That sounds like an awesome trip! I've always wanted to drive up to Alaska, but It would be over 6k one way from southern California. I did do a trip from So Cal to Canada up the Pacific Coast Highway with my family when I was young (we took our 92 Ford Arrowstar minivan) that I wouldn't mind doing again in my Expy. How many miles was your trip?

What's a road trip without a little carnage? Haha. That sounds like it was a blast! I'll have to take my baby on a roadtrip like that once I get back from deployment! How many miles does your truck have on it now?

A trip with 4 oil changes must have been a tough trip. This thread is not about tires but still, can I know the brand of tires you used for that kind of snow?

 

[tritonman5.4]

at the time we were using Goodyear fortera triple treds those things were bad ass bro lol

 

[nvycrmn]
