    I've heard Sams Club is decent. I believe Matt got his there. Or check Amazon if you have a prime account

    I went with Sam's club. They were really helpful in getting my size duratracs with the right rating shipped up here at no cost to me.

    Breton did your truck have all the mods on it at the 100th meet? I thought I remembered it being all stock and I saw it at the gym today and it looked a lot different lol

    It had the lift and larger KO tires on it for that meet. Since then I put the smaller duratracs and different wheels on it. Also I put the sliders on.

    I'm gonna be in Anchorage at 12:30.. so I'm going to miss that one either way... Sounds awesome, though!

    Never done the standby thing, before - pretty sure I'm just going to have to hang at the airport waiting for a spot on each flight..

    Yeah, standby sucks. I've done that a few times going out commercial fishing. I have a BBQ after the drive otherwise I'd be down for a beer. Some of these jokers on here might be down though ;)

    Right on! Yeah, I'm not too excited about it.. Originally the plan was to meet the boat on the 22nd - offload schedule changed to 21st; every single seat is booked on EVERY flight from the 21st to the 25th. WTF.

    Wow crazy. I spent an hour and a half pulling my family friends F150 out of the sand on the beach in Kenai a few days ago while dipping. That scenario crossed my mind. His 4wd went out and he was loaded up with gear for a few days of camping and dipping. Eventually got him out but I was stressing about my strap breaking or his tow hook snapping.

    This was down on the Kenai beach too. Story is the guys starter went out, and the truck was just out of warranty to make it all that much worse. They hired a couple rednecks in huge fullsize rigs to pull him out to the road. The straps they were using were huge, no way those were breaking.

    Oh crazy. That beach is terrible this year. So many people are getting stuck. I saw an astro van stuck up to its door panels lol. Also saw a big lifted old check being pulled out by another huge old truck, I which was being towed by another older truck. It was a fun thing to watch lol.

    My truck did great though. Especially pulling out the ford. 4lo and the locker did the trick.
