This is my ongoing 47 Dodge Power Wagon build from an old Pro-line body, wood, metal, fiberglass, Touarag Chassis, Candy tins, misc detail parts, F-350 lights, blackfoot driver, led controller, misc bits of old computer frames, etc. Was in Caraction magazine last year so it might look familiar. This is just some random pics of it. I hope they entertain or give ideas.

You continue to impress.

Do you just keep these stock piled and then pull one out every couple of weeks? :)

This is such an awesome truck! Not exactly something you want to roll down some rocks though! :LOL:

Awesome truck! I like the second to last shot the best. One of my favorite things to do is run my trucks in the snow and try to "crawl" up and down icy slopes.

Thanks fellas, I haven't seen the one RCC as I'm kinda new to using forums but I'll try to go find that sounds cool. I do have quite a large collection of scale and scale 1.9 trucks and I don't want to flood the Tamiya Crawlers with them all at once ;)

Maybe you should post a couple of the published pics. :)

OK Mr. Seagull can do. Here are a few more random shots for reference. This truck is kind of a piece of folk art to me as I like how it has a handmade feeling and it was done for very little money from junk around the shop, I think less than $300 including Touareg and radio gear. Most of the build just took a lot of time. It is not very strong for rough use being wood but I do drive it quite a bit. The sides are easily removeable as well for flatbed service.

I've been working on my CC-01 Power Wagon while working on my Tundra project at same time. I added larger 1.9 rc4wd tomahawk tires, jack, and a few various other details and soon I'll be weathering it much more and maybe making the "real" grille as suggested. The most fun builds for me are never finished and they can be revisited for years as ideas surface.

Here are some current pictures of the old PowerWagon I've started to weather it finally, added some bigger rc4wd tires, a few more details. Lots more is planned for the future.

I like the weathered look and the tires are cool, wide like the truck. The forth picture with the Bronco in the the background is the best!!

looks neat.... I kinda wonder how it would look with king hauler rims / tires.

LOVE the mudflaps :D

Yeah They might look pretty good but without buying a whole kit those Semi wheels are hard to find.
