Finally picked up my Power Wagon.

[Flea]

Its been a ride, but this truck is amazing. I finally cancelled the truck I ordered and went on a journey to find what I wanted. (Close)
Thanks @IRSmart for helping me out with the mess.

Had it four days and already put some new shoes on it and had it debadged.

Already drove it through flood zones and snow, which was unexpected in North Texas ...

Went with the new Toyo AT II Extremes. 35X12.50R17
Current thoughts ... noticed a slight float on stock duratracs and enjoy the 35s significantly more.
No noticeable float, power loss, and speedo still aligns with gps.

Have a few things I intend to do in the next few days ...

New Shoes ...

nice truck and good idea on the 35's
why did you take off the power wagon decals? I think it's the best part. Differentiates the truck from the rest. well the winch does too. haha Tonneau cover and mud flaps if you wanna keep that baby clean. I was amazed at the difference once I tossed on the AEV flaps. Check with them to see if they'll fit your 19

I prefer the cleaner look. Not a fan of the ones that come on it, but may add some accents back If i find some i like.
Yeah, might throw some flaps on there at some point ... tonneau is a must.
The next thing has to be steps. It is sitting high enough to make getting in/out and loading an infant a challenge.

I like the 35's, no hassle.

Nice truck and nice tire choice. Let us know how those wear. I was considering them but went with coopers.

 

[Travelin Ram]

Nice!

Looks like you are running the Tokyo’s on the stock wheels; do you get any rubbing at full lock?

I’m researching tire options myself.

Nice truck! It's good to see what one like mine would look like de-badged. Also glad to see what 35s look like. I think I may go that route once my current set of tires wear out.

 

[thkbaron]

I like the OE steps as they are aluminum and they were smart enough to have plastic covers on the front of the brackets so they don't get the **** beat out of them by rocks. Lots of people like the amp ones though because you retain your ground clearance.

No rubbing or any reason to trim, etc.

Was going to level the truck, but evidently height is not needed until 37s and you barely notice the rake on the 19s with the new design. You have to focus at the wheel wells to really notice it.
35s seem to be working out quite well and dont have to alter any components in the process.

Originally, I was going to strip it clean, including the RAM in the back, but it is growing on me a bit. I may leave it for a while until I get tired of it. I stripped my last truck clean, but starting to enjoy the contrast. Not big into badging. Prefer incognito and the giant RAM was a little much.

I have thrashers brand new in the box but selling them. Looking at WK sliders or the amp steps ... really like the RE sliders, but that is way too much drilling for me.

 

[thkbaron]

I see they are doing the bracket covers too. Probably too much ******** from people like me about crap rusting out due to rocks pelting them. haha

Welcome to the PW Club officially!! I know it has been months coming. I would like to see you add something back so it doesn’t look like you drive a company truck around. To each their own. good tire choice!

 

[RisingSons]

Glad you were finally able to get your PW! I’ve had mine since Nov 30 and like it more than any truck I’ve ever owned.

Question for you and for those reading this thread: Did you consider Nitto Ridge Grapplers? I’ve read and heard a lot of good things about them. I’m looking to remove the stock Goodyear’s. Thanks, and again, congratulations!

I'd get the Ridge Grapplers if I lived in the south.

Hey, thanks for the feedback on those Toyo tires (blasted autocorrect). You've sold me on the same size.

It shows up in my eyes easily here. Looks to be at least 1.5” of rake or more?

But yea, its almost perfect IMO. I like a close to level truck... but they need a little rake still or they look like the ass is saggin’.

Nice truck! Its nice to see em debadged once in a while...

That parking lot looks a bit sloped. The 2019's are also a half inch higher in the front that preceding years.

Hahaha. Company truck. You are right though, as white and black are the basic work truck combo.
