I drove through Canada to Alaska one way in 2007, then back out in 2010. In a car for our family in the Air Force. The old days where you had to carry an extra set of tires, mount a brush bar, etc. etc. are over. The old ALCAN exists in only a few places. You can leave the Alaska Highway to visit it, but the AKHWY is a modern, although mostly two-lane, road. That said, there's enough gravel around that you may very well experience some windshield damage. We picked up a few medium size chips on the way in. On the way out, we picked up a large ding in the windshield. Actually pulverized the outer layer.
In North Country, AK and NW Canada, many vehicles are running around with damaged windshields. So I'd say something MAY happen. I can also promise you it's NO reason to stay home!
We entered CA at Glacier and went to Edmonton, then over to Dawson Creek. On the way out we took Top of the World HWY to Dawson City, down to Whitehorse, then Cassiar Highway from Watson Lake. Entered USA at Sumas WA. Two wonderful trips!
