power wagon build
 

I started a build a while ago with the frame I made. I originally planned on using a dodge ram body, but the power wagon fit way better. And of course, after I paint the body and everything, a bunch of power wagon builds pop up. :lol::roll:

I still have a lot left to do. Mostly little things like make bumpers, rock sliders, mount the electronics, etc. Let me know what you guys think.

what frame is that? I am guessing home made? looks good. The narrowed tires go awesome with the rest of the truck. Nice work for sure "thumbsup"

read the TEXT n00b , not just the pics, first sentence.:lol:

Nice build man, looks super scale, I love the PW body and the reduced 1.9's. Great work"thumbsup"

nice start.

sweeeeeeeeet"thumbsup"

The frame is homemade. I made the plans and my dad cut it out on the water jet at his work. Then I put it all together at home.
The tires are actually not reduced, just narrowed. I cut and glued the bead from 1.9 tires onto the 2.2's.

Im liking the outcome so far. Not bad for my second build and for being 15, If I do say so myself.

wow man that thing is sick, can u show a pic of the top of the chassis?

XxPr3miumRid3rxX that thing looks bad azz. I LMAO when I first saw your post... check out my build "mopar mayhem" same paint job. great job.

i know. I saw yours right after i finished painting mine.

Oh there's a truck in the first picture:lol:





Nice build!

I like it. I don't even much care for PW's and I like it. Is there some reason for not mounting the steering servo in between the frame rails? Sorry if that is a dumb question but I am new to this. The wheels fit very nice. I wonder what a PW would look like without the back windows and more bed?

i mounted the servo outside the frame rails so I could have a longer steering link. The longer link helps keep reduce bump steer. In fact, It doesnt have any bumpsteer through articulation, only when the axle is at full droop.

finally an update. I have a hard time actually working on this. :lol:

made a rear bumper, tire carrier, antena, mounted shovel and highlift jack.
