Was a hoot in the Jeep. Many roads are getting paved as of late because the states are finding it is cheaper than trying to maintain them otherwise. I'm very interested as well and I'm looking to do the TAT next year. Roads are changing everyday and the trail has many pitfalls but it should be fun. GPS Kevins route:
I have been wanting to go on my motorcycle, but the all the rain we have gotten changed my mine. I put a rack and roof top tent on my gladiator. We went on the trail from Fayetteville Ar to Fayetteville Tn before I had to drop him off where he lived in Alabama and I headed back.

A couple of buddies and I just did the Arkansas segment of the TAT. As was the NM and CO portions, this one was a blast. I particularly enjoyed the "Warloop Road" part -- despite being a county road, it's freaking AWESOME. It is basically a trail through the woods that contains a large area that has a downhill rock area. It was a blast!
A 4Runner friend and I ('21 JTR) just completed the NM and CO portions of the TAT. It was a blast. From start to finish -- my home in NETX and back -- was a total of 2,800 miles. I pulled my '22 TAXA WoolyBear Overland on the trip and it performed like a champ. I must say that Engineer Pass and...
