22 3500 Bds to Carli build and Trip to the Arctic.

Admins - If this is in the wrong section, let me know and I'll delete it.

So had the truck since August 23, it originally had a 4” bds kit with some wide sticking out wheels, wasn’t the best ride or look for me personally.




Switched it out for the Carli 3.25 pintop kit for the air assist trucks + the full progressive leaf springs.
Got rid of the stupid wheels. Got some nice Kmc's but they still stuck out and didn’t balance well. Finally got some Aev saltas in Onyx Black ( gun metal grey).

About to start a 18 day 8500/9000km round trip to Tuktoyaktuk N.W.T in the Arctic. Helping my little sister move back to the lower mainland B.C after teaching up there for a few years.




I’ve only got a bed rack and Ikamper skycamp 2.0 on the back so not much Weight, we’re planning on camping along the way for the most part, and we’ll get a hotel in Whitehorse and Dawson city just to relax and see a bit more.



Now to pack the truck and double check I've got everything! I'll add updates along the way up and way back of the adventure.

Looks Good. That will be a Nice Trip. What Fender Flares are those. They look Larger than the Factory ones for sure.

Nice rig. A great adventure awaits! Keep us posted on that. I'd be interested in keeping tabs as I plan on doing something similar in the future.

Wow! I didn't even know you could drive that far north. Are they paved roads up there? Keep us posted and share lots of pics

Surely you’ve seen ice road truckers?
Just a thought………

Hell no. Rather watch paint dry.

I have not. But I doubt there will be any ice roads in late June and early July. That leaves the choice as a paved road or dirt road. I took the opportunity to look it up, no ice roads. Mostly paved and about 700 KM of dirt roads.
