    California Powerwagons

    Most of my vehicles and trailers I've purchased out of state including from California. Certainly made it much more expensive in rural Colorado to comply with California requirements on the replacement of on my older truck's Federal catalytic converters.

    2013 Power Wagon - What Would You Do to It?

    Yes, I see that now. I don't see too many tonneau covers around here, mostly toppers, but then our snowfall just yesterday still in October was from 12 to 16 inches. I have a lot more confidence with a topper under 4' of snow.

    What did you do with your (new) stock tires?

    Next time get some studdable tires and do the job right. We can run them legally all year here. I still have my tire marks burned into a concrete driveway from 1973. They last a lifetime.
