Hey all, I wrote about this before but it's really happening now. I'm flying to Alaska, buying a (rare) CJ-8 and driving it back to NC with my brother. Rockcrawler.com is putting up my daily trip reports and photos and www.4wd.com is sponsoring the trip and they're sending a ton of parts to AK for me to use. Keep me in your mechancial prayers and wish me luck!

A friend of mine has a highly modified CJ-8 with a big block , headers , sidepipes , HUGE off-road tires & loads of shiney stuff . What a monster ! He ran it at the drags (on a dare) and it ran high 14's with the big tires on it  !! Then there's my boss ... he's got a bone stock (& a bit rusty) CJ-8 that he uses for plowing snow & stuff like that . I always kinda liked Jeeps . ***EDIT** - and yes , you ARE insane !!

But I think I have an even more insane idea: Next year me and 4-5 of my friends are going to fly up to Canada (probably Winnipeg or something), buy a conversion van of some sorts, and try to get as far south on land as we can. Some have projected that we could make it to Panama, but I have no clue. We'll see. That's preliminary, of course.
