Hey folks, I am planning a ~2 month Alaska expedition sometime in mid summer 2027 or 2028 and I wanted some recommendations regarding vehicle/gear choice.

I have done a good bit of solo travelling/overlanding (nearly all 48 lower states and 7 Canadian provinces) in my 2012 4Runner, but this trip will be with 1 - 2 other people.

Additionally, I have not overlanded in Alaska. While I have done some remote overlanding in Northern Quebec, I am guessing Alaska is a different breed of animal.

For context, we are wanting to hit as many NPs as possible (and I understand some of those require bush plane/air travel), as well as just general adventure.

Any recommendations for a base vehicle, as well as potential gear/upgrades, are greatly appreciated. For reference, I am already good on power bank/generator, communications (Starlink, sat phone, 2 way radios, CB), extensive first aid kit, and personal protection from wildlife (bear spray, 12 gauge).

*** To be clear, this is not the only advice/recommendations/research I am doing, but I thought it would help to get extra insight here.***
