    Really interested! Few questions:

    1.Dont have an fridge/freezer or a yeti tho. Will we be near places for ice and food at points in the trip?

    2.CB or Ham? Have a cb not tuned and ham handheld :notsure:

    3.No compressor or lockers? Still good to go ya think?

    Thanks for putting this together, wanting to try and do a trip to alaska in the fall and this will be a good way for me to figure out what the truck needs before that monster of a trip.

    Im sure @goblue82 will chime in on this as well but,

    1. I'm sure there are other people (myself included) that are in the same situation as you.

    2. Ham

    3. No worries, there will definitely other people without lockers.

    Thanks man! I know most of these places have trails for all sorts of vehicles but figured the longer I can stay with the pack the better so recovery situations will be smoother.

    I have that handheld ham that everyone runs but not sure if I have to do that tune or mod to it for it to reach more frequencies.

    Hopefully once the route is mapped out well know about where we can fill up on gas and food and such

    Awesome idea, Greg! Michelle and I are planning a similar trip next year to coincide with Rock Therapy, maybe we'll see you out there!

    Sounds like a fun trip and I wish I could join. Burr trail is one of the most beautiful dirt roads I've ever driven. Be careful driving around the Zion/Bryce Canyon/Capitol Reef area at night. Lots and lots of open range cows on the road sometimes at night. At least hitting one got me some insurance money to buy my Tacoma!

    Sounds good!

    I do not see Moab as a must. I think time would be better spent exploring and seeing things along the way, rather than shooting for time at Moab. Might be too much for 7 days.

    I second this. Moab isn't a must for me, but I'm willing to extend so we don't have to feel rushed if we do end up going.
