Awesome build, I really like the look with the awning out and the now with the panel installed! Look forward to more pictures :)

Do you have any more details on the iPad Pro magnetic mount, by chance?
I used two Magnetic flush mounts by Scosche, I found at Best Buy. You can get them on Amazon too. I had to make a metal bracket that mounts to the trim bezel but it was pretty easy and looks pretty clean. I don't have any other pics of it but soon I'll be starting a series of YouTube videos on my channel that will go over it and the other things in this thread in more detail.

Oh nice! I was actually looking at those Scosche mounts. I'll be keen to see how you did the brackets, looking forward to the video.

I just watched your day 18-19 videos, pretty good stuff dude! I rode the TAT a few years ago on a little dirt bike, we camped everynight along the way, I think you setup camp in the same spot as us on your Day 19.

I look forward to seeing your routing as you get into western Utah and NV, the TAT (as it was about 5yrs ago) ran through quite a few sections that wouldn't be very truck friendly.
Case in point, this epic section in northern NV that was pretty much a cattle trail for ~40 miles!

Did you talk about your planned route in any of your videos? I've seen you look at different overlays on your tablet a few times, but I haven't caught how you actually laid out your route? Obviously when I was planning our route I was using input from other motorcycle specific sources (ADVRIDER, etc) to be aware of sketchy/dangerous sections, is there similar source for the truck guys?

Another section that was outstanding was the Paiute Trail section in UT.

The official TAT has changed a bit since you rode it. It now turns North at the Nevada border and goes through Idaho then through Oregon. Arguably a much prettier route, but indeed one that is both moto and cage driver friendly.
