    Nice pics from Alaska! Interesting note about the seemingly anti 4x4 trails.

    Sure thing, give me about another week of hitting the house projects hard and I will be ready for an offroad trip.

    I'm waiting to pick my Dad up from the airport now and just found the whoops along the dyke of Cushman. That was fun haven't had high speed whoops like in way too long.

    Got out with another TW member today and saw some amazing terrain. Also had a shale covered hill that took the lockers and a lot of skinny pedal to get back up.

    Found a decent spot for the traction ramps

    First post updated with some more pictures. I have some dead links around pages 15-17 in the thread due to reorganizing my photobucket. Everything else should be good to go.

    Replaced a wheel bearing and found a missing brake pad pin, clip, and anti-rattle spring.

    "play long travel games, win long travel prizes". An hour drive round trip and $10 in parts and it's good to go.

    Thanks. That's what I'm going to do when it's time. He does great work from everything I've seen. How many miles are you getting outta your bearings?

    I got about a hundred thousand out of the original. The set I replaced them with Marion last a very hard 40-45,000.

    This is my second set from Marion bumper2bumper

    Battery all of a sudden shit the bed today (Duralast Gold). Replaced under warranty.

    My little micro-start back up / jumper battery (about the size of a lap top battery) did great firing the truck up though.

    Now fully winterized. Coolant is mixed for protection down to -80, block heater installed, engine pan and transmission pan heater pads installed, and a battery tender mounted up; all wired to a junction box / single cord to go out to the power outlet.

    Can you recommend the one you have brand/model? I'm considering adding one to my collection of recovery gear. Thanks.

    Sounds intense! I did have to close my window a little bit last night 'cause of a winter storm. :p :D

    If size/weight isn't a huge concern I would suggest something with more power and better components. The problem with al those mini jumps are the small cheap cables being the bottle neck. I just did a bunch of research and ordered the below last week. But my intended use in to be in my trailer or garage or to power a small weekend away.
