canoe. With the thuren kings and coils, the body roll is mitigated with tuning and negates the need for a swaybar with no load.

no HD truck bounce here.
