The correct answer. A low miles Suzuki Samurai / Geo Tracker. These things have a cult following up here for a reason. Great mileage, can be fixed in a field with basic tools, decent 4x4 and a 5sp manual. Also the fact that when you hit black ice and get stuck in a snow drift, you can easly push it out OR dig it out,…

weird. Same specs for the my CJ’s 4.2 straight 6.

I see you are an AMC lover as well. What are you rocking? 

Obviously buscemi 

come join us up here in Alaska instead

its all by degrees. I think that if you are doing a couple miles away from a road or stop, just some basic go gear and hiking equipment is fine. If you are doing 30+ miles, and its rough terrain.... Well, should have a bud in another vehicle just in case

your poors are hating you

RHD does wonders

Actually on Alaska, that is FALSE. Our Boroughs and Municipalities(sizes of some states) are given autonomy to raise taxes according to their charter. Anchorage just increased the gas tax by 0.10 per gallon and other parts of the state have been doing it on and off for years(goes up and down). Anytime there is a large …

In my 81 Scrambler i ended up doing a partial change. I took all the guts (rotor, cap, housing, little thingy mabob off side - i think the vacuum) off a ford distributor along with a hotter coil, installed it on the older “stock?” and plunked it back in the engine. Timing took a little adjustment but that was it.…

What does the bed(dimension wise) seem to realistically fit? Can you get a base model that is a “Tradesmen” edition that doesn’t have all the accessories they packed in it(rechargeable vacuum, flash light ). Does it have stiffened rear suspension or does it wallow like a normal wrangler in the corners? And, if it is…

Question for ya, would replacing lifters without replacing rockers and rods be an issue? I ask because i have a loose rocker on my 258 and if replacing just the lifter and one set of rockers is possible........ Ive been advised do the cam to OR ELSE. But you seem more intuned with the Rust God of CJ and i could use…

Neat, ya i dont think this one qualifies as a postal anymore. Theres also probably about 5 in palmer that are privately owned and still drive around on a semi regular basis

Which post office? Im in Central and have a few of em myself

I thought they retired them all? Is this up in the bush? I think McGrath still has one...

Come get them. Me and my bud have a problem. Save us from ourselves! I think we have 5 between us, and maybe three that are restorable, one that i drive daily.

Should come to Alaska and drive back down one of our postals. Who doesnt want a RHD CJ8 Panel truck

Or rock the 999 like i do. Who needs Over drive when you have lockup!!!

Fight ME!

My 1997 Ford Ranger i got with 160k on the clock for 1500 in 2009. Drove it fine for 7 years and than sold it to a friend of mine for 1000 with 270k on the clock. He is still driving. The engine at this point could use a rebuild and burns a little oil, but between me and him i think we both put in maybe 800 in parts…
