    the spirit of the Alcan 5000 is very well alive... :) "So we (Car 10) headed out Tuesday morning, from southern Ontario. Peter is driving the car, and I'm flying out to meet up with him in Seattle. He's made it to Spokane, heading to Seattle as I type. Was a big haul to get it ready, as the...

    SOLD... Headed to WA. VW Syncro Westfalia 1990. $36k

    Very nice. Price seems reasonable too, beside perhaps the dent in the sliding door.

    Alaska Bound: Long Roads, Questionable Choices – Alcan 5000 2025

    Last-minute prep! Turns out the N55’s party trick is shredding its serpentine belt and feeding it straight into the crank seal like spaghetti. So… new belt, new tensioner, and a seal guard to keep it from snacking on itself.

    What is the market like these days for used Series 70 Land Cruisers?

    "And lastly, ask yourself "why do I want one." If it's for looks, if it's for Instagram, save yourself a lot of pain and grow up. If you just want a tough reliable vehicle to travel the western hemisphere in, just buy any used 4Runner from any Toyota dealership anywhere in America and be done...

    Lux campers taken over by homeless

    yes it seems bizarre to me that they would have just parked a bunch of them in an open desert yard and just "hope" nothing would happen. These are very expensive trailers, I would have put them in a warehouse or something a little bit more protected.
