- Well I did it, I squeezed some 37's under my new 2020 Ram Power Wagon and in this video I'll share with you how well they fit, some things I'm going to have to watch out for and I'll also bring you up to date on some other modifications I've been doing... comms, rock sliders, a truck camper and more. #rampowerwagon #overlandrig #truckbuild

Once you relocate your spare you can fill that empty space with a fuel transfer tank. It's about 14 gallons of extra fuel that can be transfered to the main tank with the flip of a switch.
Would love a link to the tank if anyone has it!
I know there is an Australian brand one and I think it's much larger than 14 gallons.
Yup..link to that equipment would be great
Link for the tank please.
Can’t get enough of the power wagon, love this channel and so excited you got this truck! Can’t wait to see what you do in the future... Glad you made it home safe from Missouri, those storms were no joke
Thank you! It was an interesting and very cold drive home, but made it safe and sound.
Sometimes just because you can doesn't mean you should. Slapping on 37's onto that nice truck is one of those things that should be done.
I don’t know how the ad system works on TH-cam, I assume the content creator can set the number. I really appreciate not having four or five ad breaks in a 17 minute video. It’s one of those little things that you don’t really notice but that makes a big difference. I don’t mind ads, it comes with being a cheap skate and not paying for a subscription, but some channels pack a 20 minute video full of them. Thanks for being mindful of that.
Why don't you use an AdBlock if you are watching this on a PC?
Just get TH-cam premium...
Ad content and how many advertisements you see, is a TH-cam algorithm and the creator have no say so in amount of advertisements or how many!!!
Looking good. I don’t even own a power wagon or a jeep and I still watch your videos beginning to end.
I really enjoy the diversity of vehicles and equipment you use. Tons of info and actual hands on reviews have been helpful. The Power Wagon is awesome. I recommend your channel to all my overlanding associates.
Where it says power wagon on the side of the bed you you put trailrecon in the same format n the cab cover to blend it in.
YES!!!!
Agree, I think this is an esthetic must do!
For those that are considering ordering a PW. The Power Wagon Decal on the bedside is a "deletable" option when ordering a truck. No charge.
@@denniswalsh6301 no charge to not put the sticker on that you're paying for already lol!
@@JustinKingOffroad Crazy, right! When or if Brad has his truck wrapped I guess that will have to come off.
Love your videos! Look forward to them every week!
Thank you!
Love the vids glad I’m one of the firsts to see it also all of your builds that you build I want to own in the future
I love my PW. I have a 2020 also and the same color. I like to watch your videos and all the mods you have done to the PW. Looking forward for more PW videos.
Looking great Brad! Thanks again for posting amazing content
Lots of really modifications and the steps I believe are going to be the best upgrade when it comes to trips and taking your wife. Good job
@trailrecon looking awesome! I hope to see more full size overland info, rigs, etc. Us full size rigs have been left out far too long. Love your simple/affordable solutions too, thanks for speaking to the average off-roader/camper/overlander!
watching your videos just convinced me to go with a power wagon -- my dad had a disco era truck, so there's a nostalgia element -- but your rig is looking so good it finalized the decision. looking forward to what comes next!
Awesome video, Brad! Just bought my 2020 PW last month. Also own a 2017 JKU Rubicon on 35s and a 1999 (100 series) Land Cruiser! I have taken lots of inspiration from your builds!
Do you prefer the jeep or the power wagon?
Loving the truck so far, and those nut-certs are awesome! Thanks for the info!
Good choice with the power step.. Looking forward to your next adventure...
love how the truck is coming along! love the black and white color combo, you should swap the chrome lug nuts out for some black ones, makes a huge difference in the look! I did it on my Ram and I couldn't believe how much that little detail changed it!
I'm a big fan of heavy duty rubber bed mats, even with a Line-X or factory spray-in liner, I use those mats because they prevent things from flying around the bed. I don't have to worry about strapping everything down with those mats, they are so good at keeping things from sliding around. They also protect whatever you put in the bed from being scratched up by the sand paper like finish of bed liner. They also look good and finish things off, easy to clean, and less than $100.
I've got the same ARE top with some different options, and I love it. Can't wait to see what you end up doing with it Brad!
Great overview and mods. Throw a cot in the back, my sleeping bag is ready. Call Marco and I bring an appetite....
Marco is loading his kitchen as we speak!
Ah, reminds me of back in the day when I started with my bone stock ‘16 PW. The evolution over the years to what it is today with a Four Wheel Camper in the bed, Thuren suspension and front bumper, WK sliders, custom dual rear swing out bumper, on-board air, comms, navigation, lighting, full locker and sway bar control. All along, it’s been a great truck with 82k on the clock and has done its fare share of exploring some of Arizona and Utah’s more challenging trails.
