The Power Wagon sits in its own niche; a heavy duty truck with a beefed up version of the Jeep Rubicon suspension; solid front axle, disconnecting front sway bar for more articulation off-road and radius arms that articulate to allow the front axle to flex more.  It has locking a locking rear differential, which is fairly common and it also comes with a segment exclusive locking front differential.  It even comes with a 12,000lb Warn winch from the factory.  Despite its comparatively “soft” off-road suspension it can still tow over 10,0000 lbs and carry a 1,500 lb payload; so it is still practical.

Out of the box the Power Wagon is very capable.  The goal for this project is to get tame the rough ride and see if I can get it closer to the Raptor which it replaced.
