Where abouts in Ga? I lived in Lincolnton for 4 years, right on Clarks Hill. Vidalia for 11 years and now, even though I'm in Florida at the moment, I still have some land in extreme south Georgia.

BTW, I thinking about $22 for the PW, so figuring in the cost of new 37" meats, I'd make them come down close to that if not a little lower. The PW would have 4" of lift if it's running 37s. Sounds like a beast...

I am in the Savannah area. We just moved here last Nov from Rapid City, SD...It is good to be back in the South!

Here are a few pics of the 2 trucks I'm considering.

Last week I saw a Powerwagon on the dealership lot, and thought about (for a minute) trading my 06 Ram in on it. It was a 2010 with 13000 miles, Brush guard with Piaa lights, and all the bells and whistles (of course).
Their asking price was $39,900. But thats here in Wyoming, where the economy stayed straight on the uphill.
My only worry is using a Powerwagon for what it's made for. I have a 20k truck that I get a bit testy about when people with zippers lean against it. Let alone a 40k truck made to scratch the pines and climb a tree.
Then again, its all moot, because the next day that Powerwagon was GONE.
Yeah, I'd get the Powerwagon.

That power wagon has several grand in upgrades and the power wagon worth several thousand more with it's upgrades over stock. You've got gears and a lift taken care of, lockers, electronic disconnecting sway bar, etc. I'd say PW hands down. Not even a comparison.
