My H42 also shifted easier between gears. With the gearing closer together, it just made in-city driving much easier. I'm always fighting a bit with the gearing on the H55 when driving a lot in-city. I'll probably keep the H42 in my next land cruiser. But I do really like traveling long...
The last time I looked into the ferries, it was significantly more to ferry all the way to Anchorage. And the scheduling was very limited. It was much cheaper (and more interesting imo) to ferry to and drive out of Haines or Skagway.
Hey, I'm just getting back in to working on my land cruisers. What is the best way to look up parts numbers now?

I really enjoyed the trek in 2010. It was great having a day to go fishing, a day up on the glacier, a half-day at the gold mine, and the last day cooking fish on the campfire.

1. Make sure the battery is in good enough condition to hold a charge.
2. Check that the alternator is working.
3. Then start...
I completely disagree.
I think political rants should be in chat. I am here to work on my land cruiser, not to have to deal with other people's political views.