Love the Four Wheel Campers and can't wait to really start putting the miles down on this truck like you!
37s BFG KO2 ATs look fantastic
Another great video Brad. That's a nice vehicle and it's my favorite of the TrailRecon fleet. As far as the spare tire option goes, I would install an upright tire mount in the bed. Yes, it will take up some space, but at least you have the piece of mind of a full size spare.
I just ordered a Power Wagon and I appreciate the suggested changes.
The Power Wagon is looking great!!
Thanks man!
Great! I’m excited about this build
Just Awesome Brad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hmmmmm really got us thinking about one of these Power Wagons my man. 👊👍🇺🇸
I’ve been running the AMP Research running boards for 4 years. Snow, off road, rain etc. never a problem.
Me too, love them. I've had a few occasions where they were slow to deploy and I just about ate pavement. Anyone else?
Awesome videos man keep up the grate work!! And thanks for that you just made up my mined my 2020 PW is getting 37s lol
Another great video Brad! The PW is looking fantastic!
I had a cap on my 2500 ram crew cab with 8’ bed. It was like a small apartment in New York City. Love the Ram but the Jeeps are why I’m here.
Thanks Brad ☹️ "I didn't want to have 3 different hard mounted radios in here" This the week after I finished hard mounting 3 radios in our truck; I got "the look" from the wife😉 All 3 radios are mounted on the underside of a shelf in the rear seat area that I converted to storage. The HAM has a separate control head and both the GMRS and CB have speaker mics with all the controls on them; not too cluttered.
I like that you set the Power Wagon up to fit your situation.
The most important off-road question of all time... 'will 37s fit?'
I’m really finding that ex military personnel make the best content. Usually no bs and straightforward whether it’s off-roading, bushcraft or over landing ..whatever.
Keep up the great work
Truck is looking awesome. Rugged,ready and tough. So many options for air. I have a heavy duty portable. Works great with my 37" mudders. Hooks up to the Trucks battery with jumpers. One can love jeeps and power wagons. lol The original 4x4 trucks since 1934 Dodge. 1941 Jeep.
The Rigd spare tire swing-out is a good option for your spare. It's a hitch mount and doesn't wobble. They go for around $1,200 and are made in the US. I may get one for my Ram.
Such a great video. Thanks!
You should really look in to a bed slide. I’ve had 3 and they are super convenient and useful when using with a topper.
The best brand I’ve had is the “bed rat” by weather guard. Really heavy duty and customizable. You could mount your spare on the slide up front and when needed just pull out the slide and there you go.👍🏼🇺🇸
I have the AMP step on my 2016 lifted SD and it has been fantastic. Spray a little Fluid Film on the hinges every once in a while and you’ll be golden.
My DREAM truck right there!!! Great job and I enjoyed the video so much, I subscribed! :)
Build looks great. Keep to content coming
love the offroad videos
Great video. Thanks. Looking at placing a PW order in a few months. Following this closely.
Hey Brad, the Power Wagon is looking good. In regards to using a full-size spare tire, Expedition One makes a great rear bumper with dual swing out tire carrier set-up for HD Rams. I have had their similar bumper set-up on my JKU for a number of years and has worked out great with no issues. For a less expensive option, AEV makes a vertical bed mounted tire carrier set-up for HD Rams.
Nice rig. Like the topper on the bed. Really like the opening side windows. And those Amp Research power steps are a great add.
Thanks 👍
Good choice on the truck cap. I’ve had ARE caps on my crews trucks since the early ‘90’s
I like the different state t-shirts Brad 👌🏼 the power wagon is looking like a great adventure rig! I’m excited to see the stages of the build! ✌🏼
I’m a little jealous, I have a white 18 Power Wagon and I’m not able to deck it out as fast. So far I’ve installed a locker bypass, diamond back hd cover and 37” tires. The tires helped negotiate lol white knuckle sliders so my wife can get in easier. They will be ready in a few months. Keep up the good work so I know what I can do next to my truck lol
Thanks for the updates.
Hey brad glad you made it back safe was some crazy weather out east, power wagons looking sweet, as always be safe 👍👍👍👍
Thanks! That trip home was crazy!
Dynatrac ball joints, Thuren soft ride front coils, Fox 2.5 w/dsc, and stuff a 35x12.50x17 tire under the bed as a spare. I've run my 35 spare with the 37s twice and its not bad. 30 psi in the 37 and 65 psi in the 35 and they are similar in diameter. I like what you've done to it, looks sharp!
