Has anyone heard any updates on the service network? I contacted my local BMW dealership in Lafayette, Indiana and they told me they won't touch anything that doesn't have a BMW badge. I wonder if the BMW logo on the engine cover counts!

Would an Aussie dealer not ship to the US?

We had a plan from the get go. Two nights camping, then one night hotel. This morphed into every other night due to various reasons (mostly whether or not we were due for a hot shower and a dry bed). Camping was purely freestyle. We tried to call it quits around 5-6pm every day to have time...

Yeah that sounds confusing doesn't it. We were on the blue routes all they until we hit Green River, UT. We then did a mix of green and blue (mostly green) until we hit Nevada. There is a portion of the blue trail in Utah, near Emery, UT that was purely an ATV trail and was no business for...

Great write-up! Looks like an awesome adventure!

Thanks! I'm only making modifications that have a certain utility. I REALLY wanted a lift but after finding it wasn't necessary for the TAT, it's been put on the back burner. We did find that a rear bumper with gas/hilift carriers would have been a huge benefit, so a rear bumper got pushed to...

Thank you! We were on the blue routes all they way to Green River Utah, then went back to blue and ended up on a 4-wheeler trail. After that debacle we went back to green for the rest of Utah to avoid tiny trails. Nevada we did a combo of freestyle paved routes and GPSkevin's green routes (most...

Thank you! It was the icing on the cake :)

It's absolutely possible. We would have been fine in 4-hi, but used 4-Lo since it was available. Tool wise we brought the standard assortment of wrenches, sockets, bailing wire, duct tape, etc. basically what we could fit in a medium sized tool bag. Luckily we didn't need any of that either...

The only times I put it in 4-Lo was on Engineer and Imogene passes. Everything else was fine in 4-Hi or 2wd. The skids took a couple of hits on the passes as well, but other than that I was primarily used for smashing grasshoppers. It was just a safety cushion for not having any lift. The...

Sweet rig! Honestly, most of the sections would be fine with this beast. I would stick to the green routes in the mountainous states. A good portion of Colorado was nice wide dirt roads.

Yeah, sorry about the FB link. It was the easiest way to update friends and family along the route.

I can't speak for Nevada, but most of the trail was very manageable. However, part of the route in Utah sent us down a trail that turned out to be a 4 wheeler trail. By the time we realized we were too big for the trail we had no option but to push on. In Colorado the tightest trails were the...

Hey Everyone, Its been a while since I've posted here but I wanted to finally post the link to our page we made for our TAT attempt. Back in August, my now fiance and I, decided to tackle the Trans America Trail from Oklahoma to Oregon. We allotted roughly 2-weeks for that particular section...

Ok. Thanks! Given my schedule in the coming months I don't think travel would be an option. But I will see how this plays out.

What condition is the awning? It is the 78" right? Would you split the set?

Thank you all so much for the feedback! I've got a lot of research ahead of me, but I think you all have convinced me to look at cots. I really like the exped mega mat duo, but geez is that thing pricey. Cots seem to be a little more reasonable. I'll keep yall posted on what I find!

Yeah, we were thinking a Coleman 6-man. The footprint on that thing is 10x10. It's not the best tent in the world, and I'm all for buying once, but if this is an isolated event, then I still have my Kelty 2-man for future solo trips.

Hello All, I'm planning a two week trip across the U.S. for next fall. Right now it is just the girlfriend and Me, and we plan on a routine of primitive camping for two or three consecutive nights, then refreshing in a hotel. I want to make the camping portion as comfortable as possible so my...

Great read! How many miles did you cover per day? We are looking to do OK to OR but have no idea how much time it will take. Most of the estimates I've found are for motorcycles. :/
