Protecting The Truck
Making our first trip to Alaska this spring towing a 5th wheel, & have found this forum very helpful. My question is has anyone made any type of protective gravel guard for the front of the pick up? ...

I asked about headlight covers in Whitehorse,
the Ford parts guy laughed and said" we only sell those to tourists"!
Totally, seen a few contraptions up there or on the way that gave a good chuckle.
Yes there are a few gravel stretches under construction. Yes the TOW hwy, Denali hwy etc are gravel, but idk what make people think it's different than anywhere else.
Use some common sense and don't take a vehicle you can't handle a few rock chips on.
Overall it's a mellow easy drive. Only thing that got me on my toes was hitting that area in.....wherever .....where the bison sit on the road.....at dusk!
Come flyin around a corner and here's a dozen big brown "rocks" in the road! They didn't move, had to weave thru them and it kept me awake pretty well for the next couple hours!
