I kind of look at the truck from when @Tex68w had it to now as when it was his, it was like the sheltered high school beauty queen who got straight A's and was the star volleyball player for her team. I got the girl who found herself in college, got tattoos, colored her hair and got all bruised...

So...50K mile update. Nothing glamorous - the Power Wagon has been a solid, reliable truck that has performed amazing on road and off road. After I returned from Afghanistan last March, I had three weeks to pack light to move to Colorado Springs for work. I had a friend stay at my house in...

I just passed 50K miles so I was planning on doing an update. I actually need to get it washed so the trail damage shows better.

A few life transitions have tamped down the exploring a bit, but it's always on my mind and we have done some minor trips. I am done working in Colorado and back home in Idaho, but getting the house ready to sell and move on to the next life adventure has been all-consuming. In the meantime...

Big Wow! for your Alaska stories and pictures. We are heading that way this summer...maybe permanently.

Thank you. I love the places this truck can get me to. I wish I had more time for longer trips so I can get deeper into the back country.

And all the while - exploring...

Got a winter camp in the high country just after Christmas. Our camp site was around 10500 feet, flurries and 35 mph winds through the night, wind chill in the negatives, but we stayed comfortable with good gear. The winds made setting up the tent and cooking a challenge but that is all part of...

So there we were - turning off the paved road to our secluded campsite back in a canyon somewhere in Colorado when I see a truck, camper and jeep that we all recognize so well. I told my wife a little about Jerry's onging thread and and his propensity for long walks on the beach ? and wondered...

Sometimes the road isn’t so hard but it gets me where the feet can take over.

More beauty from the road.

The R/Ts have been extremely durable and very streetable. I’ve taken the truck over every thing from rock field mountain pass trails to “run-of-the-mill” forest service roads every weekend. They also ride well on the 100’s of miles it takes to get to some of those roads. I plan to replace them...

The next location was even more remote.

Spent 4 nights camping in the back country. Complete solitude in the areas we camped in...also 10 degree nightso_O but worth it.

Another fine weekend. I like this vid because the lanscape makes to truck look so tiny.

Another great day exploring and hiking. I got to use 4-low going up to an alpine lake. My Leica crapped out on me but my iphone did a fair job with the pictures.

Mine get a little squeaky in cold weather but they are good to go most of the year 'round.

I’ve never taken another truck offroad like I have the PW so I can’t compare. I would say having a spotter (my wife) in tight situations definitely makes a difference for go/no-go. Due to the weight I would certainly not venture on something wet or muddy that I would do dry, but I consider...

If I had ordered a PW new, I would have deleted the decals, but it’s really about the journey for me, not the gear?
