When I got back from Alaska 2 weeks ago my front fork seals were leaking. Yesterday I replaced them and the bushings. Easy job and now they are like new. Their idea of gravel in the yukon is packed down dirt with 2 inch plus stones sticking out. Very hard on suspension.

You should have seen it in '61.  Shocked My Mom drove me a 3 year old and my brother 1 and a half in a Studebaker from San Benito TX. to Anchorage. 3 flat tires, 1 bear encounter, and 2 weeks all dirt and gravel.
When you did your seals did you make the homemade driver ?
