So Shawn has been jonesing to get his Lifted Ram Power Wagon a shot at the Snake Lake Jeep Trail for a while. A few weeks ago we finally got it done!
In this video we get down the Snake Lake Jeep Trail all the way to Snake Lake. The trail is really steep and really hard, but the Power Wagon and Brent's Lifted Jeep JKU make the trip mostly unscathed.
That's a gnarly trail! It looks seriously steep on camera, so I'm sure it was insane in person!
This makes me never want to buy a used power wagon
The Easy Part is getting Down..🤷🏻♂️ I wanna see it go up..😂
Man that was awesome! Excellent work on keeping the steep hill footage looking STEEP!
It. Was. THAT. Steep! Thanks for watching!
shit id take my 87 civic down there......aint comin back up but it get down there
Man that looks like an awesome trail! That power wagon got the heart thumping! 😁 Great video man!!
Great driver awareness an vehicle control. I enjoyed this video. Thank you
I never heard of a power wagon until last month. So I ended up in buying one used 2017 all I got to say wow finally a real mans truck. I pulled out a f350 out of snow hear in Alaska like it was nothing. Don’t think I’m ever going back to 1500s
I first heard of the Power Wagon in 2015 and wanted one since… I just Picked Up My 2022 Power Wagon in February, and I Love it!! Just like U I’m never buying a 1500 again..👍
You have done an A-1 job with this video. Excellent job done with the Power Wagon too.
Wish we had spots like this for our PW in Virginia. We are doing Moab in 2021. Awesome rig!
Just wanted to say thank you for putting these awesome videos together of the Plumas National Forest trails! Just got done with the BDT which I used a lot of your media for reference and went to Snake last weekend, can't believe you guys took a full size truck though!
this looks sweet, gonna take mine
Very nice! Looked like it was a lot of fun!
It was a good day! Sorry you couldn’t make it.
I got a short wheelbase I think I could do well at least I hope
Good spotting, looks like fun, thanks for the video
Thanks for watching friend!
@@AllTerrainFamily There is a power wagon running the trails here in Texas - he has some videos from Hidden Falls Adventure Park - pretty impressive
I keep listening for creaks, groans and stuff like that. Power wagon sounds solid to me. My 63 jeep and ramcharger didn't sound that solid. This looks like fun BUT is the driving style enhanced for terrain respect, ha i just remembered today is earth day, cool.
Well done on all accounts. I'm going to check it out next summer. I'm in a mid-size truck so it'll be slightly easier. We ride our bikes in Downieville and Graeagle all the time. It's such a beautiful area!
The articulation on that Power Wagon is unreal for a 2500.
Looks like a great time and fun trail! But dang, those PW brakes are squeaky!
It’s amazing how much noise a vehicle makes when you aren’t inside.
Most of the squeaking and creaking was from the front suspension, the OEM control arm bushings were shot. I’ve replaced all 4 control arms with Thuren’s. That cured all the squeaks, creaks and clunks I was getting, drove me nuts. The brake squeal ended up being a build up of brake dust, blasted them real good at the car wash and that seemed to do the trick.
No worries. My rear brakes sound like that too.
Did the power wagon make it does a bear shit in the woods.
Mopars in the mountains hell yeah.
Самые красивые места в мире самые лучшие машины! Thank you!
Cool vid. Spray them squeaky ass bushings witj silicone spray
I spy a VGK hoodie! Go Knights Go!
What size tires are you rolling with?
The PW is on 35s.
All the details are here: Shawn's 2012 Ram Power Wagon Build ruclips.net/video/VBI6RhNHzno/видео.html
Hi, great PW action. I have a '13 PW. Can you elaborate on mods? Lift other than OEM? What bumper, sliders and any other protection you are running?
Walk Around video coming soon...
Hey John, the Wagon has Thuren 2” front springs, track bar and sway bar links in front and Thuren shackles in back with Thuren Overland shocks all the way around. It also has a Kinzer bumper and Randy Ellis sliders.
