Howdy y'all,

New to the forum but I've had my 2014 Power Wagon for 3 years now. Awesome truck, still only got 54k on the dash. Haven't spent an money on aftermarket stuff. Although not the most ideal model for it, its mostly just a tow rig for my Jeep and other toys. Last June I towed my jeep from Connecticut to the Rubicon trail in South Lake Tahoe and stopped at Moab on the way back. Only trouble it gave me was a slow ride up to the Eisenhower tunnel in CO. Other than that it performed awesome towing out west and the truck has done everything I've asked of it. Maybe in a few years I'll take her through some of the green trails at Rausch Creek in PA...

I get you. To be fair, about 20 minutes after that picture I slid downhill into a tree and had to have a new bedside welded on lol

Extend your breathers, folks. Did mine on Wednesday. You can see all five (yes, five) breathers that need to be extended: both diffs, transmission, transfer case, and evap system. Evap was a PITA because the factory vent isn’t a hose, it’s a plastic tube you have very little access to. I managed to cut it with a hack saw blade, slip a 5/8” hose over it with a hose clamp and run it to the engine bay, where I put the factory mushroom back on, again with a hose clamp. The other 4 breathers were a simple extension of the existing hose (except for the trans which was only 2” long so I just replaced the whole thing) using 3/8” fuel hose, brass barbed couplers and hose clamps for good measure. Others have gotten away without using clamps and just relying on the friction connection, I like the piece of mind that the redundancy of the hose clamps provide. I KNOW the system is leak free until the breathers. This also allowed me to pull a few inches of the new hose for the diffs down to account for my additional axle travel. I don’t want the hoses pulling tight and popping off offroad, that defeats the whole purpose. For those that ever plan on playing in water offroad, this mod is a must.
