Home Sweet Home
I first want to thank Mark and the Alaska Cruiser Crew for putting on and putting up with a bunch of lower 48er's, esp this cruiser head nubbie like myself. It was truly the adventure of a life time. I not only challenged myself and my SAS 100. We both survived what Alaska dealt. It was the 4000 plus miles return home that kick mine and my rigs butt. After the KM2 getting a sidewall tear just outside of ft Nelson, the starter finally dying in my drive way, the HID headlights going dead, the Double Cardan rear drive shaft going bad in Buffalo WY. But like any good landcruiser it got me home safe and sound.

My daughter Erin and her husband Brandon drove this SOA '62 to haul fuel for the Trekkers. The extra height of the SOA w/36s is nice in the Endless Beaver Pond.

I just made it home.
I broken Brake Pad set and 3 flat tires on the trailer on top of 32 hour drive from Tok to Fort St John and then another 48 hours from Fort St John to Home. I really need to get a passenger.

WOW... I hope you get over your T B take a nap and then take the lady out for dinner.
Glad you made it back! You must be burnt, with all the driving and flats and all. You are "THE MAN"!
I ended up caravanning with Mark, Charla, and Curtis back to ANC due to a badly leaking front main seal that sprouted after I washed all the mud off. And 2.5 days for the part to arrive in Tok. So rather than risk major failure in the middle of nowhere we dropped the cruiser off at a shipper and flew home on a red eye. The cruiser is still in ANC and will be on a boat to Tacoma tomorrow, and back home in 4 weeks dohh.
Ironically, after putting a can of STP snake oil stop leak gunk in the crank I did not have to add any oil for the 300 miles to ANC. It was leaving big ol puddles before the snake oil stuff. Oh well.
The Alaskan Mosquito.
Yes, that is an American Dime for size reference.

Mosquito Eater.
They need more of them.

The funny thing is I have more mosquito bites now that I am back in Texas then I had while I was in Alaska!

Wow!! I can't believe the submarines the Alaska crew disguised as 60 series trucks! Those are some intense river crossings.

As Agent Orange Climbed out of the middle of this channel and back into the shallow water at the edge, a cry went out over the radio... "My A** is wet!" The Rat claims it was Rockdoc's soprano that we heard. He says she was being a girl about things. 
Ratpuke is hand down the best all around driver I have ever wheeled with.
Agent Orange had no problems going where the other rigs went even though Agent Orange is a "Low Rider".
Note:
Agent Orange is a pretty extreme build HJ43 on 35"s that anybody in the lower 48 would be very happy to own and wheel. It just looks small in the pics.
LOL
