Default Would you drive your JK to Alaska

Hey! Would you drive your JK from North Carolina to Alaska? I was always planning to do this trip on a motorcycle, but then realized I probably cant hack the pain

Since I am seriously considering selling the motorcycle (and the car) to get a JK, I am thinking, I would still like to do the trip, but topless rather than cageless.

Any thoughts?

In a heart beat.

Drove from NJ to Washington state last year in a 2002 Dodge Neon and enjoyed every minute of it.

If I had the cash to do it I'd be in my JK and on my way to Alaska tomorrow.

Not me. I'd take a plane. 4 hours is my limit.

When I think about it, it has a few pluses and minuses to the motorcycle. I think its better than just driving a sedan because you can go topless! And when you get off the beaten path, you can explore!

Yep, and I'd leave as much extra time on the schedule as I could. All those trails...
