Arctic Travel - California to Arctic and Back in Winter

By far the best thread on here. So refreshing to see someone using their truck for actual adventures instead of 'MUDDED THRU A FIELD LUK AT MY FLEX LULZ'

Great post OP. Congrats on your journey!

 

I love this thread. That trip looked amazing! Great pictures!

 

Sorry, only getting to this now. 2 inch lift is OEM( bigger coil and shocks).

 

OME, perhaps?

 

Agreed...so much more meaningful than 'my cab looks better than yours'

 

This is how I started but did not like the LED bar being so high.


Took a corner brace from HD (8 inch I think) and bend it which ever way I wanted...I have over 10 K miles on it now and it is holding good.

 

Autoanything...It was $68.30 shipped home(it has both Winter and summer covers).

 

Let me know if this helps

Just run the truck. It consumes 0.345-0.45 gallon an hour.

 

Just do it. Only one reason to do it and millions not to. Drive carefully and slow. The locals drive like it is the last day on Earth, if you drive like them it might be yours though. Let the locals pass you by and enjoy the drive and scenery.

 

+1 on the third pedal. You pretty much have my dream truck, just in a DCSB. Would have loved a Pro in AC, but I couldn't justify the money.

 

Welcome back. As I posted earlier, we made it as far a Coldfoot a few years ago, during the summer, and were able to spend 6 weeks doing the trip, beginning and ending in Louisville. If you ever venture the Alcan and Dalton again during the summer moths, bucket list trip ver2.0, it will be like two different worlds. We pulled a modified pop up (lifted and larger tires) and camped and fished in some wonderful and pristine wilderness areas in Canada and Alaska. Not easily describable to wannabe's. I envy your adventurous spirit and it was deja vu to follow your posts. Thanks.

 

Awesome thread and even more awesome trip! Truck looks great!

 

Awesome trip, very cool write up, thanks for taking us along for the ride.

 

great slide show,we liked it alot!

 

How did you transport your gas cans, in the bed or on the roof?

 

OP, I salute you for your journey.
I wanted to do this exact trip myself to enjoy some camping in AK. However, time never workout for me or my buddies before I shipped out for the Air Force.

 

Well, initial plan was to put it on the roof. Then it got so cold that I moved a bunch of stuff inside the cab and tied down the gas cans in the bed.

 

I have a young kiddo, so there is no way I can do with a access cab, I need a full DC.

 

I feel like I owe you dinner or something for sharing this awesome adventure with us.
