At the end of the Cassiar we took a very worthwhile detour out to Stewart and Hyder. I had been here about 12 years earlier but came one a rainy cloudy day and had no idea what I was missing. This is another must see. The drive into Hyder is gorgeous. There were two really incredible...

From Dawson City we headed south for Whitehorse. Route 13 diesel there was very helpful to me when the dpf filter plugged up on the way north, but MotorOps, the company that I bought the tuning from has been nothing but difficult to work with. The truck has tons more power but needs a few tweaks...

From Fairbanks we we headed down to Tok and then up to chicken. The Top of the world highway goes from here to Dawson City and was absolutely breathtaking. Pictures don’t do it justice but it was one of my favorite roads of the entire trip. It’s a must see if you drive to AK in my opinion...

Sorry for the long break in posts. Didn’t have much cell service on the way home and then had to catch up once we got home. I’ll try and start where we left off...Deadhorse. We had great weather in Deadhorse. Had to do the tourist trip out to the ocean and go for a dip It was high 40’s...

Also true...cell service in Canada was $$ so didn’t post on the trip home. And it was Smokey... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha! Nope. Sorry. Got back to real life a week or so back and getting caught up. I’m posting up some pics now [emoji3]

Oh...and apparently the 7am shaking was 6.0 magnitude earthquake [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well...we’ve made it to Deadhorse! Camped on the koyokuk river north of Coldfoot last night. Took a 1am pic...still sunny! Came through the Brooks range in gorgeous weather I think I caught some air on the frost heaves [emoji3]. That might explain the broken shock mount on the front...

We camped at a lake outside Eagle River last night that was super peaceful: Ran into this guy: We’ve headed North now towards Fairbanks up the parks hiway. Beautiful drive. We spent an hour in Denali [emoji17]

And we’re back! Camping at the foot of the exit glacier: Boondocking is tough around here but we found a pullout on the way to the exit glacier where a few other folks were camping and spent two nights there waiting for weather to clear. We knocked around Seward for a day. Cool little...

Been a while since I did an update. We ran into some rainy weather in SE Alaska and slowed down a bit to wait it out. Also, there is just so much amazing scenery we have been on view overload! We drove the amazing Glenn hiway and barely took a pic as there is just so much to see...

Oh they are certainly here but not horrible yet. I’ve heard that July is the worst and they should be tapering off now.

We made it to Kennicott mine and the root glacier. Fun exploring and history. Ran into our friends Tommi and Raymone who we’d met back at deadman lake in their amazing 78 series Cruiser. They’ve been traveling seven years in this truck...Africa, Australia, America’s. Great company. And...

Stayed at a great campground at Deadman lake. They have free canoes and fishing was awesome. Oldest son caught his first two fish [emoji106] On the road to McCarthy and Kennicott today. Beautiful scenery. This tressel was built in 8 days in 1910! Also saw this cool land train at the...

Well we’re rolling again and it feels great! Had to spend another night in Whitehorse after pulling codes on the truck and fearing a clogged dpf filter. With help of my assistants I removed the dpf and put on a large Donaldson muffler. Route 13 Diesel was very helpful and got a tune on the...

Sure thing. Pretty pleased so far. A little bit of a howl on highway but better than the worn mud Tires I had on before.

Well...we tried to leave Whitehorse yesterday. Truck still didn’t seem right so had the codes pulled by a local diesel shop and they diagnosed a clogged dpf system. [emoji853] Getting a new dpf in Yukon was going to take some time and serious $$$. So: I was able to working a parking lot and...

Nothing like a little campground wheel alignment to start the day [emoji51] Shame on me for waiting until the front tire started wearing funny to do this...

Well I’m thinking it might have been the air filter. I’m embarrassed and tentatively relieved. Old one didn’t look bad, but with the new one in the turbo sounds back to normal and the few miles I’ve driven have back to normal economy. Still going to find a shop to pull codes in the morning and...
