Why cut that pinch weld? Without actually seeing it for myself, so i could be wrong, it LOOKS like you could just hammer the bottom 6 inches of the pinch weld over flat.
Thanks for the video. I just putted 37” tires on my 2014 ram with the same way and it is working. I have 2” lift spacer on the front but I think it is not big different versus stock.
I like the look, but I think I would have cut that back farther, and rewelded the seam back together. Then used some very good rust inhibitor, and painted the area with line x. Then put a set of pocket flares on to protect the body. That seam may start rusting or split open if it gets hit, all of which is really bad on any vehicle, let alone a 60k truck.
There's always this one guy who dislikes my videos and gives a thumbs down. Thank you to whoever you are for still giving me a view. Over and over again.
Thanks, but music is luckily a matter of taste. I am running the Thuren Overland System with a 1.5" Front Height lift. Haven't had any rubbing but I'm not doing any hardcore wheeling. Most offroad the truck is seeing is when I go hunting.
whats he offset on those rims? if its less than 20mm I'm thinking you could better clearance with a 20mm offset. Think I'm gonna take a 3lb sledgehammer to he pinchweld though when I get mine at the end of next year.
They're -12. According to Thuren suspensions, I believe +18 would be the best offset with the most clearance. But please confirm on the Thuren website for your model year.
@@homeguy4 yeah, I'll pay for carli or thuren and have a better ride and clearance. That truck with the proper rim would clear everything fine. The aev rims are made to do just that. It's when you get the wrong backspace that you end up trimming.
The trimming was really straight forward. But yes, the negative 12 offset is the culprit. I do like the look of the Wheels slightly sticking out but only after I added flares which aligns the wheels with the rest of the truck. I'd love to go with 40s some day and the AEV kit for that.
It just makes me cringe to see a cutting wheel on a nice new truck. If I needed 37s that bad I think I would have lifted it a bit. Wait till the rust settles in on your fenders. You will regret it then. Good luck.
I have a 18 powerwagon, with a 5 inch lift from Rought Country and 37 inch Nitto Tires, no cutting or rubbing.... fuck all that cutting, looks nice right now but yeah, wait for the rust to kick your ass on the fender within couple of years....
First off, lifting a PW, even 3 more inches, nets you ZERO more tire clearance than stock (Mr. Thuren and Mr. Carli both agree). Rust settles? Uh, paint/primer with rust inhibitors (like pro shops use) works great.
Thanks! I am running the Thuren Overland System with a 1.5" Front Height lift. Other than that, you will have to cut some of the wheel house liner and that pinch weld. So far I haven't had any additional rubbing but wanted to grind down the pinch weld a little more, just to be on the safe side.
Texas JAGD not sure if you already did anymore trimming but I’d do some cuts and then hammer theme towards the side to give more clearance and you won’t have a sharp edge
@@marcusmendoza9354 That is precisely what I did with my last truck, a Suburban 2500. One perpendicular cut up high with the grinder and then use a persuader (aka mini sledge) to hammer the pinch weld over. Sprayed on some undercoat protection and good to go. On that truck there was a trick to not cut the fender liner, where you pull the pop-pins. Pull the liner back out of the way to do cutting/pounding. Then put the liner back in place, pushed all the way back in against the now bent in pinch weld. Mark the new spot for pop-pins, drill a new hole in liner and resecure the pop-pin in the new location. I will be doing this mod on my 2013 PW soon and i am going to see if this technique carried over from the Sub will work somehow on the PW.
You have any luck resetting your TPMS system? I keep getting shot down by dealerships, they say its against the law for them to do it. I even explained AEV's instructions and the system is never disabled.
Jon Luther I used the AEV ProCal to change the minimum pressure amount but since I've out those tires on, I have all sensors complain about the tire pressure. The ProCal allows you to set the threshold to 35 as well, but I haven't done that yet. Right now it's at 50. Would be great to set it to 45 or so, but the ProCal has only three presets you can program.
Texas JAGD I was able to get a local dealership (in California), that is an authorized AEV dealer, to reset the TPMS system. It is now set to 50 psi all around, and no more light. Cost one hour of labor. Much simpler than all the posts about using an AUTEL programmer.
I think it’s been said in the comments already, but a +18-+25 offset will allow for fitting 37s with only plastic trimming on on power wagons (according to Cjc off-road). I’m debating it. I don’t need 37s but man they look killer!!!!
Cool truck. I have an 18 PW that lives in CO (I'm in TX). What's the point of 37's or a PW in Texas? Do you use it for anything other than driving around town?
Texas JAGD welcome to the states! Looks like your settling in well. Hahahahaha. A lot of us are of German decent. You should help people find some of the Heritage. It was beaten out of our people along time ago.
Would the "American Expedition Vehicles" system shown in the video below, work on the Power Wagon? Their "Prospector" edition covers 37" tires with only a 3" lift that utilizes the stock springs. There's a few other cool changes that are mentioned it this video.
Shawn_358 I hear you. However, this truck should come from factory with 35s minimum, preferably 37s. Remember, this is a very purpose built off road truck.
I have a 2018 PW and I put the same tires in 35 size but the AT's This truck have 26" of travel they will bind and rub even though you do the trimming. Need a lift lit with 37" 35"s fit perfect. Look nice.
I have 2017 PW factory 33s and I’m not liking the look lol. Can I put nitto trail grapplers in 35s on it with the truck stock? Or do I need a lift kit on it for the 35s to fit. Thank you
@@POOL_EXCAVATIONS With 11.5 you might get lucky. I recently saw a post in a Power Wagon FB group that 35x12.5 rubbed for some folks. But then again, it depends on the offset. If you go with +18 to 0, you should be fine.
@@TexasJAGD ya i have a 3rd gen powerwagon with 33s n its killing me would to get some 37s on there but dont want to lift your truck looks great with em
We have very similar Power Wagons, I too am running the Thuren 1.5" coils up front and 37" Toyo RT's. I am only a few hours away from you as well, might have to meet up next time I'm in the Austin area.
With the right offset, you can make them fit without cutting. But wheels with 0 to +18 offset are hard to find. Most wheels I was interested in came with negative offset. Either way, if you're not comfortable cutting your truck, then don't do it.
Ranch Hand! I like the AMP research power steps because you can maintain a taller look but for my purposes, the Ranch Hand steps with the third step for the truck bed really are a better fit. I use that third step all the time. Install was easy.
Power Wagon has 2.5 inch lift from factory. I added a Thuren Overland 1.5 system, which brought it up another 1" in the front. If I had added another 2 inches, I probably would have cleared it

Agreed! If you're on Facebook, send me some photos. Curious to see a Rebel on 37s! www.texasjagd.com/facebook

Jeep world does this, some guys elect to trim and bondo.
Do you have issues over bumps when wheel is turned
Slowly going back and forth over bumps can lead to your tire making contact with the wheel house liner
Thanks for the video. I just putted 37” tires on my 2014 ram with the same way and it is working. I have 2” lift spacer on the front but I think it is not big different versus stock.
