Eventually... On the highway back to Palmer, AK

We used almost all of ours, but we didn't have the nifty aux tank.

So Bill drove your 80 up there? That's superb.

We transferred the last 10 gallons or so from our aux tank on the way out on the last day. Didn't have to but thought it was best to lighten the load for the trip home on the trailer.

Yes, he and Dominic (well, part of the way) drove it up there, caravanning with Ryan and Daryl (Carlos) the whole way. It was good to have a couple of trucks running together. On the way back a friend of Bill's flew up and rode back. It's about a 5 day drive so having a co-driver is really needed.

And for the record, it's not just MY truck. Bill put in the time and Bossman and I put in the parts and accessories. It's a true partnership and it was a pleasure to present Bossman with a key while in Alaska. Three people have keys, and three people have a truck.

He did great! On 33x12.5 Swampers! We do have GoPro vid of him almost losing it. Water was up on the windshield and he did a fantastic job of saving it. We thought he was gone!

Cool!! I saw the picture and the smaller tires and was amazed at doing that trip with anything less than a 37.

[Bossman]

Yes we did!
