What did you do to the expy today

Drove along the North Fork of the Flathead River to the Canadian border. Made sure didn't set foot in Canada because Border Patrol was watching me like a hawk.

Washed the Beast when I got back

Had an incident on the road with a Turkey who wanted to fight. Was able to talk my way out if it. Invited him over for Thanksgiving. I could have beat the stuffing out of him if I wanted to but its been a long day.

Looks awesome.

Can't be worse than driving this road.

Bought New timing chain set, water pump, motor oil and filter.

Stopped by Mosquito Creek
On the way to the Icefields Parkway


I’m almost exactly 1/2 way to Fairbanks!

Don't see signs like this every day


Saw a very large Grizzly on the Forest Trunk Highway

I blew TWO tires today and sat next to my Expedition for 5 hours hanging out with a Park Ranger while we waited for the flatbed. She said it was the first time she's ever seen someone blow 2 tires.

Where was that, how did that happen? Two at same time (obviously I guess, maybe not)? Wtf? Did you have a tire repair kit and a pump? Would love to know the details. AT tires? LT tires? Front back? Were they repairable? Any pictures (of the Ranger)? Did AAA pay for it, or insurance? The Ranger stayed with you the whole time?

that blows!!

That's a real hazard in Wrangell St Elias due to road on old railroad track. They advise bringing 2 spares.

Was she cute?

Ran over a 4x6 at 55 MPH that was sitting in the middle of the throughway, caught a little air. VW behind me caught air as well. Everyone behind was hopping over that thing.

DWGNRA in NJ. I hit a pothole I have probably driven over hundreds of times, but I guess it has gotten worse and/or I hit it just right. It obliterated both passenger side tires, so there was no repairing them. I put the spare on the front just to spare that wheel the stress of the trip onto the flatbed with the weight of the engine bearing down on it. Both wheels survived with only cosmetic damage. We have AAA Plus so they covered the tow, but the tire cost came out of my pocket. They were about halfway through their rated treadwear warranty, so I got some prorate credit, but it still ran me $255 installed for the pair. They were Michelin LTX tires.

No pics of the (attractive) Ranger and yes, she stayed there the entire time.
