Lets see those power wagons

Patriot is a nice color too, but I wanted something brighter. I actually test drove a patriot blue one and had thoughts about buying it when I was 4-6 months out from seeing my truck arrive. However, after 4 different GM trucks in black, I wanted something bright that hid being dirty much better. Especially this time of year when the salt and crud is everywhere on Ohio roads.

To hide dirt really well, you'd have to go with silver or graphite or such color.
But even then, my truck currently is yellow due to pine pollen. There it won't matter if it's Patriot or Hydro blue...

Oh yeah. The yellow scourge should be starting up in a month or so here in Ohio.

At this point, anything other than black will be nice. I love a nice, clean black vehicle but it lasts about all of 5 min before dust and everything is visible. I can wash my black Camaro and it looks like I dumped a dusty vacuum cleaner bag on the rear of it after one drive. Meanwhile, my wife's bright yellow Renegade has been washed maybe twice a year and looks great all the time unless you really get up close to it.

Nice shot! The truck looks great. I am hoping I'm only about 2 weeks away from finally getting mine! However, I don't think Ohio off-roading will afford me an epic background like that.

Thanks.

I'm sure you're itching to get the truck and Hydro blue looks pretty epic in front of most backgrounds!

Here’s mine! Ordered December 16th, took delivery February 8th. Borla S on the way and contemplating Amp Research boards.

What size are those tires? Looks great! Did you recalibrate your Speedo? The dealers offering to do it here when I wear out the standard tires

Thanks! They’re 35x12.5 on stock wheels/suspension. I picked up an AEV procal, mainly for the tpms adjustment.

AEV procal

AlphaOBD and a bypass cable is all you need. Roughly $80 total.

He’s right. I just wanted to spend three times as much to do a fraction of the things, lol

New to the group, and just picked up a used '21 75th.
Power Wagons have been a part of my life since birth, my father owned a '60, then a '79, then an '03 (technically not a PW) but it was spec ordered by him, as were the first 2. He made them last about 20 years each, and though he was meticulous about maintenance, he didn't baby them.

I was born in '77, and that '79 was my first car. I still have the '03 too. Dad passed away in early 2020, and I bet he would have loved the "new one" in the family tree.

Just picked up my 2022 a couple months ago. Got the level 3 package. Loving it so far, definitely way better than my 2018 1/2 ton I traded in. I just sent my beadlock rings for paint match flame red powder coat. Plan on paint matching the tow hooks too. Added these side steps so the wife can get in easier. They feel pretty sturdy but we’ll see how long they last.

I thought that was an old Suzuki Samurai under the snow, then realized it's a Bronco! The Powerwagon makes it look tiny!

Me too. Had to rub the crustys out of my eyes to see a horse not a little angry Japanese guy.

Is that a flip down license plate bracket?

care to share?

It’s the AEV license plate bracket. Between the PW fairlead and my F55 hitchlink it didn’t stick out enough. Took some bending to make it work.

I still love the look of that 03 generation. Pretty cool you are keeping the tradition alive! Good looking trucks.

Awesome looking truck. Flame red was on my potential color list, but I decided to go with Hydro blue after years of owning black trucks.

Anybody know if this would work?

I don’t think it will work for the 2019+ as the fairlead is recessed into the bumper. As you can see in this photo
I had a plate flip up like that from another project. With out getting longer bolts and spacers to push the fairlead out. The bracket would not clear the front edge of the bumper. You could find one that mounts to a bumper bolt hole and flip it over. Then mount it below the fairlead. Just idea.
