Lots of fun in Alaska huh? You just had to climb your personal Matterhorn that you saved from winter, and then get stuck in it!?!? 
I thought that was a 4X4.
If that happens again you might have to get a Subaru for a DD.

Isuzu makes very good cars and trucks. Just be careful not to get sucked over to the "DARK SIDE", feel the Force and use it. You do know that Isuzu and GM/Chev are partners. right?

oh im gonna treat it like a street walker and toss it to the curb when i get done with it. im not gonna get no way attached. i was thinking about throwing a 460 and solid axles i have in it, but then it would defeat the purpose of having a 4 banger isuzu

Wow amazing thread. I'm military and everyone I talk to who has been stationed in Alaska says it was absolutely amazing. Cold as all hell, but amazing. I suppose you guys are just used to the cold and don't even think about it anymore.
Ever meet any of the Deadliest Catch guys?
Nice collection of trucks btw, you don't seem to be lacking in that dept lol.
