    20% tint on all windows, Deckplate mod, satoshi-ish grille, blacked out and/or body matched emblems, rattle canned rims, red l.e.d. interior lights, bilstein 5100's and OME 881 coils , deaver 8 leaf pack, 1.5" lift shackle, alpine sound system, 55w HID lightforce 140 and 170 fogs
    For Fairbanks definitely an autostart and block heater. Oil pan heater and battery blanket too if you’re wanting to be safe but they’re not quite as necessary. -40 isn’t fun for starting vehicles

    @SnowroxKT are you suggesting he run illegal gas cans over the border?

    Canada gas can group buy anyone?

    Thanks for the pointers, looks like a solid list to start building up to! Remote start seems like a good place to kick it off.

    Yeah I've been so used to same day-2 day delivery on everything through Amazon so definitely gonna have to switch up my shopping patterns and where I get my groceries from. I had no idea about gas can regulations either, that's interesting stuff.

    Also, if you're planning any future mods to your truck, such as suspension, or armor, get that now with free CONUS shipping. We don't count and it gets expensive to ship the heavy stuff up by barge/air.

    Pick up a copy of “The Milepost”. It’s orobably the most useful thing you should have for your drive up to Alaska.

    Hey fellas. Welp I officially applied for an opening in delta junction for their elementary school teaching position. My inlaws live in delta so I'm hoping they interview me! We love AK and hope to move up there one day.

    Bed racks seem the strongest to me. I have CBI rack sides (needs croasvars) for a second gen I don't think I'll use after playing with mounting options, pm if interested.

    I'm pretty sure I've tried to explain this to a few of you guys. This might be easier to get what I was talking about lol.
