Lets see those power wagons

[Rockcrawlindude]

Literally more pinstriping on a single vehicle in one day than in 15 years of vehicle ownership combined.

That being said...I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Pine-striping :thumbsup:

Down in Baja, we just call it Tecate pinstriping.

That's because the first ones usually start somewhere just east of Tecate on the first trip.

I got a drone and went to Moab. Made a little video... still learning the editing software and the drone, but check it out.

New tent topper installed this past week. Can’t wait to get it into the wild.

Thanks to @austins_dreams for the help this weekend wrecking my fender. After a few "what's the worst that could happen"s and a lot of swearing, we successfully installed the snorkel.

I'd also like to give a special shout out to AEV for the missing hardware and not including any templates or instructions in the kit.

Looks fun and good installed. Just ordered one this morning.... Outside missing some hardware and a template the directions were pretty spot on? Any chance you want to take a picture the engine bay where you installed the new parts?

@TrailWhale, you my friend are a brave, brave man! I am sure that first hole was a little stressful to drill. But like all your upgrades, it looks awesome! And congrats, I think you're the first one I've seen do it!

@TrailWhale It could be just the picture looks deceiving, but boy does that fender area look tight. I'm worried that it's going to restrict a lot of airflow. Notice anything different in the truck with it on?

If you have some automotive mechanical experience, the instructions were okay. IMO they were on the vague side and not specific for the Power Wagon. One step is to remove the lower grille via 7 retainers accessed from under the truck, which would be fine for a non-PW truck...but we have a winch and some of those retainers aren't really accessible. Read the instructions before you start so you have a good idea of what's going on, you'll notice several steps missing (like reassembly of headlight and grill)...

Don't try to cut steps with fender and headlight removal, we tried but quickly realized that the headlight has to come out. The new lower air box is basically molded around the headlight.

I can get more pics, do you have anything specific you're looking for? If you're wondering if it could be mated to a CAI (like S&B) it can't without some serious fab work.

Before the first hole, it's center punching the holes! That's where it's no turning back lol

I don't see any worries with airflow, it's pretty girthy. I'll keep an eye on MPG and see if there is anything to report back with.

I will say I removed a S&B cold air intake so I could install the snorkel (they're not compatible) and I feel like the throttle response is slightly more sluggish than with the CAI. I also have a Pedal Commander, so it's an easy fix.

I was more worried about the airbox and the 2nd battery I have installed. Only after I ordered it did I think about if they’ll fit together. 2nd Battery, stock air box. There is about 1-2 inches between currently.

Is that the NH aux. battery cage? I need one but am having a hard time swallowing the $300 price tag. Seems a bit insane for a cage.

I’ll try to get you a pic when I get home. You should be fine though. The new air box retains the stock air box lid, so size is close to stock.

Well that looks like it should fit. Thanks for the picture.

It is a pricey item. But based on what I’ve done so far it’s been worth it.

Headed to the brothers shop this last Sunday and installed the snorkel. Fit right in next to the NH Overland second battery tray with no issues.
Powder coated the included stainless steel hose clamp for attaching the scoop to the main body.

Little powder going on. Amazing what you can turn a free oven on Craigslist into. Bake at 450 for 5 mins, drop down to 400 for 20 mins.
Remove and let cool.

And while I was there at the shop... The bro and I built a tow bar plus a rear rack and installed them on
this Rokon I picked up a few weeks back. Up next for this guy is a trailer and log skid. What a nice relaxing weekend.
