You just need to post here a few times a week and make a gallery. If you look at the top of the page with all the links there is a thing that says photo gallery, click that and go make one, it's real easy and you will win some stuff if you win. You must have someone nominate you, someone must second the nomination then you have to accept and the first 3 get thrown into a poll every month to see who wins.

 

sweet ! will do

 

First off, I'm not "hating." I asked a simple question. Yes, your truck looks nice. But with a 1500 all you are building is looks. My 2500 series Power Wagon, with it's heavy duty axles, 4.56 gears, and lockers has the brawn to back up the looks.

As far as what I know? Well, I've been building all kinds of cars and trucks for about twenty years. I've built everything from street cars, to 9 second drag cars, to rock crawlers. My outlook is, if you're going to lift it and put big tires on it, you better be damn well capable of flogging it off-road without breaking it. I happen to *know* that the solid front axle in my PW is a hell of a lot stronger that the independent front suspension on the 1500 series. Same thing with the rear axle.

Anyway, lifted trucks with IFS, and big tires make great 'mall crawlers.' Since this post is all about posing, I'll let you get back to it, big guy. Have fun surrounded by your 'fans'.

 

Wow... a post patting a guy on the back for a nice job on building the truck that he wanted has become so angry. So what if it becomes a mall crawler as you say, if that is what he wanted to build then good for him. What do you say to all the millions of truck and suv owners that have 4 wheel drive but never leave a surface street, maybe only traverse a dirt driveway every once in a while? I'm not attacking you Bishop, justbringing upthe other side of the matter. Most people will never build a trail rig, nor be even anywhere close to a place to properly use it. I am planning on lifting and throwing some big tires on my 2500, but I don't plan taking a $35000 vehicle (that is also my daily driver) and beating the **** out of it. That is why I am building my project jeep up for that. Christ, the truck is so long it would be a nightmare navigating it through the trails that arearound me. And, for the record, things break in even the most well built rigs when taking them off road.

 

I can see Bishops point in the 2500 is a stronger made truck from frame to axles to all around durability. I still think exluva's truck is very nice looking truck. To each is own. I take my truck wheeling, no trails but desert, through water (3-4 feet) and I pull people out every chance I get. I like going over obsticles and I spent about 35,000 on mine as well. When I buy a truck 4x4 is not a option, it is a necessity because I will indeed use it. PW is a great truck one of the most if not the most capable full size off road rigs from the factory, I respect them a lot. I wish I had lockers.

 

Jealousy makes a bitch talk . Quit hating

 

im gonna start calling you The Bitchop

 

i doubt that he is jelous if he drives a powerwagon and has built allt hose other vehicals haha, im right with it, everything u did to that is pointless i put 33's on my 1500 and the tranny royally hates me for it, and so does the gas tank... now if that was a CTD id be all over that truck like a fat kid on a cupcake cause it would be SWEEET but as it is, i think its pointless, just a looks truck

 

nathanp , you forget, the power wagon does not even have the cummins. I think power wagons would be better if they offered it in either rcsb with the hemi (much better for wheeling) or with a cummins. If the PW came with the cummins it would be the ultimate truck.

I do agree that ezluvas truck would not be too great for anything more than driving through some fields off road but it still looks nice and will probably perform pretty well for what he needs it to do. If I were him I would do a 1 ton straight axle swap.

 

oh i know the power wagon isnt a CTD, BUT it is built on a 2500 chassis with lockers, and solid axles and is built ALOT heavier then a 1500, thats what i was getting at, put all his stuff on that and it would be 100 tiems better of a truck
