So yesterday when we were talking about the Trasharoo bags, I bounced over to their website to just check-them-out (its been a while since I was on their site). The spare tire bags are only $48.00. And while there I happened to see this on their site: Link: Overland Junk Drawer...

There's a whole thread dedicated to these spare tire bags on the Expedition Portal: Link: Swing-Out Trash Bags | Expedition Portal It is an older thread, but recently the links were updated for some of the options. The thread is also a little harsh on the Trasharoos (and not undeserved -...

I see from your pictures you guys are running the Trasharoo bags on your spare tires. I've got one for my Jeep's spare - I've had it for years. They sure do come in handy! (not bringing the kayak on this trip - picture is from one of my Canada trips). If you're running an externally...

Good morning! I head out for WV two weeks from today. I've got reservations at Statts Mills RV park for 10 & 11 June. Looking forward to seeing some of you there before the kick-off on 12 June. Ok... What to expect on the morning of 12 June: I will get to Walmart by 0800. Be looking for my...

I am so getting some while in WV. Will probably slice some up and put it in my breakfast hash (hash browns, cheddar cheese, and egg all scrambled together).

Doing a few final trailer projects: 1. I had a high-lift jack cover made by Step-22 for a few years. I have the jack mounted to the side of my trailer. It keeps the jack workings clean, but the rest of the jack has gotten muddy at times, so you would need to clean the I-beam well if you were...

I'm sorry to hear you won't be coming. I think you were one of the first to sign up for the trip. I knew you were excited about the trip, and had put a lot of money and effort getting your rig ready for the TAT. Thanks for letting us know.

Ok; I knew about that - I didn't know it had a name. Thanks! Yeah - it seems like events are trying to conspire against us. I guess we'll see what happens.

Thanks. I think she's pretty cute. She puts up with me. What's the "Colonial Mess" you're talking about?

Woo Hoo! Today is 12 May; we leave 12 June. One more month to go! Actually three weeks for me - I leave WA on 4 June. I'm trying to start tying up loose ends. I renewed my nursing license early (due in July) so I won't have to deal with it on the trip. I went to the commissary yesterday...

Yes, awesome video! Can't wait to get out there and see it for myself. Thanks for posting it. I too saw the post on the TAT FB group page about the mud holes out of Ripley. I already planned on us bypassing that section (the TAT map shows the bypass) - it'll be too early in the game (day #1)...

See post #423. That's the best I can do.

Thank-you CountryRoads4x4 for the intel. Sounds like three options: #1. The bypass suggested by CountryRoads4x4 pictured below: #2. (suggested by Triple B): Get off in Sutton. Take HWY 15 East to 219 South into Marlinton (where the trail is picked back up). #3. (again; suggested by...

Today is May 4th. I leave WA heading to WV on June 4th (should get there on the 10th). One month and counting down! Who else is leaving early to make the Rally Point? When are ya leaving?

Since I mentioned going to the bathroom.... If we stop along the trail for a potty break, the men go off to the left (driver's side), and the ladies go off to the right (passenger side). I've read (recently even) where someone got off the trail to go to the bathroom (this last one was a...

Bear spray. Do you need it? You don't need it, but it would be a good idea to have a can for just-in-case on this trip. I have a feeling it would be effective on most four or two-legged critters. I carry UDAP bear deterrent. It comes in different sizes (13.4 and 7.9 oz. shown below - they...

I'm figuring we'll be posting on this thread as the trip progresses.

We may have 18/20 signed up, however.... 1) I just have a feeling there will be at least a few (or more) who at the last minute aren't able to attend for whatever reason (stuff happens... that's just how it goes; at least based on my experience running these things). That's why I put the...

Got the plate with sticker attached all mounted to the Jeep. I guess now I need to plan a separate trip to Colorado to justify getting the permit in the first place.

Thanks. There are lots of mid-sized or full-sized 4x4 vehicles you could get for probably $2000 or under that would do great on a TAT trip. They might not be the newest (1996 is when OBD-II was pretty much across the board), but they'd do just fine with none to mild modifications (and proper...
