Nice truck. If you lived in SquareBanks (Fairbanks) you froze your AZZ off in the winter. Hell it was -49 there earlier this year. Too cold for this born and raised Alaskan. I'll stay in the Railbelt and stay warm. lol
For the guy about Alaskan roads. We quit using salt a number of years ago in the main roads and corridors. I'm sure in the outlying areas there is some salt used but nothing like before.. They use a liquid now that is more cost efficient and melts the ice quicker. It's so much better for our rides than before. We had the rust out problems for years, but since they quit with the salt dumping, we have vehicles that are still in one piece 20 years later. Before it was 5-8 years and rust was everywhere. Glad they changed.
