Great Video guys! The deeper dives into the products is a welcomed addition.

[@brokenwrench404]

I’ve been pretty happy with the ridge grapplers in the snow and ice. Nice n quiet too

[@CJCOffRoad]

Those have much better siping, smaller lugs and a better overall tread design for snow. We've been plenty happy with our RG equipped trucks in the snow!

Great video. 👍 would love to see more of these.

Beautiful shot there at Toquerville Falls. St. George and Hurricane, UT was one of my favorite places to go wheeling when I was younger. Haven't been there in over 20 years and now that I got my Power Wagon I plan to hit that spot and send it once I beef it up a little.

[@JasonWaterfalls13]

Love this kind of videos and seeing these trucks in action! Great work guys, thank you!

[@CJCOffRoad]

More to come!

[@sherpaec]

Sweet build and love this video style. Quick note, pulling that second gen out, if they had turned the opposite direction it will help pull the front off the truck up out of the ditch and let the strap just pull the rear axle up and out. You would fit the ditch and the drift less on the way out.

[@LWRoad]

[@aaroncarter1853]

Thanks for the continued Power Wagon content guys, I really appreciate it. I've got a 2019 with big plans for a refit with a number of product you guys offer this summer. Its really great to see the truck out there doing what it was built for and seeing how the upgrades actually help in real conditions both on-road and off. Looking forward to more content in the future, especially in this format of just using the trucks.

[@CJCOffRoad]

This truck just got an axle truss so it's going to get a whole lot more off road use!

I think the CJC Powerwagon is the reason there is a shortage of Powerwagons right now. That rig is so sweet and the GFC camper makes look even better.

Absolutely fantastic!!! Great job fellas! The great production videos are cool for feature builds but, the people just want more content! Even if they are short. My favorite part is just seeing you guys using the equipment you sell and giving honest reviews. It’s obvious RTs can go through the snow but, your honest opinion that their are better options out there is extremely valuable. Thank you!

We'll be documenting the build out on this one!

[@mattdagger1480]

That’s weird my kenda klever RTs did absolutely amazing when I took them out the last blizzard we had!

[@grisa12345]

Thanks for sharing the video. I’d rather sleep in my bed with my ARE Overland camper shell and keep my gear on the roof, than vice versa with gear in the bed and sleeping on the roof. So far I haven’t had my topper move or give me any trouble after a lot of trails. Tents are the worst. Wind, flapping sound, exposure, harder to get in and out. Sleeping in the bed makes more sense but I guess that’s just me.

[@CJCOffRoad]

There's absolutely an advantage to a shell. Really it just comes down to personal preference!

[@mustdodiving5263]

Liked this style vid…

[@grissom.]

super cool to see you making videos with “Just Diesels” will we be getting a video of his 3rd gen?

[@CJCOffRoad]

We'll probably leave the coverage to him since he's going to document the whole build on his channel, but might do a final wrap up video here once it's complete! We'll be doing his suspension soon though!

[@TheUnorthodoxx]

Finally THE VIDEO; been teasing us for a while now! So what made you go with the version without the side tent doors? Also do you have the blinking Axle Lock light often? Yes, I like this style of video, keep ' em coming!

[@CJCOffRoad]

We went back and forth on the side doors, but ultimately decided we didn't want to have a ladder to keep things cleaner, so we went with the internal entry design. Our bed will be mostly open so that makes things easy! As for the blinking light, our rear locker started to malfunction after the snow incident, but we'd likely place the blame on having custom 4.56 gears on this truck since there isn't an off the shelf option yet. To save people the hassle, it isn't worth re-gearing for 37s from the factory 4.10s on these after driving it both ways!

[@TheUnorthodoxx]

@@CJCOffRoad Ah man thanks for that info. I always thought about having all the doors open for summer sleeping but the keeping clean didn't cross my mind. Yeah, with that 8 speed, 4.10s and 6.4 it should be fine right, lol.

[@lylejohnson2360]

I'd like to see you replace the tubular bar skid underneath....maple off road seems to have the only one.

[@phxedcwo]

Good video as always. We are always adding more to our trucks like larger tires, racks, bumpers, tools and other gear. Then, throw in towing a trailer around and we'll definitely need more stopping power. I have a 2018 Power Wagon that comes in north of 8000 lbs. What are your thoughts on brake upgrades? Pads/rotors, maybe new calipers with more pistons for better clamping power. Keep the videos coming.

