I already have the "Prepare to Self-Rescue" shirt.
And its just best to assume that every Alaskan you see is armed to the teeth at all times.
Ever seen a Catholic priest in a bar with a blue woolen shirt and a 10mm on his hip and it not be a part of a lame joke? I have. 11am, March 13th...
Yep. If I'm getting there, I have to survive being there. If I survive being there, I have to return home.
Planning. Planning. Planning. Execution.
There is no hope on the trail. Only preparedness, will to accomplish, and hopefully a good set of the correct tools.
Highly true. I bought my 24 JTM on 25 Jan, 2025. After nearly a year sitting on the lot, I got it for nearly 16K off MSRP. Add to that I requested full change of hoses, belts, tires and everything degradable, I got a hell of a deal on the EXACT Gladiator I wanted, with only 20 miles on it. I was...
I have a 24 JTM, not a X, so no power seats.
I am looking for any options for good lumbar support on the passenger side for long trips. I have looked in other places for the option of purchasing the Mojave X power seats, but its a no go due to the sheer cost of shipping them to Alaska. Nearly...

Second question: you said that the ladders attach to the pinch weld. Does that mean that my Rubi rails that came on my Mojave will interfere with the attachment points of the ladder?
In the time it took me to drive from my post back here to my camp, someone already swooped in and bought it. Crap.
Oh, well. Another $2500 I can add onto my big trip from Anchorage to Sequoia NP next year.
Thank you all for your help.
Thank you, all. I'll mull it over and see what I can do. At work and have to head back to camp soon. Will be back around 6pm AKST, if anyone else has thoughts and opinions.
But my basic worries for the vehicle is what to look for to make it reliable first. I'll tinker with awesomeness later...
So, I had no idea where to put this, but I have questions for the owners/users of older models of Jeep. I have found a 1986 Grand Wagoneer nearby for $2500, with 132K miles on it. Original 5.2 AMC 360 in it.
