Well, it have been awhile since I have posted here. Been a busy summer, but it is finally over lol! Thought I would share a couple of pictures from some of the jobs we did this summer. Since, I know a couple of people on here enjoy seeing some of a different place.

This set was from Merrill Pass. Which is Alaskas second deadly pass in Alaska. We were there drilling holes on top of a mountain, putting in a weather camera/ Station. For the small plans to be able to check out the pass, before they fly it.

The job site was at 4500ft elevation, and the came was 1000ft below. Had bears, and all kinds of animals passing through the camp at night. Anyways, here are some pictures.

The first two are off the mountain. We did the holes just to the right of the peak. In the saddle part. The second one is looking down from the job site. And the last one is of the camp.

Couple more from the top at the site. The helicopter was the ride to and from the job. Sometimes it got a little wild with the fog

I wonder how well the Jeep would go at this elevation

Might need a Kompressor (if you say it with a Schwarzenegger type accept it sounds better, I know its a supercharger ) to get enough air in with the juice to keep it running sweet.

Now there is a justification for a supercharger kit if your wife needs one . . .

I have been up here for 18 years and counting. And I am starting to get a little sick of the cold. Summer is short (3 months if you are lucky) this summer it rained a lot. I only had 2 days where I took the top off the Wrangler. Other than that it stayed on. Trying to figure out how I can take a vacation to Australia

Here I am thinking that I'll be the only Alaskan on an Australian 4x4 webpage, and then I find out I'm not. I guess it's all been done before.
How's the TJ coming?

Hehehe, yeah I found this page a bit ago. Good tech on here, and friendly people.

The Tj is coming along I think I got it in the shop today, and started tearing it down.
