I special ordered my 2005 Power Wagon before they were available at the dealer show rooms and before there were any Power Wagon specific accessory catalogues available.
Since 1986, I've been hauling military and civilian Dodge 4x4's to and from Texas - often 2 at a time. Several times I loaded two trucks with a single pull. My trailers were all equipped to use the hitch mount Warn winches. I already had all the items contained in that MOPAR accessory kit. In addition to the 16,000 lb. Warn snatch block, Part Number 8555, MADE IN THE USA, I have an 8 TON, LEBUS snatch block, Model L5, MADE IN LONGVIEW, TEXAS, USA. (LEBUS is an old oil field rigging equipment manufacturer.)
Everything on display at the Museum was made in the USA. I've explained to my wife that I have no "junk". All the old trucks, tools, and toys on display are "artifacts". It's nice to use a 100 year old ratchet set to work on a truck that was built in the USA.
