Yea you are Ek.

I sorta like it but the tires are way overkill. I'd like it better with something a bit smaller. It just looks like they crammed the biggest tires they could in there with out any thought.

why dont you try takin your truck though there and see how far you get... then you will realize the reason for the setup.



sorry some people dont build concrete pounding, mall crawling, bling rides that you think look so cool.

PURPOSE BUILD= made for a purpose

I dont car what its purpose is. I never said it didnt do its job. Its still ugly. Ever heard the phrase "its not pretty but its gets the job done"?

Its just a difference in opinion, dont get so offended.

they make the power wagon with the same style fenders? Ive seen a power wagon but looks like all the other dodges but with bigger tires and sway bar disconnects for extra flex. They are pretty good offroad but they need to drop a diesel in it tho.

nah they dont have fenders like that.

my dad has an 05. The thing is sick. 4.56 gears selectable lockers, and electric disconnect sway bars. pretty decent truck. His is now on 37" BFG KM2's. Only thing that kept me from buying was they dont offer it in Rcab short bed. Thats what i need for the trails i ride.

and they had plans to add a diesel to the package in years to come. they are also supposed to be running 40" tires. but i believe the economy took its toll on the project. they had one made for a concept its was fairly sick. I believe a bigger HEMI would be better off for offroad purpuses than the diesel.

I do not like it, but I can appreciate the work that went into it and the functionality it provides.

haha you said it was a waist of time and money... thats disrespectful for someones work, sweat, and probably blood. If you dont like then say so in a respectful manner.

obviously its not for what they do with it. Maybe it is for you, but remeber your not in the appearance forum you are in the Offroad forum.

and Josiah didnt sin, he can say pretty much anything he wants, he has respect around here...

you have nothing noob.

so before you start backing out of your statements maybe you should go edit what you originally said... or keep looking like a

I dont need respect from anyone to have an opinion. Not trying to back out of any statements either. Truck is still ugly. Sorry if my comments have offended but this is a public forum and their will always be criticism.
