Little did Ram Truck engineers know back in 2005 that when they reincarnated the iconic Power Wagon, they were building the ideal pickup for overlanding in the minds of Coloradoans Harrison and Janice Phizacklea. The couple considers their '16 Ram 2500based Power Wagon perfectly suited to their family's passion for long weekends and weeklong trips exploring the backcountry of their beloved western states.
From the 410-horsepower 6.4L Hemi under the hood to a factory suspension and traction abilities that far surpass any %4-ton 4x4 pickup on the market, the stock Power Wagon is a beast. Harrison improved its prowess with the addition of a mild 3-inch AEV lift in the front and AEV 2-inch lift in the rear, along with Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 helper air springs and Daystar cradles. He also added Bilstein B8 5100 shocks and an AEV drag link flip kit. The mild lift made way for 37x12.50R17LT Toyo Open Country R/Ts wrapped around 17x9 Raceline 929M Avenger wheels.

JEEP OR BLAZER BUILDING
I was hoping to pick your brain as to a couple of different builds. I have a '19 Jeep Wrangler JL and a '74 Chevy Blazer. I'm a little baffled as to what to focus on. The '74 full convertible Blazer is my dream vehicle. She's been a long build and now I am thinking of focusing my energy on my wife's '19 Jeep JL. I recently joined a Jeep club and have been going off-road with a few guys. I'm shopping around for lift kits. Would you suggest that my time be spent and focused on the Blazer or enjoy the Jeep? I really can't do both.
