MYoung84's 2012 Power Wagon Build Thread

[myoung84]

Well, against the advice of some 3rd gen PW guys, I ordered some 2" lift spacers for up front and 1.5" blocks out back. I went with Top Gun Customz for both because I really like their rear block design.



I also have a new hitch coming in tomorrow. I've never really like the billet style hitches and they are too damn expensive so I started searching for alternatives. I also wanted black and not the cheap looking ones with removable pics. This one from Trimax looks to be nice. My 6" drop was just about perfect on stock tires, but I've gained 1" of lift from tires and adding another 1.5" with blocks. So, this 8" adjustable hitch should be good.

I went in for a price for my current wheel and tire package.. they wanted $3,400 for the whole set up..... Bitch please..

As a shop owner I know that's not a bad deal on their end. Tires and wheels are so competitive that theres literally no room for mark up. I know you can get them a lot cheaper off the internet, local shops can barely compete with all the other internet prices, but not tires/wheels. I only mark my wheels/tires up $20 no matter how much they are b/c they are so expensive. Normal retail markup is 30%. On a lot of brands I pay more wholesale than you can buy them off the internet for.

Not trying to gripe or anything, just giving you their point of view.

They wanted $129 for a full set of lugnuts for the wheels....... they also charge people 400 bucks for a 2" daystar level kit... and 400 to install it. I know the owner of the shop he is a dick. He knows no one around here offers what he does and he takes huge advantage of that.

I understand how businesses operate and usually what to expect the prices I get from owners like this..... but this guy takes what the regular price for anything and marks it up. To a stupid amount of money...

This guy is loaded... we hit a bunch of gas wells on hIs parents property

He tried telling me for the same bushwacker flares I have now, with his discount "because I'm a fellow oil & gasser" his words. That he would give them to me for 640 and 1000 painted to match the truck.....

He's a snake and is only out to line his pockets.. which is why I said something about it in the first place.. was not trying to bash shop owners..

Time to head to Oklahoma.

Why are selling generators and not designing trucks for dodge?

[myoung84]

I would love that job! But, I'm glad they don't roll off the lot looking like this, it leaves nothing to customize...
