Fairbanks to Cantwell Mini Alaska Road Trip

I clicked on this thread as I recognized the wheels from the homepage preview. They look great! I have three different sets of oem 5th Gen 4runner wheels in my attic as we speak.

Spent some time around redneck heaven there myself, still got some friends in the area.

Pretty sure you will see a video of Timmy there shortly. He is doing y-tube full time now I believe, left the glamours life of driving instructor. Definitely one of the most recognizable rigs in the country.

Thanks! You got me beat, I only had two well heck, hopefully you can put 'em to use! My only annoyance with running them is I didn't bother with TPMS, and the Bronco likes to remind me EVERY time I start the car (have to clear the message in the gauge cluster by hitting OK). Maybe there's a way to mask that message using FORSCAN, though I haven't checked.

Alaska is by far my favorite state to visit, and Fairbanks is so far my favorite place out there. If I ever decide to move out of CA, it'll def be AK with my Bronco. I've only been in winter/spring, but I love the cold so it worked out perfectly for me.
Meanwhile, I am in complete envy.
Awesome pics!

Here- also- because of the wheels

We drove from Fairbanks to Cantwell over the weekend to stay in a yurt and poke around the area.

one of the doggies got excited and loaded herself up early. color match was unintentional but not unexpected (I have a problem with getting too much yellow gear)

Put on my Shark Thule and tried out my Kuat Pivot for the first time. Put on a basket with yeti food insulating vessels… before moving to Alaska I never used coolers to keep things warm.. haha. The sunrise in Fairbanks made things even more orange than normal…

roads were pretty icy, but I’m accustomed to that after a few months in Fairbanks…

a few hours later, got the bronco to the yurt. Made it in time for some pretty sunset views.

The pups liked the spot by the Toyo stove

Night descended…

next day we drove around some. We went up the road a few miles to where the Denali highway was closed. I saw Truck House Life’s truck there, and was sad he wasn’t around. It would have been cool to meet the guy. I watched a lot of his vids when I was thinking of moving up to Alaska. He looked to be rocking a pretty sick snow machine trailer setup. There was also a pretty crazy jeep parked in the area.

We also visited an igloo on the side of the highway. It had an interesting story to it, and I’d been wanting to take a closer look.

now back to Fairbanks. I’m looking out for moose and will post a pic here if I see one

That looks really cool and cold at the same time.

This Bronco is the first non Toyota product in my driveway in almost 10 years. Got rid of our 5th Gen 4runner we owned since new for it. I still have an 87 4runner, an 80 series Land Cruiser, and a Lexus LS. I keep collecting the wheels as I can't decide what wheel I want to keep on my 87
