I think the main issue and risk was missed here. Pulling with a winch cable, slowly, is pretty much the same as using the winch normally. The biggest risk has nothing to do with the winch so long as you're smart and don't shock load it. This is why I don't run synthetic line on my Power Wagon...

Thanks for the info guys. This is all the first I have seen of actual evidence of use of the InReach. It's good to know there is a good opinion behind the GEOS Alliance team. Thanks!

I have a question for the InReach owners out there. I was sold on it until I couldn't find a single drop of evidence of it ever actually being used for its intended purpose. I couldn't find one example of an InReach actually being used for emergencies. It has stats on their website of "saves" or...

Very cool thread, Jesse! Digging the photos. I have an almost identical truck to yours, but mine is a 2011 Power Wagon. I was looking through and saw that blue Power Wagon and thought... wait I know that guy. Hey that is Eddie! Enjoy those Kings man. I put 3.0's up front and 2.5 bypasses out...

I do want to make it clear that rruff's math is correct, but the assumption is incorrect. I'm speaking from experience, that you would have a noticable, but still livable difference if you went up to 37" tires, with the Cummins. I did make a mistake and was thinking that those tires you are...

I need to throw this in here haha, this is incorrect. - Inertia (Not rotational momentum) increases exponentially based on the distance from the hub to the tread. Going from a 31" tire to a 37" tire about doubles how difficult it is to accelerate. Momentum does not change based on any...

I have a 2011 Ram Power Wagon (3/4 ton) and I'll throw my thoughts in. -I would highly suggest ditching the MRAP rims and going with good Method or Trail Ready wheels. They are very well made, come in the exact sizes and backspace/offset you need, very strong, easy to balance, come in...

Sounds about right! I don't need to be popular here. Anyhow, good luck with the build man!

Haha hey man, ease up. I'm not trying to be cruel but I can't have remorse for trying to save you lots of time, anguish and money. Obviously I am speaking from a realm where I have strong limits on those, and if you are coming from a place where you have a strong supply of one of those, power to...

I'm just going to be frank here. This is all meant in a positive light: Dude. Get serious. Stop it with the hydrogen fuel cell. What is the issue with running the engine? I would brave the depths of the living room and have a nice firm talk with the wifey on that one. Drop the fuel cell idea...

Hey bud, cool ideas! I'm going to pitch in here. Just keeping it to the point, all of this is meant in good faith :) I happen to have experience working with AC on this scale. We built Command and Control vehicles, primarily out of Chevy Tahoes and Suburbans. We did a retrofit kit where we...

4x4runner: I do not know the dimensions of the shocks. I could unbolt one and figure it out. I just locked the trailer up for the weekend but will have it back out next in two weeks. How bad and how fast do you need to know?

MagicMtnDan: The trailer weighs 670lbs as it sits. A big portion of that is in the wheels being that they are 36" tires with magnesium I-beam runflats inside and a PVC ring inside that squeezes the tire beads against the outer beadlock rings to make it a double beadlock. If you need it lighter...

I am selling my ex-Marines M116A3 Flatbed trailer, registered and plated in California. This is the model with the largest/strongest frame and the full-size flatbed (the other models have the corners cut off). This model is the only one with drop axles (Like a Unimog has), and comes with 36"...

I have a 2011 Power Wagon and I can say for sure that, if you haven't driven one, you have no clue how good they really are. They are a completely different truck than a 2500 or 3500 in terms of capability. In terms of towing/hauling, the only difference between it and a regular 2500 is the rear...

Hey! Very cool plan, I'm excited for you! I think the answer depends on where you want to go. The answer is completely different between "staying in the US/Canada" and "Mexico, South America". The reason being that the two will be quite different in what parts you can get with reasonable ease...

I sold my Cummins to buy my Power Wagon, and I'm still excited. There, now that my heresy is out of the way :) I have owned two Cummins, a 2001 and a 1992, and I loved both. I have never driven the new 6.7's, but I understand them to be amazing. I was very very specific about my needs in buying...

Your suspension is going to depend entirely on how you drive, how good of a ride you want, your budget, if you are willing-able-equipped to do work yourself, and availability of parts. I have ridden in some wild rigs suspended by serious King suspension, and I have to say that you have no idea...
