Dec 2019 Buffalo Hunt on the Henry Mtns, Utah. A little muddy and some extra steep entry points!

I have an original High Country Customs, one of the first before the current fabricator started making them. They're built a lot better these days. I know a few guys running them, but none are over on this forum, just FB Groups. Like four or five of us now running these at PWIM. The new ones work with sensors. I dunno if they got that on their site yet, but two guys now have them with sensors.

That's Mike Key's truck. I've seen it several times and his video with Dethloff on tire/wheel fitment should be required watching before asking "what is the biggest tire" anywhere.

I also have the Expedition One front bumper on order for Natasha (my ‘19 PW). It has all the bells and whistles needed to directly swap out the oem bumper. In addition to that, the bull bars don’t interfere with the front camera view and there are spots for additional lights in the bumper. I know that they make for the ‘18 PW as well. My biggest complaint with them is the really long lead time (12-16 weeks). I’ll upload a pic after I get it, and install it.

Awesome, thank you!

Hello.

LOL, I was here first before the Registry and we got the Power Wagon. This was my old stomping grounds when we had the 1500 and full-time Airstreamers. Well, the towing section in particular. Been trying to check back in a little more regularly.

 

[jeffcotransplant]

well, pleased to meet you. Love your work! It's a hell of a lot better than 99% of the "do it for the 'gram" overlanders out there and I appreciate it.

I have a ranchhand on my 1500 and there was options for both a winch and park assist sensors

Now that I'm over being butt hurt st FCA I wonder how well things hold up with after market bumpers and removed fender wells....lots of snow and sand and snow removal chemicals here....any thoughts

 

[olyelr]

There is no way in hell I would remove the fender liners. Cant you just put the thing back together, or is it too mangled?

Did you get the full Bullbar Hoop also? I ordered mine on 11-30, how about you? The last update I got was middle of March. I also ordered the rear bumper.

I will also post pictures once I get mine installed.

Poser you could have at least snapped the pic in a mall parking lot

I was looking into this for a bit, pretty good looking bumper but I've seen no reviews on if they're worth a crap or not.

I have an IronBull bumper. You mentioned it in your tread so I figured I would share my experience:

Check out my write up. Tons of photos and good info. The bumper is good. There are so many options out there and making the decision on which to buy will be challenging.

I have been looking for a replacement rear bumper since I damaged mine. View media item 28945
You can add Iron Cross and Westin to your list. Both made in USA.

I like this one also. Wonder if anyone on here is running this??

I know a lot of guys running those. They look good. But I'm personally not big on some of the design choices, and they don't look particularly re-enforced.

I was reading it is a triple section system, I’d be curious to see how that works or if anyone has experience replacing one of the wings if you were to hit something?
