Ladies and Gents,The official countdown has started. There are only seven days left before the trip. Today was another productive day. With dedicated help of my brother Milan, I installed locking mechanism, axe/shovel carrier and spare tire carrier for Yakima Mega-Warrior basket. We mounted 2nd spare tire and I tied down 3x5 gallon Scepter Gas Cans as well as medium size shovel. Only things left to install are Hi-Lift jack carrier (next week when the jack arrives), Thule Escape II cargo box (sorry Yakima, but your local selection of cargo bags was non-existent) when I start packing and Cobra CB radio with antenna.
Later on in the afternoon I test drove the load to the local hardware store to grab some locks and lockable chains. Once I had everything securely locked down I took the FJ Cruiser for a spin on the highway to make sure I don't have any flying objects in my tracks. At 70 mph car felt comfortable and noise level none different.
And I finally got to publish online version of what I came to call Arcticathon Inventory 2007, partial list of items I will take with me on this trip.
