I agree the factor 55 is a ton better than the hook hanging out there. A lot cleaner look

debating on pulling the badges off (leaving decals). Definitely planning on pulling tape off the B pillars.

Factor 55 shackle mount (I think it looks better sticking out rather than folded) and a stubby-type antenna.

That's what she thinks as well about it sticking out lol.

I'm gonna be nice and leave the stubby one alone [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Factor 55 is on my to do list as well.

I actually like the b pillwr tape, but I want to change it to match the factory black below. And I do want to remove the pin striping when I get the decals replaced with matching black paint.

I would de badge everything that’s held on with 3M tape and leave the PW decals alone
If you were to take the vinyl off then that defeats the purpose of buying a PW. JMHO

Replace the side badges with “broad sword “ ( I believe that is the name you gave it)
Black out the Ram letters on the front grille like the tail gate.

It’ll be a superb ride especially with the competition racing suspension.
I can’t wait to see the beastly new PW named “Broadsword”

no sir I’m sure I would have given it the name ”Unicorn” because it’s magical. Lol

The main purpose of buying a power wagon is because of the decals?! LOL

I purposely bought a leftover ‘16 laramie power wagon because they are a sleeper.

I wasn’t saying take the PW decals off! I was saying take the 2500,Hemi,heavy duty,4x4 emblems off. Hopefully this is clarifying.

Yes. But what I was getting at is you also said taking off the vinyl stickers defeats the purpose of getting a power wagon. I personally bought it for the capabilities, not the looks... not that there is anything wrong with buying a vehicle for its looks.

No drag racing with this ****... I prefer to do the kind of racing I can win at LOL.

Oh trust me, I like the looks of the graphic package too. They are nice looking trucks for sure. I just like a little more plain looking truck... a sleeper if you will. I actually wanted the tradesman exterior with the laramie interior, but you cant get that.

The things I liked about the appearance was no chrome and the graphics. And a metal black bumpers. I prefer completely black rims. And I wish the tires were not white out. The hood badging on my truck look like it can be replaced with vents like the rebel but if I remove them I would have holes on my hood. I guess the 18 is different ( as the badges just stick on)
