Looks like fun times! I've only backpacked up there & hope to take a vehicle someday.
How's the trip with the trailer? We have a similarly sized trailer (Manley) and I'm wondering about your experience. Cheers :)

Very cool trip! I'd be interested in hearing about your trailer, also. I will be building a M101 for my FJ55 and wondering about long distance pulling. You must be having a great time.

Good travels,

Did the Dalton Highway (Haul Road) today, just ran up to the Arctic Circle and back to Fairbanks.

we watch a big haul go by, found out it was a boat, used by the oil companies. The hauler escort said they haul 8 a year up and back to Valdez, they weight of boat & trailer is around 400K. The load is so heavy that helper trucks are needed.
