I’m coming! Don’t know if this is an acceptable place to mention that I plan on bringing items for sale that normally would be hard to ship, like tires (14.00’s or 16.00’s), HEMTT rims, 1101 trailer with bows and tarp in great shape, S250 shelter, 101a2 sides and tarp, 105 tarp, 939 troop...

Maybe if someone from your area was going to the KAMO rally, we could coordinate a handoff?

Back on topic a bit, maybe 25 years ago, or so, I was warned about the safety of the AlCan Highway. Not to camp off the road itself as “pirates” did roam the highway. Not sure how true it was then, or if it still holds true today. I’m sure the highway has improved quite a bit since the mid...

Agreed. It’s odd. You think you would be safer in the outdoors than in the city. Not necessarily true. I was fishing outside of Bozeman a long time ago (before Bozeman was “cool”). A few guys showed up, you knew they were trouble from the moment I ran into them. I stuck my King Cobra in my...

Oh, I thought that was a given! Since Canada doesn’t allow my favorite bangsticks, I’ll have to settle for a shotgun. Which is perfectly acceptable to me. I have fished and hunted all over the West, Alaska and Canada. I’m more concerned with the two legged threats than the four legged ones.

Yeah, I didn’t listen either. When you feel bulletproof, sometimes it takes a bullet to bring you to your senses (metaphorically speaking, of course).

Nobody has said “fishing pole” yet. You guys are clearly not thinking ahead!

It’s on!

She sounds great. Kind of like the kind of woman who would let you take a trip to Alaska in your buddy’s 923A2 with AC and air ride seats! we could complain about our neck back and joints to each other the entire way!

time always wins in the end. Certain parts of the body body are unable to heal, specifically, disks. Once one is herniated or ruptured, it’s over pal. Live with the pain, PT or surgery, but that disk will never heal.

Kids ... Jeez!

Wes, that’s a pretty cool contraption. For a 934 it makes sense, since you don’t want it blocking your door. For a 923 with an S-280, I can use the extra 2’ of bed for a spare, and secure the bike on a lift. When I want to change tires, remove bike, lower tire with lift. I would install a side...

Right. But, I think you meant “re-injure your back”. After 30, most all of us have back issues!

Everyone puts a tire mount on the back, but, I don’t see anyone using a tailgate lift! They can be found pretty reasonable used and are about the perfect height for a lift on a 939. I have looked at a lot of systems, even earthroamer takes a long time to get the tire down. A lift is all in...

Thanks for the video link. I believe I had seen that before. I didn’t realize that was an S280. Seems all the S280 builds I have seen are on Mogs. I looked in ebY and found an RV door “like new - other”. Sure nuff, a scratch and dent model. I did talk talk to my insurance company about...

That’s what she said.

Carman, sorry you won’t be joining me, but thanks for the list. I have been collecting components for an expedition box for a while now. * 28v 3500 watt diesel generator * Two Outback 24v, 2500 watt pure sine inverters * S-280 (yeah, I know, I put it up for sale yesterday, but I bought it as...

Pulled a 101 out of storage and cleaned it up in prep for painting, only to discover that it’s probably one of the nicest of the four that I own! I’m seriously reconsidering which one of my 4 children I am going to keep. :)

Umm, ok.

There are dreams, and there are goals. The difference? People rarely work towards a dream. (What do I know, I just made that up. Semantics, I guess) I want to go from TX to AK in the 923A2. This is 2-3 years out, for many reasons, but half the fun is planning. I have put 6,000 miles on this...
