Holy cow... The welcome here is pretty impressive lol To cool.. If you guys dont mind, i'll probably start a little build thread in the Jeep TJ section, as I get the TJ further along.

Couple more pics.







Those were taken from a trip back from a village, out of a 207 airplane.

OK, bed time here, I'll see what I can round up tomorrow

This is what we call a "blow" on the Arctic slope. Since the slope is a arctic desert, when the winds gets up, it can blow the snow around like a sand strom. Except the wind chill can hit blistering temps.

Welcome mate. Don't think we have many/any Alaskans on here.
Madizell is the only other Alaskan I know of on AJOR. He is in Wasilla I think.

Greg gets on here? I have known Greg for a bit. He lives about 15 miles or so away from me. He competed twice in the OBC. He is one of the reasons I am addicted to the Outback Challenge

I know Curtis also. He has my rear Dana 60 right now setting up the ARB, and gears for the TJ.

Here is a fall shot in Alaska.
