GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

I saw a few people recommending tray mountain but I dont want to go without another truck in case something happens, stuck/flat tire/ect. the only things I have that could be used for getting unstuck offroad is a 12' come-along and a 20' tow strap. Most of my gear is for on road stuff not adventuring.

 

When I go I'll let you know

 

It was fucking awesome! I need bigger tires and full skids and I'll hit some more intermediate trails. Loved it tho, I'll be back for sure! Uh you may have found us we were hitting some trails late haha

 

Sounds good

I now love offroading. I defiantly am in on the next trip.

 

Haha next trip won't be Pre-runner friendly

 

Im in, should I remove my sway bar for the harder stuff?

 

You could but it depends on what coils you have up front. But not sure if that'll help ha

 

As far as I can tell everything is still OEM

 

Where is this??

 

Tray Mountain Rd

 

Don't take the coils off then

 

Do you just pull off on a trail off the side of the road or what? And do you have an exact address of the trail you went to?

 

Some body posted it a few posts ago. Scroll up until you see it

 

Yeah I saw the pictures but I'm wondering how to get onto the trail

 

I'll get the directions I used when I get home and post them

 

You turn off the paved road onto a dirt national forest road.

 

Ok here is the directions I used. I took the first route.
The link to this page is at the bottom.

Main Access Routes to Tray Mountain
For the first route, take GA 356 east from Robertstown (1 mile north of Helen) for 5 miles. Turn left at Bethel Church onto Chimney Mountain Road and follow it for 2 miles to FS 79 (Tray Mountain Road) which is maintained for four-wheel-drive vehicles and pickup trucks. Travel FS 79 north for 7 miles to Tray Mountain Gap [Fig. 29(49)] at the intersection of FS 698 and the AT crossing. For the second route, a steep incline with switchbacks, take GA 75 north from Robertstown for 1 mile. Turn right on FS 79 across from the Hooch Trading Post. Travel in a northerly direction 6.5 miles to a fork. The left fork goes to a landmark called Indian Grave Gap [Fig. 29(54)], a high, wide saddle between Rocky Mountain (4,017 feet) and Tray. On either side are "hanging valleys" of great scenic beauty. Also crossing here are the Appalachian Trail and a trail from Andrews Cove [Fig. 29(60)]. Here the last remnant of the great gash of Warwoman Shear [Fig. 29(55)] makes its final appearance, lining up the head of High Shoals Creek with Andrews Creek [Fig. 29(41,48)]. The right fork goes past the little meadow [Fig. 29(52)] called "Cheese Dairy," the former site of a goat cheese factory. There is a spring here at this popular camping spot. Continue to Tray Gap [Fig. 29(49)], located at the intersection of FS 698 and the AT. Hikers can follow the AT to the top of Tray Mountain.

For the third route, the shortest, take GA 75 north from Helen 11 miles (2 miles north of Unicoi Gap). Turn right onto FS 283. Proceed in a southerly direction for about 4 miles. Turn east at the junction with FS 79 and go 2 miles to arrive at the intersection of FS 698 and the AT crossing. At 1.3 miles on FS 283, pass the High Shoals trailhead [Fig. 29(38)] to a bridge over High Shoals and a trail down to two sets of exceptional falls where, because of several deaths, viewing platforms [Fig. 29(37)] have been built.
