Tons of rear bumpers on the market so I’m not going to add a rear-bumper section to this post. But, it is neat/unique feature with the drawer for those with 37’s and not able to use that space for spare tire.

Some bad news: per their website ; and confirmed in an email request, the 46 gal tank doesn’t fit pre-2022 trucks (not even 2019 and 2020 MY). Very puzzling to me, since I didn’t think there was really any notable change between 2020 and 2021 with the fuel tank...

That’s nice, what thread was this in?

I have a set of WK sliders and a Dethloff oil pan skid plate. Both installed about 6 years ago. The coating on the Dethloff skid plate still looks like new; and is a textured coating; vs the WK sliders which were smooth and very slick when wet (I added grip tape to combat this), but also are...

Not yet, I’ll try and tackle over the summer…

There is some value in a lighter battery on a sports car, but not worth it in an 8000lb truck.

Begs the question if the Rebel will still exist. Will the “base” gas PW get regular 2500 suspension and 10kGVWR, and then offer the gas model a “suspension upgrade” package with the reduced GVWR suspension kit?

Based on images, no articulink radius arms; likely has stiff springs/not long travel like the gas PW. Unfortunately it kind of muddies the water with regards to aftermarket parts. Before the PW was unique and a lot of things didn’t fit, so mfgs would say does or does not fit PW. Now they may...

Stellantis has announced the 2027 Power Wagon will be available with Cummins 6.7L Turbo Diesel No winch due to intercooler. Gets locking front and rear axles from the regular PW but sounds like upgraded 38mm rear axle shafts Sounds like they figured out how to package the swaybar disconnect...

Did some more digging, good news / bad news. Bad news: I don’t think the heater is pre installed like @wrvond said. Good news: I assumed the heater went into a freeze plug, meaning you might loose coolant/messier install; but it looks like it goes into a “dry well”...

Denver area, our winters are variable, but usually average 20F at night thru the winter months; cold fronts will see a couple of times a winter with sub-zero temps. No, not necessary to have a block heater. But, would be nice to have heat a bit sooner, and engine will be a bit happier if it’s...

The heater element is already installed?! On the Hemi 6.4? Holy hell that’s amazing if true. I’ve had this truck for 6 years, have always wanted the block heater (would have ordered it if I had done a custom build) but it seemed like more trouble than it was worth so I never really looked into...