Would recommend a nice rear bumper with a strong swing out. It would solve your spare problem and give you a slightly better departure angle. Win-win.
I love this guys guys outlook and attitude! New sub here!
I am in awe at how tall it is. It does look fantastic though. Thanks for sharing.
This truck is amazing!
Really like the ARE bed cover/cap. I like the side opening windows as well but most likely you will need to stand on the rear tires to reach the floor of the bed from the sides. I am looking at various ARE cap models as well for my 21' Power Wagon. I've had two of their caps, (Z-Series) with their sliding front window and tip out side windows, installed on two different trucks. The ARE product line is outstanding.
Great truck and great channel Brad! Greetings from Sardinia, Italy.
Cab roof rack. Would be a great place for spare full size with shovel, jack and air compressor w/tank (lots of fresh air up there). A rack with tall/large sides would also provide mounts for lights. I have the Rambox's on my PW, so a hardtop for the bed is out and this is the setup I'm saving for down the road.
That topper looks good Brad!
Yes you can :) been on my 37s for 9 months now.
i have rock sliders and it does change the driving dynamic of the truck. that extra weight 12 inches off the ground is notable. you will be fine with extremely careful tire placement, but if you hit those powered steps you'll instantly crush them. loving the wagon vids!! bring that to NOCO for the Overland West and we'll hit kelly flats trail (if it's open this year). that will test your truck going up hill. I have a video about it... super fun.
Wow rigs looking good love the new tires and box canopy
Thanks 👍
We have been using a camper shell like that on our work trucks for years. The side doors are great and you can get them with a slider window for ventilation. As a bonus they make it look like an old guy’s truck so the tool thieves stay away!
I prefer co2 tanks also. If go larger though, especially with 37s. Perhaps a 15 or 20lb tank. Mounted vertically so you don't have to unmount it for use (c02 is a liquid of course, so in use it must be upright).
These are great ideas for a power wagon. My first vehicle was a 1980 power wagon i bought used for $1500 in 1987 with 318, winch and warn hubs and two tone orange and white paint. It was awesome! Put aCB with PA outside speaker in grill and you can imagine what fun that was for me at 18 yrs of age, wheeling in the forest mountains of Snohomish Washington and crossing with a best friend for girls on weekends after highschool in the 80s.
I'm getting serious desire to get one of these like what you have. Gotta relive my youth! 😆
Brad as a fellow PW owner, I can’t recommend enough the rear track bar relocation kit that Thuren sells. It raises the attachment side to the axle for the panhard, thereby reducing the lateral movement of the axle through the up and down arc during compression/rebound. Takes the waggy out of the wagon. (You’ll probably notice what feels like bump steer in the wheel during higher speed highway dips, where the truck compresses and then rises back up).
Thanks, I'll look into that.
Power Wagon is looking great....well done
Thank you!
So I just started doing sales at a dodge dealer. I’m gonna be honest before that I didn’t even know this was a thing. Always wanted a rebel, but after seeing one in the show room. I am hooked on them and been watching videos non stop. May have to trade in the gt for one in the future. Sick build
Cool Video mate and very nice truck!
You can run a 35" spare in the normal spare location with the tire aired down somewhat and you may have to modify the heat shield to get it to fit. Given that you carry air and a tire patch kit that should cover you in just about any situation. Just don't over do it if you have to run the 35".
Enjoyed the video.
I fit a 35 mickey Thompson baja boss m/t aired down.
👋 BRAD !
TRUCK LOOKS REALLY NICE ! I HAVE THE LOWER A.R.E. CAP , IT'S MY SECOND ONE THE FIRST ONE WAS ABOUT FIFTEEN YEARS OLD I GOTTEN FROM TRUCK & STUFF WHICH HAS CLOSED FOR BUSINESS . BUT BEFORE THEY CLOSED THEY HELPED ME WITH A.R.E. ' S HELP TOO & GOTTEN ME THE SECOND CAP SAME ONE BUT IT CAME WITH THE RUG ON THE UNDERNEATH ! I CAN SAY THEY / A.R.E. CAPS / STAND BEHIND THEIR WORKMEN / WORKWOMEN SHIP ALL IT COST FOR THE SECOND CAP WAS THE LABOR TO SWITCH THEM OUT. THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THE INSIDE OF YOUR A.R.E. CAP . I'LL HAVE TO SEE IF THEY MAKE THE LOWER CAP THE SAME WAY ? BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU ALL ALWAYS ON YOUR JOURNEYS ! ENJOYED ! THANK YOU !
