I love the rending of the whole rack setup. I'm still working on mine. I've got a friend who is going to help me once he moves to Portland at the end of the month.
Hopefully, you can make it down to Moab next year. I know it's a long way though.
Basically what he said. Leave some gear behind. This way people know the site is occupied. Most are using the post method. At least the ones in Canyonlands and Arches are.
May 2017
I've been so happy with how the truck has performed. Including doing things that were suppose to be IMPOSSIBLE in a full size. The comments from folks have been mostly positive, with the occasional dumb "No way you did those."
The Moab Trifecta has finally been completed. Along with a...
We end up doing a lot by ourselves too. But we have a lot of years of experience and generally like you, always travel prepared for the trip at hand.
Full sizes are becoming more popular. You'll enjoy it. We started out with a much smaller overland rig. When we had kids and decided to travel...
We moved here back in September as we needed a place to settle down for awhile so our youngest could see a speech therapist. I've been over on NWOL site but it didn't seem to active for our area.
I'm thinking the route down to the start in Nevada should be wide open. But I dunno if it's scenic or boring, lol. Might have to drive it. Kind of bummed about NF385, think that is the one with the major wash out.
I am thinking of trying to do the Magurador (?sp) corridor later in the summer.
It's not passable. I just tried driving a section of it over memorial day weekend. During my big fat, no luck trip.
I tried two different sections and even a go around and just keep getting turned around. Even after a ranger told me a section was open. We encountered downed trees and washed out...
There are some spots along the Beef Basin which is pretty remote. Closer to town, the camping dries up. Most of the boondocking is now closed because people have ruined it. Willow Springs is a popular spot. I camped there for 14 days last year. Lots of full timers. And a lot of traffic on that...
May 4th 2017
This year, I organized and lead the 10th Annual Power Wagons in Moab event. The event has turned out really great.
Really been putting the Power Wagon through the paces again in Moab this year. It's been interesting leading a group of other Power Wagon owners on these trails...
So got to Moab, and the first thing I did was put the truck through it's paces. Went up Strike Ravine to test out the new bumper. More details to follow.
It does utilize it. So the tube from the intake runs through the fender, then you remove the stock inlet that used to go into the fender. AEV provides you with a new inlet that is larger and connects to their intake. You rivet that new inlet onto the factory airbox.
Whether that will void your...
High Clearance Bumper
Managed to get the bumper installed just in time for our May 1st Power Wagons in Moab trip. Will have to do a full review on our return from Moab on how it performed.
Onboard Air Version 1.0
So, onboard Air. I never fully finished this project. And we're leaving for Moab in only 5 more days. So I wanted to tackle this.
Last year, I ended up loaning our compressors a few times to help others. This got me thinking about not having a permanently mounted setup...
In preparation for our trip to Moab, I've been catching up on some things for the truck. My RamBoxes have been a little disorganized now for some time. So I purchased the Mopar RamBox Cargo Management system. I had it on my previous Ram 1500 and have been meaning to pick it up for some time now...
AEV Raised Air Ram intake install
The setup ....
No turning back now
Completed install
AEV ProCal Module
Managed to snag myself an AEV Pro Cal to set the proper tire size to recalibrate my speedo and set the TPMS to 35psi.
Thought on Power Wagon Ownership
We love this truck. I don't feel like much was needed to make it a real performer offroad. And even with the 6.4L Hemi, she's been a pleasure to tow with across all types of terrain. I have yet to find myself saying "I wish I had a diesel".
This truck really...
LIGHTING UPGRADES
I replaced the factory Halogens in the projectors with DDM Tuning's HID Canbus system. The color temp is 5000 kelvin. I also installed their new Canbus LED bulbs in the high beam position, it took some work, but here it is, installed and inside the cover.
I also added...
KEEPING SCORE
Not a huge decal guy. But this felt appropriate. Need to get a top decal made to the effect of 6th Annual Power Wagons in Moab...
Also added American Adventurist decal, fit us.
