aaahhhhh....for the whole time, I thought you still had the Power Wagon, so I completely ruled out any sort of pickup style vehicles or any diesel.

Glad you laid the GT4 thing to rest. There was that 1% chance that I still cling onto. Now I am in peace.

I got it for 1% under. Used the Tread Lightly program.

Sucks that the rust belt ate up your Power Wagon.

You should some of them on the Gladiator forum.

40" tires are almost mandatory.

Since the old power wagon rusted, are you considering an under coating on this one?

I had it undercoated. But didn't follow through with taking it back in for touch ups. Where it rusted is where the front tire throws up a **** load of rocks.

Have an appointment next week with Ziebart for undercoat. Planning on following through with the touch ups. Going in for LineX bed liner too.

Getting my Commander Hemi more and more looking like that Gladiator pic with all the Overland goodies.

Always wanted to go to one of those meets just to see.

ZS Carpenter is building a WV Touareg overlander now. He had it at the house last Labor Day meet. It's different.

I'm sure I'll walk away with a lot of wallet-draining ideas.

I'll bet ZS is the only one that's Overland'ed a VW Touareg. Cool on him though!

Made it to the Overland/OffRoad Expo... gathered a ton of ideas for the Jeep... got home later that day and ordered a new gas tank for my KTM EXC.

There is just so much out there for overlanding. It's unbelievable.

Do you have those new 40s on your Jeep yet?
