Official Tennessee Thread

haha width may be an issue. there are some parks out here that have limits (one is 84" width and less only).

quite a few guys are running LT though, so idk

 

Tennesseans - I live in Nashville and have a (mostly) stock 3rd Gen 4x4 OR. Looking for some good local spots to play with my toy - clearly nothing hardcore without a lift, skid plate, and wench but would be nice to hit some trails worthy of playing in 4Lo. After 3 months, the most I've done is hit some forest roads in the mountains... what would your top 5 be?

 

Come to LBL with us next month.

But Windrock is my favorite place so far.

 

Yes, Windrock is definitely on the list and would also love to check out some of the MTB trails out there. And from what I can tell, there are plenty of mild trails there that wouldn't outdo a stock OR 4x4. I do a lot of whitewater in East TN and will be tacking on a trip to Windrock soon.

I assumed the meet-up would be more for the hardcore mods and showing up in my stock OR would be like showing up to a gun fight with a knife Still, for a stock truck I know they are quite capable, just no rock crawling or huge obstacles or "swimming"

 

So , on the way to work this morning this happened.

And my truck...

 

Nothing crazy at lbl. Stock friendly. Good times.

Looks like a win to me

 

I don't see anything wrong with your truck

Sucks that you have to be caught up in that though. Sucks for them.

 

Looks like you'll need new PC for the bumper. I think it runs about $500, I would get a quote from a PC and use that to get the insurance check

 

Do I only have to do the diff breather in the rear? When I look under the hood there are two elevated breathers in the front already. I'm assuming that's transmission and front diff?

 

Correct. Free kits/install at LBL

 

What do you use at the end of the hose? The part the ties up behind the light. I saw a pic in your thread or somewhere. I just reused the stock breather last time.

 

Cigarette butt.

 

I use a sintered brass filter. It allows unchecked flow in and out where the OEM can cause negative pressure to build. Negative pressure is not a problem as long as your axle seals are in good shape. Otherwise the negative pressure will still suck water through the seals as your submerged axle housing cools.

I need to get one.

 

Have you checked out royal blue?

 

I have "accidentally" been there once. Ironically, in a Tacoma, but not mine. I don't remember much as it was night.

You?

 

Drunk? Haha
Royal blue was okay. The trails seemed to be a little smoother/easier.

 

College shenanigans I guess you would say.

 

I'm listening.
