<P>Friends -</P>
<P>browsed through&nbsp;my Milepost 2002 copy yesterday and decided to get a head start&nbsp;&nbsp;on the family trip&nbsp;to Denali in July and August 2004. Alaska and&nbsp;Westy &nbsp;veterans, here are some of my early questions&nbsp;:</P>
<P>- Which vehicle should I take? 87 Westy Eurospec conversion (fast, sleeps all four of us,premium gas, not every shop&nbsp;likes to work on conversions)&nbsp; or 89 Syncro van&nbsp;(slow, regular unleaded, only sleeps three, I would have to tent camp , rugged, good ground clearance).</P>
<P>-What should I do to prepare the van? New springs, shocks, lift kit?</P>
<P>- Where&nbsp;to store extra gas cans and 2nd spare wheel?</P>
<P>- Any must-see-sights besides what is mentioned in the Milepost ? Anything I should stay away from. First hand info would be most appreciated.</P>
<P>- Any VW mechanics along the Alaskan HWY?</P>
<P>TIA. Cheers,<BR><BR>Hermann de Boer </P>
