    I’ve been looking to do this as well. From what I’ve seen, you should be good. There doesn’t appear to be anything crazy, it is primarily some kind of public / county road but there are some sections that will have mud / snow / sand depending on the time of year you go.

    I’d be sure to have a decent all terrain tire, shovel and some other basic recovery gear just in case.

    I just started to looking into this myself. I’d love to do it! I’m the type of guy where I want to make sure I have all my bases covered as far as plenty of tools, recovery gear, spare cv axles, gear oil, belts, radiator fluid etc etc.
