New Guy from California

Post by DesertExplorer75 » Tue Jun 21, 2022 9:01 pm

Long time lurker and dreamer. A few friends have PWs already and another has a new one on order due any day.

Dreams at times become reality. Mine did!

Picked up a used Tradesman Power Wagon for a fairly good price. It has some mods of which are similar to what I wanted to do to a truck if I bought it stock. The one owner moved up to a CCLB dually Cummins to hold a side by side so I took the PW off his hands.
Only a few mods planned for the moment including upgrading the radio, a few lights and moving a few things over from my other truck when time and money permit.
Looking forward to being a member here and gaining ideas and more knowledge.

Thanks!
