I just wanted to share a little bit. I lifted my 4.0L Eagle and almost immediately loaded it on a trailer and drove to Alaska. I have been working out the bugs while using it as a daily driver and my car for making sales calls for work. I have mainly stayed in Anchorage. In the last month I ventured out to Eagle River (about 15 miles), Peters Creek (about 25 miles), and Girdwood (about 40 miles). I know not major trips but I have ventured out of town in my prototype vehicle. I'm hoping by Spring I will have some of the other issues straightened out to make a major road trip... baby steps :)
i saw lots of eagles when i lived in alaska several years ago. great place for them...mind the rust!
