    Alaska Cruiser Trek 2008

    Morning Gent's I think it would be a good idea to have the phone number for 40 mile air and the Tok NAPA just in case. It's not that long a run and a couple of trucks could run out in and emergency but AIR SUPPORT is always a good thing! I'm wishing I wouldn't have signed the contract for...
