Power Wagons ... Post em up!

I envy your tires. I want to get 13.5 on stock rims but I know the 37s /12.5 will slightly rub so the 13.5 will force me to do a 1/2- 1” spacer and trim some plastic

For the 13.5" width tire I recommend an aftermarket 9" wide rim w/ a less positive offset (+18 or +20). The stock rims are like +45 mm. I don't think it will sit right on an 8" wide stocker. I have an '13 model yr PW w/ 4 link suspension. I upgraded to Thuren high clearance links which net me some clearance inward. Since you have radius arms I am not exactly sure how that compared in this respect.

Hey, I'm a product of the 70s & 80s. Those decades were all about the chrome. I like the old school look. Anyway, the photos don't show well that those wheels have subtle black accents in the shadows and a machined face look (not chrome). They were supposed to come with black center caps, not the chrome. I have a message into Custom Offsets to get the right ones. I'm actually going for a mix of chrome and black. My RED light bar is black. I plan to drop the OE chrome steps and install black White Knuckle sliders. I have my eye on Thuren's high clearance front bumper in black. However, the grill is gonna stay chrome bullseye all the way. Not a fan of the black Sanchez they have going on the late models.

I gotcha. I had it on my 66 mustang and it worked. My old truck had fake chrome for the handles and grill. A few rock chips and the silver plastic came off. The weight savings made the truck feel cheap to me as back in the 60s chrome was an upgrade. Your truck looks good. I was just messing around...personal preference.

Is it me, or are you able to run lower pressures on these Toyo MTs. They came to me mounted with 35 lbs pressure. Visually verifying and even did the chalk test twice and they look bang on at 35 lbs. I just drove 144 miles today @35 lbs all around and it drove like a dream.

Sounds about right. I’ve run a set at 35 and these ones now are at 42 but I haven’t chalked em yet.

I thought those came in range E? They would have put 60lbs to start with. Do you feel any drag?

They are E. They came with 35 lbs and I left it like that. May digital hand gauge and TPMS both show 35 lbs. After I put them on the truck they didn't look bulging or floppy in any way, so I did the chalk test. The front only revealed about an inch. The back revealed ~1.5. I didn't believe the results so did the chalk test again with the same results. I guess I will run this way for another 2 weeks of break in time and then recheck.

When Raptor type owners say they don't "get" the Power Wagon...don't try this with a Raptor!

I think this is the place with some Power Wagon activity. The other site I'm a member on is a bit slow. Anyway, new PW here. Had a '17 Raptor but got tired of the ecoboost and piped in engine sound to the speakers, transmission hunting for gears etc. Traded in my Rebel for this. Rebel was nice but was looking for something more stout. Think I found it :

nice! Did you swap out the stock duratracs for the 35” version?

I did but now I'm going back to the stock tires as the stock 17X8 wheels are too narrow for the minimum width spec of the 35's. I'll probably go with some Fuel Podium 18's w/ 35's later on.

Well, the factory specs the stock wheels out as a half inch too narrow. But truth is there is absolutely no issues with this. I have ran many 12.5” wide tires on 7” and 8” wide wheels with absolutely no issues at all. They dont wear poorly. They dont pop off the beads. Simply no issues with it at all.
