    Power Wagons

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/enthusiasts/why-dont-we-just-run-internal-combustion-engines-on-hydrogen/ar-BBRE0BX?ocid=spartanntp As well as the fact that hydrogen has less energy per volume. I've built a few hydrogen units in my time as well as worked for companies that sell it so unless...

    Texas overlanding anyone?

    You have to remember there are only so many campsites. We ran into that on our trip. Since we live in TX it's a little hard to deal with. You have to show up and reserve each site. You have to do them in order so, if something happens and you lose time on the trail it can be difficult. We...

    Texas overlanding anyone?

    But...We may be up for it. Best park we have ever been to. Had two days of off road before the kids declared mutiny. Probably the most beautiful, desolate place I have ever experienced.

    Texas overlanding anyone?

    Big Bend in the summer??? We did it two years ago during the Christmas break. Netted temps anywhere from the high 90's to the low 30's with a little rain thrown in. The trails though...

    HELP! Power wagon or Cummins?

    I bought a 2017 PW to allow for more room than my 1979 Scout II when we hit the trails. Next thing I knew my wife decided we needed a travel trailer (37' triple slide) as opposed to our trusty pop up. The only thing I can say is that set up correctly, the PW handles everything I throw at it...

    International scout II or other old iron

    Maybe the site is telling me that I should post more than 12 times in 6 years. :drool:

    International scout II or other old iron

    No. It's random. I've tried everything including going through a bunch of pics. I've also tried things like changing the view. Next step is to review the file size to see if there is any correlation.

    International scout II or other old iron

    And the long range trail/tow rig when driving a Scout for 12+ hours with 3 kids, a wife and a dog is less than desirable. I'll add a pic when the site allows.

    Here's my current Scout II. 79' with a 304 and a few other modifications to make it fun for the rocks and camping.

    mega 2500 gasser build

    I really like anyone that has a scout (79' scout ii) and a ram with a 6.4 (17' PW). I feel like we're brothers from way way far away...and different parents.

    2017 Power Wagon

    I have a 2017 and drive Houston daily. Averaging 14 in really mixed conditions (including dragging trailers) so I can tell you that outside of brand new Cummins with no load ever, all of the jacked up power strokes get less mileage than I do. PM in industrial construction so needless to say my...