Great truck
Enjoying watching the progress on your truck. Your Ram is a larger version of what I have. I got a white Tacoma, 4 DR, long bed with black accents and a white shell. I'm running 34's and have the same spare dilemma. I mounted my spare in the bed, on the passenger side in the upright position, in the same orientation as the other 4 tires. It is pushed up against the front (close to cab) of the bed. I really like the framing on your shell, I might have to see if Snugtop has the same option, or I will just have to sell mine and get an ARE. Like you, I hate dust all over my gear. If you haven't realized it yet, dust will still get in. I ended up getting a tailgate sealing kit and I made some mods to the bed to seal it up. Just got back from a week long Death Valley trip and my gear was much cleaner. Keep up the great trail vids!
I'm considering buying one in Costa Rica and putting 37s on it. Great video brother!
She's looking beautiful!! Love the PW!!!!
Thank you, me too!
@7:39 oh gosh. Brad pretending like he's not sure if he's gonna go a certain route, though I think many of us know it's subtle foreshadowing hahaha. As always Brad, great content! Look forward to seeing your rooftop tent on that bed cap.
Hey Brad I have one super simple piece of advice if you haven’t done so already, I have a 2014 2500 Ram w/basically the identical ARE topper and that little black “dust lip” on the rear that keeps the elements out of the bed, go to your local home improvement store and get a pack of those rubber drawer bumpers w/the sticky tape on the back and put them in inside lip where it would touch the paint so it doesn’t rub from wind or trail bumps...otherwise love the video, keep it up and be safe!
Amazing how different the tops are from model to model. i got slots to slide roof onto mine and you have an inner structure, though it gives me idea's on how to reinforce my cx classic on my JT.
Great looking truck!
awesome upgrades! I noticed KO2 are far dirtier on the Jeep than the old mud tires were. But the riding comfort and handling speaks for itself!
You're a Man after my own heart! I have a 2022 Level 2 white and black Power Wagon with 37" Nitto Trail Grapplers and the Amp Research power steps. I also have the S Pod controller for my offroad LED lights and onboard compressor. Next purchase is a radio but I'm probably going to buy an GMRS instead of a Ham....or maybe I'll buy both, who knows?
I actually just traded my Gladiator Rubicon in for a Power wagon last week. ARE topper is already ordered 😁. Running boards are next! I personally will be doing a drawer setup in my bed. Definitely would be interested on the details of your Ham antenna setup. Keep up the good work.
On my PW, I mounted an ARB twin compressor on an aluminum plate and slid it under the rear driver’s side seat. The bolts that held the seat down also secured the plate. The wiring and tubing was run under the carpet and into the hidden compartment then ultimately to their final destination.
What's the final destination the battery?
@@sh0cktim3 the battery for the electrical obviously, and the air tubes to two air ports, one in the front, one in the rear.
I like that idea!
Pics??
I have the same ARE topper on my Chevy ZR2 Bison. My iKamper fits on it great and the ladder has room to spare. 😀
Good video very informative
I would check out Carli Suspension. They have high quality suspension systems and components. CJC Offroad is a great retailer. They also have a spare tire solution that mounts to the back and fits a 37" tire.
I guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my password. I would love any assistance you can give me
@Dalton Will instablaster :)
I jelly Doc !!! What a sweet rig that Power Wagon is only thing I would do is a small cosmetic upgrade that is where the Power Wagon Decal ends at the top of the bed I would carry the stripe all the way across the topper.
great vid, earned a sub.
Like the comms setup
The topper totally looks sweet
I like this truck! My first set of wheels was a '77 Power Wagon.. wish I still had her!
Love those old classic trucks!
Love your channel. Can't afford to have a dedicated overland vehicle for now....may be someday. For those long overland adventures a cabin top mountable carrier for 37 spare and some other things may be an option. I really don't know what I am talking about since have no first hand experience just watching overlanding video.lol😁
I’m wanting a power wagon more and more
My ‘19 has been on 37s for the last 20k miles. No issues. Minor rubbing when turning in a parking lot.
Oh also a great option for the ball joints, is EMF rebuildable. They have some cool stuff.
I've been wanting the ram rebel 1500 for awhile now. Wish I had someone like you get into detail about this truck since you know what your talking about and how things work.
The Rebel is a great truck!
Rebel is great truck. Easier to drive and park and better gas mileage. Power wagon kills it for off road stuff. You can get a power wagon to sit 6 people too.
Rig’d Supply Ultraswing is a pretty good spare tire solution. That’s the route I plan to go when I graduate to 37s.
Idea: Mount molle panels on the rails of the topper that way you'll have a complete modular molle storage system all around.
Loving the PW content!!!
