REFERENCE: 2019+ Power Wagon Armor

[el_barto]

Just making this thread as reference for people. Mods can sticky it maybe?

I compiled a list of armor(skids, sliders, guards) that fit 2019+ Power Wagons, in addition to or as replacements to the factory underbody armor (crossmember, fuel tank skid plate, transfer case skid plate, 3-bar transfercase/driveshaft/exhaust guards).

If you know of more, post them and I’ll add it in.

I might add front bumpers since would be PW specific and there’s not a ton of options, but I’ll leave off rear bumpers since any HD rear bumper fits and there are tons of options.

of course try and get your hands on a Dethloff tranny skid is not easy. Seems like someone else would jump on the band wagon and start making these.

Yeah I managed to get one last summer when they first released. Took a long time to get it but very nice piece , and puts my mind at ease that the oil Pan/drain and transmission are protected.

I have one too. Just can't believe someone else is not making them

good looking front diff guard. I have an AEV rear cover and thought about getting a front but might go with the Carli guard instead.

I can say that the carli unit is a very good insurance policy. Mine has a good sized dent from my trip to drummond island that seemed to protect the diff from a good hit.

 

[AnthonyD1978]

If I had that CJC winch/intercooler guard on my truck it would gotten ripped off the truck by now. Maybe if it mounted on the inside of the bumper and didn't have the vent holes (for gas trucks).

I need to order those CJC rear shock guards.

The Dethloff transmission skid plate does not fit the 2021 Power Wagon. There are two "scab plates" welded on the frame that block installation. I went through this with Marcus and he has to redesign it for the 21's. I actually had one shipped to me and had to return it. I was very tempted to see what I could figure out while I had it in hand.

I don't know if any of these do fit the power wagon, but I have their engine/trans skid plate and their def tank skid plate and like them.

Interesting...haven’t heard of Asfir before.

Looks like most of the products for 2019+ Rams are going to be Diesel-only. The transfer case and fuel tank skids might fit, but the power wagon comes with them already.

The front “radiator” skid looks like it would fit as well since it seems to mount to the compatibility brackets...but not sure what it would really be protecting there, on power wagons I think everything is tucked pretty high above the frame at the front of the truck.

I’ll be keeping my eyes on this company though.

That’s a bummer, but thanks for sharing. Added note to original post that the Dethloff is for 19 and 20 MY only. I’ll add a new line or update post when they list new version for 2021+

I can add that if you are around the Denver, CO area and need sliders, Loren Byers at First Choice Fabrication http://www.303welding.com/ is the guy to go to. He did mine and I am very happy with them! He welds them on instead of bolt/clamp assemblies like WKOR and Maple.

FYI, the AEV rear bumper just got back in stock. Put my order in.

Same, I really wasn't ready to spend that money right now since I had other projects going on. It's been out of stock for awhile though so I couldn't pass it up.

Did you have to make modifications at all? On the Carli website it said “Power wagons may need modifications to diff guard or diff housing” mine should be arriving today but figured should ask before I tackled the install.

nope, quick and easy to install, no modifications needed on my 2019.
Just make sure you have all the sockets and impact handy so you can be quick about installing it once you start loosening the bolts. I lost a bit more fluid than expected (still, not much) because I had to get up and go find another tool after I had already broken all the bolts.

 

[Fishnerd]

Awesome! Was trying to mentally prepare myself for grinding and cutting, which I prefer not to do! Thank you for the advise!

 

[Fishnerd]

Quickest mod/install ever! 6 bolts total (13mm for the new and 10mm oem) and less than 10min later. Luckily didnt spill a drop (or maybe unlucky if theres no fluid in there hmmmmm). Unit is beefy and protects the front and bottom.
