Almost like the rock crusher co was bought up to make those ones very close to the same. The dyntrac also look similar. You think they might be manufactured in same place? Either way these are all some stout covers lol. Thanks for the link reading up on it.

The company that made the Rock Crushers went out of business years ago. I was lucky enough to get covers for my Power Wagon. Front 9.5 AAM, and rear 10.5 AAM. The RC covers are made from cast steel, not cast iron. And weight about 15 lbs each.

Last pic. I real beat that cover off that rock.

I miss the roominess of the PW. But not the fuel mileage. LOL I consider the JTR as a small PW. Just missing the winch.
Was you ever on the Power Wagon Registry? I go by the same handle over there.

Oh yea.....I remember you. you did the H2 wheels.

I'm one of the OG's there. I was there when Leif started the forum. We was kicked off of Dodge Talk because one mod didn't like any of us PW guys. Leif turned the forum over to Mike and Ace. And it hasn't been the same since. Mike wanted to make money off of the forum. That really turned a bunch of guys off.

Here's my thread.

The poor rocks lol! That is a lot of steel gotta be worth a bit in just raw materials they probably needed to charge more for those things.

Think I paid about $130 each for the RC's. I sold them for $400 for both.

Have my Hi-Lift jack mounted in bed. Got the mounts from Northridge. Also got a 39" long, 12" wide, and 12" high tool box to hold my recovery gear.

My Rusty's Offroad skid plates for the rear lower control arm frame mount came in. They're beefy. 1/4" thick. They come bare, so I sprayed them with spray bedliner. Makes it easier to touch up.

My Rock Hard skid plates for the lower control arms and rear lower shock mounts came in. I need some good weather to install all of this stuff.

1st and last pic's are the front lower control arm skid plates. The middle 2 pic's are the rear control arm and shock skid plates.

My Steer Smarts steering bracket came in today from Northridge. Got it installed. The wire they talk about in the video's that has to be relocated. I didn't have that.

 

[Rusty PW]

Got the proto Clayton springs installed today too. The stock spring measure 17" tall. The Clayton's measure 18" tall. Both have the same number of coils at 9. The wire diameter for the stock spring is 0.593. For the Clayton's is 0.553. The Clayton springs raised the front by about an inch. The JT sits almost level. The ride is stiffer. It doesn't float.

In the 3rd picture. The big spring is a stock 3G Power Wagon spring.

The 4th picture is what the '22 bump stop looks like.
