    An incident worth talking about. Kinetic Recovery Accident.

    Let’s see some POWER WAGONS!

    When I bought my first Power Wagon, the new versions were still nearly a decade away. The second one I bought is a year older than the first one was. You guys have some really nice rigs, but I'll keep my OG 440...

    It would also be nice if they shrank them back down to a normal size, but I don't have much hope for that happening. My buddy has a 2016 Sierra 2500 and it is simultaneously larger on the outside and smaller on the inside than my Power Wagon...

    1991 Dodge W250 Overland Tourer Build and Adventures

It is also a flat bed, and I am totally borrowing (outright stealing) your...
