Alaska Daily Drivers: Hydro Blue 80A and Bright White JTR

[Turnswrench]

If you have been around the thread a while, I mentioned we were working with TrailToyz again. Trailtoyz is our local 4x4 shop here in the Matsu valley of Alaska for those that may be new.

After a 4-5 week wait, which was well worth it, our Rock Hard 4x4 rock rails came in and are now installed. These things are legit:

We also got the propane tank mounted via Powertank:

Happy Easter weekend.

This morning the hood locks went on. A little added security:

I see that you have the license plate on the front.
Did you know that Alaska removed the requirement for two plates this year?

Funny that you mentioned it, I didn't hear that until yesterday at the 4x4 shop ? So thank you for saying something as I likely wouldn't have known.

I will need to decide if I just want to keep it as a cover for the winch hawse or not.

The wife is heading out of town for work this week. The Jeep made the snowy drive from the valley to the ANC airport and back no problem.

The dogs and I did get stopped a couple times for moose. I ended up needing to back up about a thousand feet as a cow and calf came into the road. Sorry no moose pics today, I had Hudson, our smaller dog in my arms. But here's a pic at the airport instead ? you can see Hudson riding shotgun:

Solo missions while the wife is out of town. Thankfully these weren't too bad ?

With such an investment, having locks on the roof top tent made sense to us:

The lighting package is also complete... For now. These Flex Era 4s from KC HiLites hit exactly where we need for solid coverage:

Heck of a setup you have! I'm definitely down for an excuse to get this thing out

We live in Palmer, Alaska. About an hour north of Anchorage.

How does that roof-top ladder work, and what is it for?
