I had a local welder make me a couple of holders

Man, I was at that cross road about a year back, had the same thinking and I am 63, 6’2” & 235lbs. I love my RTT, TuffStuff Alpha ll, got it on a pre order and a great price. I mostly camp alone, so it’s the perfect size. I mounted it on my Tacoma with a Victory half rack because of the...

I will be a maybe, I have some stuff to pickup in Denver, but don’t know if it will be in by then

I would need to ask, where do you want to go without the 30’ trailer? How much stuff do you want to carry? I will not get a full size truck because of where I want to go. What color is the F250? Dark colors will show scratches and right now you have none. The older 4Runner is about a foot...

I use an iPad with Gaia and a BadElf GPS. I also use the ioverlander app for finding camp sites at times. I dont really like on-X. I love using my iPad, I like the informationI get on Gaia, wish my CarPlay Gaia did that. I just did the Pony Express using my iPad & Gaia and paper maps, it...

Do a search on bears getting into vehicles, like this https://activenorcal.com/bear-uses-force-to-break-into-multiple-cars-near-lake-tahoe/ now I have left stuff in a vehicle, but I put down bleach, Cayenne pepper or something to distract the smell

When I had my trailer built, we did a removable tongue, could still be stolen, but a lot more work. I will also wrap a cable around the axle and through the wheel

Hi, I am hoping that some of you have done this trip. I have watch a bunch of videos and done some reading that I could find, but I could of missed a little or a lot. Looked at Benchmarks maps and found the route, mapped the trip on Gaia. I have seen videos of the “Silt parts” but they really...

That’s the ticket

If you haven’t done this, do it. Plus Paul has done most of it a few times and knows the layout. I hope to go back up in a year or two

So one thing that no one talked about in the number of people who showed up or didn’t show up when you plan and do a trip like this. The full trip would be a month or longer, about like my last Alaska trip where only 2 of 5 vehicles showed up and people decided to do their own thing about 2.5...

Good to hear that ArmyRN made it home safe and that T Stanley is still trucking along on the trail. You do everything you can to make sure your ready for a trip like this or any trip, but then stuff happens and you adapt. There is always another day to redo or do another trip. My last Alaska...

I would love to do a trip north like this, been to Tuk once and Arctic Circle 3 times, but I think I would pick a time with more daylight, but that’s me. Got to see the Northern Lights once up in Goosebay. I like to know, what are the plans for vehicle and personal preparation?

I was in Michigan at the end of May, I showed my Colorado drivers license with my military emblem on it and was given a free National Parks pass

I have a Warn Zeon 10s that I purchased back in 2015 and I keep moving from one vehicle to another. I have only used it 5 times and it hasn’t let me down

I live in SW Colorado, I haven’t been on any of the trails yet this year, but the mountains are still covered, so I doubt the trails are open going across the passes. Most years it’s late June to July before they open. something you might look at is the NMBDR, you could do the section between...