[@CJCOffRoad]

On our experience, good pads, rotors and fresh fluid is enough! We usually use EBC products on our personal trucks!

Awesome! Does Go Fast Camper make a version that is compatible with Rambox?

[@4wdiesels]

Boy you guys kind of disappeared for awhile, glad to see you're back doing good things! I'm also glad to see you guys still have the Power Wagon. I thought for sure you had sold it and banked out because of the outrageous prices of used pickups. Power Wagons guzzle the gas but they sure are cool. Let's go Brandon 🇺🇲

[@CJCOffRoad]

We actually just trussed the front axle on this rig so expect more videos of this truck getting down!

[@SamanthaHAgastin]

Awesome 😎👍 content. ⁉️ is it possible to swap a TRX steering wheel on this rig? I think the current PW one could have more character.

[@rbljackson]

I just found your channel. Been looking at those go fast camper shells and was curious how it would look on a Ram Power wagon or Mega. Hows that thing holding up long term? Im thinking a decked system in the bed plus that camper on top would be a great set up. Can I mount a kayak onto the roof rack rails? How much weight can they support? Last question.....is the bed space water tight with the camper shell on there? thanks

[@CJCOffRoad]

It's been working well for what it is! The bed area is not quite water tight or dust proof like some other options but we love how light weight and versatile it is. It's also plenty strong enough to have Kayaks on the roof!

[@williamfrancis402]

Lol, i would have thought they would have cleaned the snow out of the bed before installing the camper but ..

[@stevenpeterson7234]

Awesome Video!!! Love the PW!! Wish I could afford one. What was your MPG for the trip?

[@CJCOffRoad]

We sat around 8-11 MPG depending on terrain, which actually isn't far off from our normal mileage in this truck!

@15 mins in.... Amazing point to bring up about GoFastCampers essentially promoting an 'open-source' platform to build off of.

Did you look into any other campers such as Super-Pacific X1 or Vagabond Drifter? What made you choose the Go Fast? BTW Vlog style is good, nice to go along on the adventure!

[@CJCOffRoad]

Ultimately it came down to our relationship with GFC. We've worked with them in the past, and enjoy their brand ethos, commitment to production in the USA and their product. All three options you mentioned are fantastic choices though!

[@tawaitai]

@@CJCOffRoad I'm guessing they're the lightest of the three?

[@CJCOffRoad]

We actually haven’t compared! They’re all pretty similar from our research!

[@johnhanson1337]

Did you see a big drop in the mpg with the GFC? What we’re you averaging?

[@CJCOffRoad]

Actually no. MPG was maybe 1MPG worse at most, granted the bar is low already with a PW.

It was around a grand or so? It all depends on when you’re shipping though as prices change. It was a fun trip!

[@sandiegobashbrothers]

What company was it??

[@MikeUtah]

How significant is the increase in wind noise?

[@CJCOffRoad]

Is there, but really only noticeable over 70.

[@lifescansdarkly]

I was looking into this setup but I don't like how there's a big gap between the roof and the tent (looks to be at least 6"), seems like that would act as a big air scoop at highway speed. Every MPG you lose is the equivalent of 30 miles less range, and when I'm on long road trips out West I can easily find myself with hundreds of miles between fuel stations so that's a real concern. Would be interested to see the numbers on fuel economy once the trip is over!

[@CJCOffRoad]

So believe it or not fuel economy was very similar (still awful) with the camper on and off. The variance got larger as speed increased, but we averaged 16-8 depending mostly on the mountains we were climbing and that’s about where this truck normally sits. Range was in the mid 300s which is poor but about on par with what we get normally in this truck. The diesels have a little less than double the range.

[@lifescansdarkly]

@@CJCOffRoad Interesting, thanks for the reply! Glad to hear it wasn't a big hit, the GFC is a really robust tent and I do like how it's a complete bed solution.

[@mikerobinson8734]

Good looking rig! I was so close to buying one of these but the fuel economy was what turned me away. The PW already has terrible fuel Economy, I can’t imagine how bad it is with the lift 37’s and that camper. What are you getting? 8mpg? I opted for a Diesel Rubicon and I get incredible range and 27mpg average.

[@CJCOffRoad]

Yeah this thing is around 8-11 which is why we prefer the diesel Rams. Same platform and double the fuel economy with more power! You did it right with a diesel Rubicon!

@@CJCOffRoad I’ll admit though the PW comes with some features that are unmatched in all the other Ram trucks. Wish they would put a 5 link in the front/rear of the 2500HD with the same PW package.
