I was thinking of a trip like this recently. Specifically the AK highway. I don’t know if it’s reasonable to believe that I could pull it off or not. Who is “in” and who is thinking it over, and what are the dates and details? How long will you spend from the Canadian border to the end?
Just so so we are on the same page, I don’t have any intention of goin wheelin in the AK outback! Stuff breaks, I don’t need to expedite it’s death, and I don’t want to be forced into fixing things if I don’t have to!
Winches are for emergencies not for extracting your every day driver ... especially when you are thousands of miles from home. If I was Uber wealthy I’d just drive a peterbilt with a couple 931’s for wheelin fun ... no, I’d pay someone to drive that, I’d drive a new defender.
The truth is, as much as I know my truck, I have to be prepared to ride shotgun in a $2k-$3k tow job home if I embark on such a mission.
Nonetheless, I’m interested. I get one shot at life, my useful portion is at minimum 70% used up, I’d like to fill the last part with more beautiful and enjoyable experiences.
