Snapped a photo yesterday of my work truck. It's the reason I bought my truck.



A random picture I took yesterday of a red fox watching some caribou

I heard most companies were on fuel restriction, some saying no running of gasoline equipment? Assuming you're on the slope by the looks of things.

We have a 10 gallon a day limit. They said it will be like this for the "foreseeable future". The Sag river is flowing 22x its normal rate for this time of the year.

"•BP has secured daily flights using a DC 6 equipped with a bladder tank for delivery of approximately ~4,800 gallons of gasoline per day. This roughly matches field gasoline usage with the current conservation methods in place. This will continue as long as regular scheduled flights arrive daily.
•Gasoline is currently the critical commodity for Prudhoe Bay. At normal usage we have approximately three days of gasoline in reserve.
•With strict rationing we can limit this supply to last approximately 15 days should flights be interrupted. Our goal is to support stable operations with your help conserving fuel.
o“TOP OFF TOP HALF”: With TL approval we ask that you top off your vehicle gasoline tank and then manage your vehicle in the top half of your tank with 10 gallon refills.
•BP is working with the state to request a ULSD variance allowing the use of Arctic Grade Diesel if necessary. There is no approved variance at this time.
•BP has secured Northern Air Cargo’s 737 this Tuesday and working regular flights thereafter for delivery of approximately 25,000lbs of food supplies per flight.
•BP is currently working with Peak Rolligon’s to travel the haul road to retrieve supplies that are unable to be flown. This is a coordinated effort between multiple companies. Our thanks goes out to Peak, Alaska West, and ConocoPhillips to name a few.
•SAE Seismic is also working on a plan in coordination with the IMT to retrieve fuel to conclude their operations in the Sag river delta.
•The IMT is working daily over flights of the Sag river to monitor river, road, and land link conditions. (some pictures attached)
•Logistics, communication, and information sharing is being coordinated between the major slope producers, Alyeska, and DOT.
•DOT continues to work clearing the highway and rerouting the river. This is an extremely challenging activity given the conditions and limitations."

I have a uncle running rolligon for Peak, he was supposed to be home 2 weeks ago but will be getting a lot of OT.

Some of the trucks we've completed for CPA have been sitting in Fairbanks for weeks. Going to be interesting to see how this all falls out when it starts warming up. I was supposed to go up in May or so, but i'm just making sales calls so it's very fluid w/no set dates...still gotta get paperwork to get on lease anyhow.

I think you were behind me today in Wasilla? I noticed retrofitted headlights on a white crew cab with white LED parking lights, probably around 2:45pm ish. If it was you the lights looked great!

Small updates:

Got a cluster out of a XLT. My truck has 17,127 so I have another month or so before I can instal it


Also ordered the steering wheel controls to go with it.

Other than that it's pretty much the same.

Cough* cough* I'm still looking for some white door handles if anyone has any for sale.

Cool! Will it be plug and play for all the nice extras like off road mode?
