nah,
that's all overkill.
all you need is a block heater and auto-start

How warm does it get up there in the summer?

joe231 · 02-22-2011, 09:50 PM

75-85* around anchorage, and some times @100* in Fairbanks.

Well that's not bad. I didn't think it got that warm up there. The summertime is a possibility. I'm 100% sure I won't see you during the winter time.

joe231 · 02-23-2011, 09:03 PM

come on up!!

**scotts62** · 02-24-2011, 12:02 AM

T has been wanting to go there for a long time, have to fly up sometime just as long as i dont get one of those planes and pilots that deliver to Alaska that is on the discovery channel

joe231 · 02-24-2011, 12:28 AM

Dude, those small planes are FUN!!

I was into it until the very last sentence-then I was disgusted........

joe231 · 02-25-2011, 11:06 PM

Yeah
Me too!
The first time I watched it I had the volume down.
I just watched again with sound.

RandyP · 02-26-2011, 12:10 AM

I have no sound at work, hope it wasn't something bad.

joe231 · 02-26-2011, 12:55 AM

It's just greenie-speak about pedal power
Damn hippies

joe231 · 03-09-2011, 12:11 AM

Update!

I swapped transmissions, reverse went out in mine, so I put the one in from the parts 'Burb that Scott and I split. It is a nice smooth trans with a fully functioning reverse.

Got my new rear tires on. 275/60/17 Falken S/TZ-04

I have one of my new front tires and they had to order one. It should be in next Tuesday. 245/65/17 Falken S/TZ-04

Got my 'Burb tank finalized.

Installed my Early Classics hidden hitch. I got it from Carolina Classics

Got it all back together tonight, I'll get some daylight pics tomorrow.
I really like the new rear tires. They are meaty and look mean.

I like the striped drive shaft!

mcbassin · 03-09-2011, 08:30 AM

Nice work Joe! Glad to hear you got new tires. You may need more traction in the great white north. Thanks for sharing the pics. Dig the driveshaft too.

dougminton · 03-09-2011, 08:42 AM

looks good, I like the 17s.

Thanks Mike!!
Yeah, I'll need all the traction I can get.
I got my eye on a '91 4x4 1 ton crew cab that's for sale in Alaska.

Me too, I wanted 20's before I got these....now I think 17's are perfect for this truck.

I agree the 275's look sweet on there. Can't wait to see the bed back on there.

RandyP · 03-09-2011, 11:14 AM

There was a sweet looking 88 or 89 Dually Crew 4x4 on CL in Tulsa yesterday. Was a very nice looking truck, but they wanted like 9k for it. I don't recall if it was diesel or not though. I'd be looking for a big diesel if I moved to BFE Alaska.
