Wheeling the PW on pig-trails

I quickly found the limits of my long wheelbase at the SE Overland Rally & Workshop on tight rocky twisty hilly stuff; thought I'd try the Power Wagon out on our local pig-trails over the weekend.
Lots of mud usually but it was dry Saturday; the hills were steep, some of the turns were a bit tight, and the wheelbase was problematic again.
Net result, I sanded down the rockers when I got home and shot them with truck-bed liner. Hides the dents, scratches, and mutations.

I need sliders. Badly.

Look at the range of articulation starting around the 18 second mark. I was pretty happy with it.
You can't really tell the depth of that ditch or the pitch of the camber opposite it; it's a tricky little section of road. Yeah, this is a county road, totally open to the public.

Tried to tell you the '07 10" shorter wheelbase had advantages :)
Glad you are liking the truck in all honesty, they get the job done...

The articulation of the Power Wagons is just sick.. thanks for the video. My 06' just turned 85K, just put a third set of tires on it, second winch cable, and I ask more and more of it all the time in the towing department, and it just keeps kickin' butt and beggin' for more.

the amazing thing to me is the feel of the truck, while big, it feels much smaller and tighter than it should, just great trucks for sure.
