Power Wagons ... Post em up!

[Fitzreefer]

Looks nice. Doesn't stick out too, too far. How is clearance control arm side and rear fender? How much trimming did you have to do?

Finally got a bed rack installed. Still have a kink to work out with the top cross bars. I went with a 18" tall rack from victory 4x4, they typically build yota and jeep stuff. This one was listed as "universal" close but not quite. As I started putting it together since our beds are roughly 1.5" wider than a tundra I was only able to get one bolt in the cross bars as seen in the pic. I contacted victory and they are sending me out longer cross bars to remedy the issue. I decided to slap it together any way just for kicks. I'm actually pretty impressed with it. There is a slight overhang on the rear vertical posts but other than that the fit is pretty good. Powder coating is nice and mounts up solid. Another plus is I was able to fit my roll up tonno cover on. I only plan on doing the rotopax, recovery boards and a awning soon. I'm super happy with it budget was a big factor for me as this was only a bit over $800 compared to other offerings for power wagons which are well over 1k. I'm super happy with how it turned out. Should have the new bars in Wednesday and I'll try to snap more photos.

My bars will be in tmmrw and I'll definitely get some updated pics. If you do order from them I would definitely touch base with them about getting longer bars. I was dealing with Mitchell for everything and he was great.

Good to know. I know jcr was great to deal with for jeep stuff.

Got my new bars in, definitely much better. In the process of the install I realized our beds taper in at the tailgate by about 3". Had to modify the rear bar a bit by extending the bolt holes slots. Other than that the install was great. Really happy with out it turned out. I may shorten up the rear bar to match the gaps on the front but not sure yet. My OCD of not having the gaps equal bugs me.

Clearance is quite good, nothing required in the back. Up front I trimmed back the plastic liner and the corner of the flare. Grinder used to take off some of the press seam, POR-15 to cover the exposed metal. This is the video I used to determine my approach, he deserves the credit.

Thanks brother. Yeah, when I was asking about rear fender, I meant rear of the front fender. I have seen that vid. Was wondering if you did anything diff. I had a 2500 Suburban that I was able to do a relief cut in the pinch weld and bend it over with a mini-sledge, rather than cut it. I also didn't cut the plastic. I was able to reattach it further back with the pinch weld out of the way. Do you notice any handling/stability improvement with that negative off set?

Thanks. It does feel better at speed on gravel roads, just more of a planted feel is the best way to describe it. My average mpg went from 14 down to 13.2 due to the 37s.

I'm getting 20" fuel offroad's with milestar 37x12.50x20. Should be here next month finally. Since I get 14-15 evic, and 13 hand calculated, I'm expecting 12mpg hand and 13-14 evic. We shall see.

Like seeing raw (not network news generated) pics from around this beautiful country of ours. Maybe we can start a thread that shows images of where we all live? Course, PW pics are a plus for me.. truck ****
