Power Wagons of Colorado, SNOW BASHING TRIP!

Sunday February 12th 2023, 8 Power Wagons and a Diesel Rubicon set out to flog the ever loving "poo" out of the snow south of Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. This is a facebook group called "Power Wagons of Colorado." Basically, we all own power wagons, and we all live in Colorado!
I made a couple errors on this video which I'm deeply sorry about. #1, I took the shotgun mic w/wind sock off so the gimbal would work better, and in turn the slight breeze just killed the audio. #2, I accidentally changed my C1 preset to a much lower aperture than I normally run, and even with a ND filter my 100 ISO couldn't compensate for how bright it got.
Lessons learned. But a spectacular day anyway!

If your stuck in the mountains the sound you want to here is a group of ram trucks breaking trail done thought you treaded off your power wagon for bronco

[@JustinKingOffroad]

oh no, i have to have a truck. i tow too much lol! sadly i traded the jeep for the bronco.

[@jasonproulx268]

Good times! Love my 22 Wagon!

[@dwoodog]

That just looked like straight up fun. Thanks for sharing.

[@rickywells8545]

Thank you sir truly a humble hero

[@makukenobi5385]

That looked fun and especially power wagons

[@gregy3660]

Great video love the sound from those power wagons. Thanks for sharing

[@davidshay4773]

Good video 👍 I love my 2022 Power Wagon !!

Music to the ears ❤

[@porterhouse4421]

I just moved to Colorado and will hopefully have a PW by the end of the year so I’d love to tag along!!

[@phatkid20]

Finally - thank you - PW in snow and used like they are intended to be used. I just got my PW in Nov 22 - waiting to be able to put it to a test after some better bigger tires and some repairs before doing what you are doing here. Again thank you Justin for the entertainment.

[@JustinKingOffroad]

even stock you'll do just fine!! you just need to hit it 3-4 times lol!

[@phatkid20]

Recommendations? 1.winch rope 2.size and make of tires thinking at least 35's and bf ko2?

[@JustinKingOffroad]

@@phatkid20 get a winch rope rated to twice your winch capacity. Or at least 1.5 times. Tires, I have falken wildpeak at3w and they're great. Others have duratracs, and one has kanati trail hogs. All work well. All terrain tend to function better.

[@johnraygun9868]

looks like it was a blast, love it gentlemen!

[@medicchester]

That last power wagon with 40 inch tires and chains on should of led the pack.... Funny the only ones with vent flare still on the bottom and OEM tires, kept getting stuck in the middle and led the pack😮

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

My old setup would have gone through that like it was nothing. Granted, it was a diesel front loader that I put a big PTO-driven snowblower on in the winter...😄

[@JustinKingOffroad]

Hahahahhaa! EPIC!!!!

[@PaulKaiser42]

The video was awesome!! I’m so jealous…we have not had any snow on the east coast😢

[@derekheuring2984]

I don't know why. but every time I watch a Power Wagon video I hear the theme song to "Team America - World Police" in the back of my head. F^&% Yeah!

[@johnthornton7763]

Great footage! Looks like a lot of fun!

[@JustinKingOffroad]

It was amazing!

[@Chris-ut6eq]

You made it sound like this puny 35s were inadequate. I'm looking to upgrade to 35s on my F150 once i wear down my factory 32.6 " *cough* " AT tires. Looked fun and a great training/learning exercise.

[@JustinKingOffroad]

the 35s do great, but the 37s and extra lift to even better lol!

[@Chris-ut6eq]

@@JustinKingOffroad that's an endless treadmill.....35......37.....39........ would 37s fit on a power wagon? My F150 will max at the 34.8ish range without modification. I'll climb up to 285/75r18s in 1-2years. Now on 265/70r18s Will gain about 1inch clearance with upgrade. Then I'm off the upgrade treadmill for tires :)

[@JustinKingOffroad]

[@MTBryanH]

PW with chains! Might as well be a snow cat! 😊 I don't get to play like this where I live now. 😔

[@VideosOffRoad]

AWESOME video, looks like a ton of fun! My Sony DSLR camera mic has the same problem when shooting video. The mic is WAY too sensitive. The slightest breeze makes the audio just awful. Got a shotgun mic and fuzzy cover for it, but haven't had a decent opportunity to try them out. I'm expecting excellent results, though. I'm sure you'll get better with more experience.

[@drewzjeep6805]

Next time holler at me and I'll bring the TRX.

Wasn't my trip so not my place to invite others, but hell yes that would be awesome!!

I'm in the same boat as you. I don't want to go out there just myself. I've done that and it's just a pain recovering yourself. Better with a group of guys.

[@MatthewCarpenter-yx1xn]

Hi Justin, I am very curious to know what kind of bumper your friend is running with the swing outs? That is exactly what I am looking for. Too bad AEV does not offer their rear bumper in that configuration. Thanks! Matt

[@thomtleonard46.]

I love the Dodge pickups I like the dark blue I don't like the tires that you guys are using I had an 84 Bronco and I put 35 on it good year all parades and I never got stuck in the year 77 snowstorm in Is state of Is Maryland But you guys haven't a ball I wish I was there

[@JustinKingOffroad]

our snow here is absolute garbage most of the time. very sugar like with no moisture. almost impossible to get any traction in. once time, back in 2016, we got a super heavy wet spring snow and i was able to drive on top of 36 inches of it with my jeep. it was so much fun!

Awsome video! My power wagon wheel hops like crazy how did everybody mitigate tha??!?!?those v8 sounds great!!!

[@JustinKingOffroad]

wheel hop is mostly air pressure. lower those pressures!! i was running 30 up front and 20 in the rear. that's the magic zone on 35s where it goes away.

[@ecocav0222]

@JustinKingOffroad What tire pressure setting sets off the low air tire pressure warning deal on the Power Wagon? Wonder if the one Tazor plug in will reprogram that.

Justin. You once commented on chains in rear , what do you run on the front. And I’m guessing that’s on 37’s

[@JustinKingOffroad]

i am on 35s. i have chains for the front but i don't put them on unless it's a real emergency. rear is all i've ever needed.

You guys airing down your tires? I’m sure you are just asking

[@JustinKingOffroad]

Oh yeah for sure. Most of us were in the 20-30 pound range. That seems to be the safe pressure for how heavy these trucks are.
