Two Power Wagons, one mission
..to prove a stock Power Wagon can do things typically only Jeepers do.
A buddy of mine, who also has a Power Wagon, and I took a video camera out to Rio Puerco here in NM. In addition to some good pics, we got some phenomenal videos.

RE: Two Power Wagons, one mission
Guess it depends on the definition of expensive <grin>. Most of the PW folks I've talked to got theirs for $30K and under. I've seen some used '06s for about $26K.
They are a wicked truck. The times I've been out wheeling and run into people with highly modified vehicles and Jeeps, it's never failed to impress them. Especially when I tell them it's stock.
My wife thinks I'm bonkers for wheeling it (due to the cost of the truck), but I'm a very careful wheeler. So far no carnage on my truck except losing the front license plate bracket which most of the PW owners consider a rite of passage anyways. My buddy on the other hand has a heavy right foot. Heck he didn't even have his 24 hours before he put a big dent in the passenger rear door. <grin>

I got nothing but love for the older PWs. Those things were and still are hardcore. I have no doubt I could keep up with most of them. In fact TexasPowerWagon.com did just that.
I think though, that many of the older PWs had better ground clearance than I do, so that would be a big factor. If I put bigger meats on, it would most likely equalize out. <grin>

Funny you should mention that.

The F250 Powerstroke didn't actually do too bad, but he definitely didn't have the articulation or ground clearance. The other F250 (V-10) didn't even attempt it.
