    Latest Off-Road Video - Purinton Creek Trail - Alaska

    Yes yes yes. On the to do list. I was a bad owner and didn’t drain from the last one either.

    Latest Off-Road Video - Purinton Creek Trail - Alaska

    We had a blast last weekend trying this new-to-me trail that starts about mile 92 on the Old Glenn Hwy. This was a combo of hills, heavy deep mud, rocks, and water crossing. Kind of had it all. We made it through the heavy mud no problem. Really just rolled through it were others struggled...

    Rock Sliders / Rocker Guards.....

    My latest adventure into the Alaskan wilderness beat the crap out of the rockers. I actually peeled back the reinforcement at the bottom of the B pillar to rocker on the passenger side - and dented the driver side badly. I see Predator, Midwest Military Equip, and more offer guards. These are...

    Humvee vs. Alaska Mud

    It was a blast. I just didn’t think I’d have such a rough time on those hills. The Truxxus (interco super swampers) just wouldn’t bite. I could have aired down some more. That’s the one thing I didn’t try. That old Toyota ran circles around me with his 38” Mickey Thompson BAJA tires.

    Humvee vs. Alaska Mud

    Last weekend we finally attempted one of the more difficult and dangerous trails in the area. I ran down to 10 psi and brake modulated….but at one point traction became impossible.

    M998 Turbo Upgrade - BMI Commander™ 6500 Turbo Kit

    So…what about the performance? I was ready to buy one of these kits but went for the aluminum doors first and I have issues with the exhaust pipe mod hanging under the frame. I go way off road in remote places and am not sure how that will work as I’ve bottomed mine out several times. I...

    Has anyone attempted to make their own hard doors?

    They can order anything. There is also Stevens Glass in Wasilla that can probably custom make something

    LA Humvee Insurance

    Progressive commercial will do it for full coverage. State Farm will only do liability insurance now on those. USAA will refer you to progressive

    camping tent in bed? Two man configuration

    yes. And manimals. The manimals are the worst. They are often armed and jacked up on drugs. I like the idea of hard sides for the animals or manimals but either way camping or overnighting around here can be dangerous. Winter camping is ideal to avoid both. But a camper with heat or tent...

    camping tent in bed? Two man configuration

    Part 1 done. Got the camper. part 2 is to pick up the trailer tomorrow (it is 101not the 1101 but I think it will work - not many options in Alaska)

    camping tent in bed? Two man configuration

    Well…I found one 10 miles from my house. A 1993 M101 with the steel body. New tires and good shape. We made a deal but it is buried in snow. I have to put my pintle hitch back on to get it. The plan is to set the camper in it. Don’t know how it will tow or balance but it is a start. Got...

    How quickly and easily does the ambulance roof come off?

    camping tent in bed? Two man configuration

    Not a bad idea. There a few once in a while that show up for sale around here.

    camping tent in bed? Two man configuration

    I am reviving an old thread. Now that I’m in Alaska the value of a camper in my truck went way up. But I don’t want to spend big bucks on something I’ll drag against tree limbs and beat up. I found a cheap slide in old truck camper and may have it here soon. Will be a while till it is...

    Limb Risers?????

    That is awesome. Mine will get loose over a few hours on the trail even with it direct bolted. I keep a multi tool 10mm and can take out the slack or loosen to open the hood. If you scroll through some of my recent trail videos you will see at least the left cable bouncing bad towards the...

    Yes. We use a GMRS radio. I carry two with me in case mine goes out or someone needs one. You can hear it in the background under the music in a few clips in this video.

    Power X Doors - Which are the best?

    The photos look pretty amazing though. I wish the aluminum ones I just bought had inner door trim.
