ck5 2012 eureka alaska trip dates

Well, I am officially calling it -- I'm in for 2012! Eureka or bust!

I've only got a few modifications in mind for the trip... Swing out tire carrier / gas can carrier is going on a new rear bumper, rat pack for carrying tools that flips over the rear seat to make a level bedding area in the rear, box rail tool box and a cargo carrier on the roof for clothing / bedding & food.

Oh, and tractor tires. Definitely running tractor tires.... I've tracked down a set of 11.2-16 Dyna Torque II Goodyears up here for it. They measure out to about 35", which is roughly 1" shorter than the tires I've got right now. Measure 11.2" wide. Hydro assist, front track bar and better rear suspension will be done long before the trip as well.


:D Awesome!!!!



I'll see where I am closer to the trip date. Still need lift, axles, lockers, winch and suspension seats.


Keep us updated, Trying to keep the rig count under 10 , right now were at 7 and there may be another 2 rigs from our club going. PM SledheadAK as he is the one who makes final calls this trip is his baby its pretty much the only wheeling he does for the year.
 
I would like to make this trip. Its a bit of a drive but worth it to me. You guys have your regulars but if there is room for my rig, I'd like to stake my claim...so to speak. :)
 
Sounds like a well built rig, The pitbulls didn't fare to well up here maybe you'll have better luck since you have a 454 and can spin them up easier then a 6.2 TH400
 
My sig was outdated. I need to update my build thread too. I have been neglecting it. I will add some tomorrow when I am on my PC.
 
They do pretty good in the mud we have around here. I don't do a lot of mudding but so far so good.

it seems like its just an AK thing cuz everybody else says rockers do awesome in the mud.

Our buddy that has them , hates them and can't get rid off them cuz after everybody seen how they balled up nobody wants them .


But like I said with a 454 you may have more "snap" to clean them out
 
Clay is the worst but if I get these spinning fast enough sometimes the clay will clear. Clay is about the only thing that has mucked me up so far. Yes, I have tow points and I plan on having a winch by then. Sounds like fun.

I have seating room available. My wife may come but I doubt it. She can't get that much time off at once. She may fly up for the trip but again, I doubt it. If she doesn't come I will have the passenger seat and will have the rear seat installed. I think I am going to get a roof rack for some extra storage room. Meh, who knows.
 
Well If you can make it its a fun trip, do you have a Tow rig and trailer to haul it up here with?
 
So

SledheadAK ---Mike,Sherri,Shawn,and Sage -----Jimmy or Intercrew
Dokwatson----Aubry,Chami,and Claire-----CUCV 1008
Arcticmania---- Mike, Zamia, Mikey,Keegan, and the Baby------- Burb or XJ
Yellowk20-----Gus, and Patty--------Burb
Danny-----Danny,Wife,and 2 kids?? ---------Crew Cab
Russsel-----Russel-------Tahoe
Plyr2k-------Adam-------Blazer

Plus riders

Blazinzuk-----Eric,Kristie,Bailey,and Sawyer-----Possibly driving Intercrew
Rustyk10

so thats 9 "possible" rigs and we might have a couple of our local club members want to run as well .

we still might have a few open seats for those that want to ride/take pictures/pull winch cable
 
I have seating room available. My wife may come but I doubt it. She can't get that much time off at once. She may fly up for the trip but again, I doubt it.

If she does fly up man we should try and get her close to the same time as my wife and kids, that one only one person has to drive to Anchorage from Wasilla to pick up folks.

Thats my plan for right now though fly my wife and kids up to Anchorage and meet them in Eureka where Russ and I will be waiting for you guys
 
I know Patty won't mind running to ANC ( gives her an excuse to go) to pick people up at the airport.