@@shawnomeara22 Hey Shawn, thanks for the info. Starting to Thuren mine as well. Got the track bar in. Did a DOR steering brace...happy w/ both so far. Already running "35 MTs stock rims w/ some control arm rub. Planning on doing Thuren 3"(1.5") coils and shackles, maybe control arms later. Wasn't sure on the shocks. Would be interested in your feedback on the Overlands after you have them for a while.
John FitzGerald, I just installed the Thuren control arms yesterday. A huge improvement not only in tire clearance but handling as well. The bushings in the OEM control arms were shot and the arms themselves were not built for this kind of abuse, they are really weak. I also lifted it another 1” with pucks on top of the 2” thuren springs, wish I had gone with the 3” from the start.
John FitzGerald, the 12’s & 13’s are the best years for the PW to date IMHO. We get the 6spd transmission with the 4.56 gears. When Ram added the 6.4L in ‘14 which only added 20 HP and 22’lbs of torque they dropped the gears to 4.10, I’d rather have the lower gears. They also added a coil sprung rear suspension which probably rides better, but it reduced the payload.
Nice ram! What kind of rims with what offset. And tire size? Looks good
They are stock steel wheels.
Stock rims, 35” tires and 1” Bora wheel spacers. Getting it as close as possible to +25mm positive offset
So going down looked easier then I bet it was... I'd be more worried about how the heck you gonna get back out?? lol
We were! But we were confident enough that we could get ourselves out one way or another.
Hey little guys!!!!
I've got a 2500 w Cummins and this was hard to watch..amazing drivers!!!
Question...should I get rockrail steps or those that disappear under the truck?? I want durable but not lose clearance..wife is under 5' and has hard time getting in!! What recommend??
Do you plan on taking your RAM into areas like this where you may contact the rockers with immovable objects? If so, then get White Knuckle Step sliders which I have, or possibly these shown which are Randy Ellis Design. If tarmac bound, then get AMPs or whatever floats your boat.
@@donleamon8653 I go off-road all the time..just not THAT severe...the problem is I always end up in shitty situation like that cuz I'm a dumbass....so I think the protection is nice.. beautiful truck and excellent driving...I have been stuck more times than I want to admit...a fun time last year I remember fondly that forced me to get chains rear and cables front plus new Wrangler duratracs..I was going up backroad to big bear CA on coxey truck trail..hit ice got where I couldn't move at all..2 full sizes later I'm out...a week later I'm buried in snow up there 3 trucks to pull me out...I get Into trouble cuz I'm stupid....next plan is bumpers and winch plus them sliders..
I wouldn’t get power steps. Those will just get smashed. There are rock sliders that either have built in steps or steps that you can clamp on.
@@AllTerrainFamily thanks!! Will look into sliders w built in steps. Wife is under 5 ft tall..it's a necessity.
@phuck ewe HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I can do that in my 02 extended cab Dodge Dakota V8 4 wheel drive
What sliders are on the PW?
Nosler Partition, www.randyellisdesign.com/DodgeCrewCabRockSlidersBodyArmor
And based on out testing they get a pretty big thumb up!
What front bumper is on the PW?
Kinzer
ATV and UTV's allowed or no?
I believe they are.
@@AllTerrainFamily thanks
Great video but dont post nothing else unless you fix them breaks
Why did they have the brakes on? Just go low range 1st gear and crawl down no 🤔🤔😑
It’s. Really. Steep. Steeper than it looks. I don’t think these rigs are geared low enough to get by without brakes on this trail.
We would need a manual transmission to crawl that slow down the hill, the slush boxes just let em roll.
@@shawnomeara22 I honestly have no experience with Auto Trans and 4 wheeling. As you can tell from my inability to even get the Ford into 4 low on episode 1 of our Mojave Road Video. ruclips.net/video/8iobIllAoXs/видео.html
Aye, way to steep to crawl down with no brakes, especially with the weight of the PW pulling it down.
Yeah. This is where you want the 6 speed manual with granny 1st.
I've run that trail a couple times in my built TJ. You are braver than I to take a full size rig down and back up. Why didn't you just loop back out through Little Deer lake?
Check back for Part 2...
I have a PW, I'll skip this one!!
Me too, I'd take my Lexus LX450 though.
