New guy going from Jeep to Power Wagon

[thejeepnewb]

Greetings all! I've been posting in the ordering thread for a while, but just realized I never chimed in here.

Currently driving a modified 2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited (you can see more of it on my Instagram here: https://instagram.com/thejeepnewb).

We just had our second daughter and I realized I needed MORE room, but still wanted the off-road features of the Rubicon (front/rear lockers, electronic sway-bar disconnect)...I never even knew about the Power Wagon until my friend got one!

Currently Active Duty USAF w/ 3 years to go!

Hey @thejeepnewb , I'm in a very similar situation as you. I'm currently driving a 2020 JLURD. You can check out my Jeep build here:

We wanted a bit more room and utility, so we're trading the diesel Rubi for a 3500 CCSB 4x4. Ordered on 3/3/22. I looked at the Power Wagon and was very tempted by its offroad chops. But in the end, we wanted more payload capacity for a heavier slide-in or a trailer in the future. Looks like we'll be waiting up to 6 months to get our trucks. I'm chomping at the bit to get started on this build!

I'm also a USAF vet. 10 years active, 12 years civil service, now a slimy contractor. I was never stationed at Nellis, but I've been there many times.
