Thanks Kurt, went to m37 and read that he is bringing out geared portal hubs for different applications including the powerwagons! No more unlocked diffs and now the clearance will increase on the bellydragger i have. wonder if they will have the same bolt hole pattern so i could use the budd type wheels? How exciting, finally i will be able to take my truck same places and more that my jeep club does. The powerwagon is really not much with its open diffs and low, long wheelbase,, I sometimes have to get my jeep to rescue it off of rock hangups but i still love it the same. I can't wait to see the reduction hubs/portal axle adapted to powewagon with locking DanT Killer axle set up, finally the laughter will stop i hope. The new dodge rockcrawler, thanks to Daniel T! No more leaving my truck at the trail entrance! I guess all the jeeps and chevys frds will be getting the axle first but there is a chance he will do dodge first as he owns one himself. Why is everybody talking about the powerwagon/not a powerwagon, jeep share a lot of same parts designs, people call them jeeps even though several different companies produced them, those who really work there equiptment know the difference bewteen them, is this just a restorer problem? Heck, i think of them as all powerwagons, just differnt models, like jeeps. Is my jeep not a flatfender but not a powerwagon. I bet 3/4 of these guys never drive off road but cruize the forums and the flea markets looking for something to restore not work like it should be, it really shows in the classifeds here, looks like a restore and snore crowd here,where is the rockcrawlin talk, i will go back to my Utah ranch and tell my powerwagon truck and jeep the good news now both can rescue each other from rocks!
