New power wagon

[liljohn30]

Just got a 2018..power wagon
Need some input for mods..
I want to put a front camera maybe side cameras and utilize the touchscreen to view it to any members know what I need...
Led bar in front grill,rather not a bull bar
Are led bulbs worth the investment,was looking at the gtr gen2...
Aev rocker pod is on order for center of dash...
What’s best tuner,if one is available or should I just get the calibration tuner for speed..
Truck came with 35x12.5x20 rims , I have a feeling the backspacing is wrong at full-turnthey rub

This ain’t a stick up, but......"..... How much money you got? Seriously figure out what you plan on using it for and then that’ll get you some more input. With it being a Power Wagon there isn’t much you need to do

Welcome. Nice Truck ! Mopar parts online has Trailer Camera wiring kits . I don't know if they're compatible with the 18's for sure. IMO. Should be doable.

I just got back from Moab and I would have loved to have a front camera..360* view would have even been better.

Welcome to the Club!

I suggest you sell those rims as no one will take you seriously (off road speaking) with 20s. Haha.
Seriously though. You need more rubber. 17 or 18” rims is the most I would go. I would have 15” if it would fit over my calipers.

how about a inside grill mount light bar or ditch lights (see my build thread for the ditch/a pillar lights)

if you want to get it tuned then get some exhaust work done and maybe sped up timing running 93 octane, to make it worth a tune. If you want to make some small adjustments including tire cal, then look at getting the “Tazer” and “Pedal Commander”

@Maligator can help you with lights for sure as he has a few. And @IRSmart has done some camera work on his rig as well as lights. So I am calling on the PW gods of the 4th gen PW

It’s funny you say that about the rims I wish I could find a set of 18s and swap

Yeah I didn't know if you put those wheels on or not, but def take them down to a 17" and through some different tires on with a larger sidewall. people always forget that tires work as part of the suspension, braking, steering, flex etc....of the vehicle's dynamic. I see these Guys with their 24X12's and stretched sidewalls and I say to myself, WoW, just, WoW and not in a good way. To each his own but come on Guys really? Oh and throw a Pedal Commander on it, you'll thank me later.

I have around 15 K to dump into it if I wanted to the truck is all that I need I just wanna put some lights on it and try to keep it as factory looking as possible on the interior

Some hate them but aev saltas in silver are $150 a pop and they have the right offset for 35-37 tires

My Pro Comp's were about that price if I knew that then I would have bought those instead. That's a good price especially for AEV

tires and wheels both should be in the trash. actually put em on craiglist. some clown building his grocery getter will scoop them up

Thats being just a touch harsh maybe.

 

[crazy jerry]

well you said they were fugly. 35s and 20s skateboard wheels should be a crime on any powerwagon.

+1.

LOL, just realized what thread this was. I thought you were talking about a set of stock wheels and tires

 

[TerrysWagon]

I second the Pedal Commander. Best mod I ever did. Worth every penny

First off welcome to the club! Judging by those pics it looks like those wheels poke out quite a bit. If your looking for new wheels a +18 to +27 is the sweet spot for power wagons especially if you wanna throw 37s on youll get by with very minimal trimming with those offsets.

I did a 20" light bar behind my grill. Basically just used a piece of 1" wide 1/8" flat bar and bridged it across 2 points on the back of the grill and mounted my light to it. The first pic i used is someone elses grill and they used angle but you get the idea
