5 days on the Appalachian Byway last week. These are my two Jeeps. My brother drove the JK. We got back Friday. By Monday at noon he had traded in his Camaro ZL-1 1LE for a Gladiator Rubicon! I think he's now hooked! Lol!

We are almost done with the NC/TN route. The route has been spot-on. Well worth it.

Nope. Not voting for that. I don't even like biting my own tongue, let alone someone else's.

I would LOVE to try that!

I'd love to try Treet. Never had it. But I'll predict it won't knock Spam off the top, for me. Lol! I'm picturing Robert Conrad with a can of Spam on his shoulder saying, "Come on. I dare you to knock this off my shoulder."

Got the Jeeps' maintenance caught up. Now we just need to clean them up and load them out. I spent yesterday swapping the hard top/Sunrider back onto the JL, then changed oil/filters on both Jeeps and diff and t-case fluid on the JK. Both had tires rotated/balanced, so they are good to go for...

Nice Blazer! Always loved and wanted one of those Blazer ZR2's!

Yes, I think we're going to start in NC right off US 23 near Franklin. We're leaving after I get off work, so we'll probably stay in Dandridge, TN Friday night, then make the 1.5 hour drive to our starting point. We're going to mostly camp, but may do a hotel a night or two along the way...

I agree. The Anderson plug would fit more efficiently into auto dash boards. They could put multiple plugs, maybe 3 or 4, in the space of one 12v plug, or they could just do one or 2 and have more flexibility for other elements of design. Yeah, I've probably been lucky, but both cords are...

Will do!

Just over a week from departure. GPX maps are loaded in the Garmin Overlander and Gaia. I'm now doing some maintenance on the Jeeps and sorting camping gear. Can't wait to check out the trail.

The problem is that 12v plugs are far more common for common devices. I have nothing that uses an Anderson plug. Plus, I've never had anything pop out of the 12v. Neither my Snomaster or cheap Alpicool fridge cords pop out. My drone charger plugs don't pop out, either. I'm sure the...

Great! Mine says it has bluetooth but the old app was hard to find and it would not connect to my phone. I'll give this a try! Thanks!

I figured the other side must have taken the real hit. Glad nobody was hurt. Machines, much as we get attached to them, are replaceable.

88 hours is just incredible! Sorry, I scanned on my little phone screen and misread the numbers. That's even better, though!

Wow, looks like you all had a great trip. Sorry to hear about the Xterra. It looked like a great rig. The damage didn't look too bad in the pic, but pics don't often tell the story and it may have been looking at its better side. I'll be heading down there in a few weeks. We'll bring trash...

I typically buy Walmart Great Value light Spam. Because I'm cheap and it still tastes great. My kids love Spam, too. Much to the chagrin of my friends, I've turned some of their kids into Spam fans, too!

What app is that? I've not found one that works with my little 20qt Alpicool. Awesome Jeep, btw!

Great review! Wish I could afford a 1000, or even 500, LOL! I've found my 240 to charge very quickly with the 60w Jackery solar panels. It certainly charges faster than the fridge uses it. Of course, I don't stay put for long, so the 18 or so hours run time is fine for me. I use the charge...

Ok, folks, how about a trail report? We'd love to hear about how much fun you all had and also see some pics! How was the condition of Hurricane Creek Road? Were the water crossings manageable? Did you see any bears? How was the weather? Let's have it!
