Branching out
« on: December 27, 2011, 02:04:55 AM »
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 :)
