    Stage 2 planning begins.

    At the end of April, I will return to Burnsville Virginia and pick up the TAT and head through VA and into NC and to at least the TN boarder. Planning to start the morning of the 30th and go for three days. More to come as I plan.

    Hope you are having a good time.
    You may want 2 batteries or a jump pack running the frig etc and you can buy a cheap plugin voltage gauge/usb to see battery status.
    The stock tires may become an issue.
    The stock step bars may get you hung up and are not sliders.
    Do you have a way to securely stow that winch in the bed. Everything heavy should have a secure tiedown thought out.
    Aftermarket skid plates can be your friend as in the east mud (what's in that hole) and west rocks (where did that hit).
    You will be figuring it all out as you go so travel on!

    Thanks for the reply. I am having a good time. I am solo running.
    I have a 500 watt knock off Jackery that I am using for the fridge. I keep it plugged into the 12 volt bed outlets during the driving day to stay charged and plug the fridge into it. It keeps the fridge running over night when running on its own. I have two 12volt outlets in the bed and one of those is a voltage gauge.

    Winch stays attached to the front when driving and in my garage when not in use.

    Gonna let the stock tires wear out then upgrade. For the most part on these sections it has been no worse than forest service roads.
