JK is gone, Chris. It was sad.

But the PW is awesome. I think I'll forgive myself...

The Power Wagon is hella awesome. I got a chance to check out the trailer and the truck today at 4WP, and they both have some major drool factor. The trailer is pretty darn spiffy if it werent for those few things mentioned by Bill. The wood work is awesome. Just needs a few tweaks. The truck.... The truck is a beast.

They need names.

Mirtes suggested "Thor" for the truck, like the Norse god. Which would make the trailer "Mjöllnir", Thor's hammer.

Did all that great lighting get traded in with the JK, or did you strip it out and return to stock?

Perfect name choices.

It's just me, but being chrome-adverse, what about bedlinering the grill and bumper black?

Thanks to Martyn's coaching, the awning is finally on. Came out great.
I didn't mount the leg-holders to the body yet though.

All gone with the trade.
I still have the HIDs on a shelf though; I'll figure out a place to mount them eventually.

I've got my eye on some aluminum bumpers eventually. Have to let the bank account recover for a while first.
A fellow forum member has a 3500 diesel and is going to experiment with painting the grill; I might do the same if it comes out okay.

Chrome itself doesn't offend me.
Adding chrome does... :ylsmoke:

I'm a really good coach, I also look good holding a clipboard :sombrero:

Nice truck Bill. Does the grille still go up with the hood on that one? If so, I might have engineered the steel grille support bracket on that thing.

 

[Hilldweller]

No, just the hood goes up.
I think the grills guillotined too many people and they simplified things.

Wish it was easier to access the headlights now. You have to go in through the wheel well and remove the entire assembly.

 

[Paladin]

They probably did it because the engineering behind the grill swinging up was an absolute NIGHTMARE. Not that it was complicated.... just trying to get the shut-lines to be right.

For the truck....what about Clifford, the big red Do(d)g(e)?......:sombrero:

I like this & your trailer can be the dog house.

 

[Hilldweller]

I didn't know the Clifford reference and had to google it...

I think I'll stick with the Norse mythology. I found a nice sticker for the back of the trailer:

It takes a Viking to
raze a village.

hi hilldweller,

I have been following your post for a while. But I think I missed what Chris (Little guy) is doing about all your issues? At one point you mentioned that he should just rebuild it all together?

By the way, the Thor and Mjollnir look sick! :drool:

:coffeedrink:

hi hilldweller,

He's ignoring them and not replying to my email.

Makes you appreciate the business ethic of a guy like Martyn and the corporate culture of Adventure Trailers that much more.
I was swayed by pricepoint ---- thought I did the homework.
I think that 99% of the problem was their not knowing the offroad market and the concomitant problems that arise from not planning things out in detail. Chris probably feels that they did a good enough job for the price and is feeling hurt by my comments.
I'm addressing the flaws as necessary but Chris still owes me a tent, whereabouts unknown...

Thanks.
Aside from being hard to park the dang thing, I really like this truck.

I thought you said something about a tent for the back of that thing... Was wondering where it was.
