Since the fall of Alaska4x4Network I was hoping to recover some of my old threads to no avail so I am starting this from scratch by digging up old files with varying success. So this will be a bit rough to start and hopefully improve as I find more stuff. I also hope I can explain my rational for some of the choices I have made or not made along the way. And with 20 years of ownership coming up I figured it would not hurt to chronicle it.
So in March of 2001 I became the owner of a 1998 SE for my daily driver and to build as a mild woods/beach rig while living in the Portland OR area. Two weeks after the purchase saw the company I worked for downsized and I was given the boot. Fast forward to the first week of May and my wife, myself and the Tj were on our way to Alaska for a new job.
At this point it had 30x9.5 BFG ATs, a Warrior products hitch bumper with hitch haul, and a Warn M8000 on a Warn mount with grill tube. This pic was in the Yukon taking a break and finding I just killed the rear shock in the construction just before.
