Looks good. I love that body, wish they still made it. I actually wish they would make a single cab version of it.

I knew Bolink once made that body, but didn't think they were still around. I wish Pro-Line would make one though.

Great looking rig! Do you have any pics/info on your upper link mounts on the axle? I am currently looking for something like that for my TLT axles. Thanks, Chris.

Default Action pics from today

Took the Wagon out today, and wanted to share some pics. Got some junfacs mounted up. They performed quite well. Just spun one wheel nut off. They seem to be a little thicker, and the nut doesn't go down to the nylon lock. other than that, it worked great. Enjoy, and thanks for looking.

like the look of those jun fac beadlocks on your PW. Seems like they are worth the money, yes? Awesome pics. Truck still looks good too...

500swmag: yes i think the junfac's are worth it, atleast with these tires. I haven't tried any others on them yet.

cammok5: yeah, it looks like mud, but it is just fine sand/dirt. i haven't water proofed it yet. Some day I will, as i would like to see how it does in the mud, plus it just looks like fun.

thanks guys

Default power wagon update

Just wanted to share some new upgrades to the power wagon.

Added some led's.
Put new shocks on. They lowered it a little, and lost a little flex, but still quite capable.
Narrowed the Junfac's. Took about 3/8 out of the middle. Now they will work better with moabs if i choose to use them. But for now the cut swamp dawgs are performing well, especially with the memory foam in them.

Hopefully I can get out and get some more action pics.
Let me know what you guys think. Thanks for looking.

Nice job in the Junfacs! I've been thinking of narrowing mine as well. Only tire I have had trouble with was the Mashers (surprise....) pulling out of the inner ring. It's not as wide a clamping surface as the outside. I ended up using a reducer washer from home depot that was about a 16th wider around the outside and the same on the inside as the stock ring and just drilled them out to match the rings. I ran a piece of split fuel tubing around the bead groove on the rim and then bolted the reducing ring behind the stock ring. That worked great for the mashers! Not trouble so far.

The PW looks great! I'm going to do one with a leaf setup one of these days. Love the colors!

Im diggin it. Someday when I stop being lazy I would post my P'Wagon. It had a TCS X-trail proto. Also has r2 with aholmes revolver, tower pro 945, wk axles, ax10 lower links, Big Bore shocks and Futaba 2.4 radio. Has not been out on the trail, but pulls my boy and his cousin in a wagon nicely!
