Uwharrie National Forest " URE " permanent thread

I will confirm when I will be there... Probably traveling Saturday June 30th (11 hours from Upstate NY).... Sunday Id be ready for some trails (Overlndkull)... Be easy on the new guy ; Pirate 1975 I'd be ready for another ride Mon or Tuesday...July 2nd or 3rd... As long as my Vacation plans stay intact.

 

That's what I've been doing this yr. is getting greenhorn's feet wet there. We won't get lost either because I think I have that place down pact for the most part.

 

I am definitely green... The most I have done is forest service roads in snow in the north east here (In a F*rd lol). This truck is more capable than I am right now... Definitely will keep in touch as the end of the month nears.

 

I was out there on the 2nd. Trails weren't too bad. Had a 2nd gen taco mostly stock go up the back side of Daniel with us and had no issues. Also had a stock 2nd gen 4runner make it up no problem.

 

For the record...im running 32s also...not willing to do the cutting on my DD for anything bigger

 

255/85/16’s fit and don’t rub with the stock OR wheels...should you ever decide to step up to 33’s.

 

Ty...i went 265 75 16.... Does gearing change feel necessary at that size? I have 200 miles on a set of Cooper st maxxs... I will take that into consideration next round

 

Not really necessary to re-gear with 33's. I only did it because the opportunity presented itself and was cheap enough.

 

Cool...ty for great info...headed to work to finance a few more mods and upcoming time off

 

We can do Rocky Mountain..i’ll so Dutch if it’s dry..I am green to this driving! I am hoping to run Thursday or Friday this week,probably solo..if @ovrlndkull goes out with you,he is a lot more experienced..I am a beach driver in an old manual SR5..still learning this auto gen3..I am hoping to do Dutch with these guys if I can ever get up with them,just a ride-a-long but have seen the line..

 

I will be at the outpost Thursday 9am meeting a Colorado from overlandbound.i know not Taco related but me,but support is always necessary..lol

 

Have fun and be safe!

 

I am running with a Colorado with a leveling kit..he is getting ready for the TAT starting Saturday..

 

TAT???

 

Trans America Trail.. from OBX to Oregon/Other

 

I thought that was from the keys to Wa. Either way if he actually does stay mostly offroad it should be fun. Think he'll probably need more than just a leveling kit.

 

He has front and rear lockers,but his rear shackles hang low..

 

Sounds like a plan...ill give ya a heads up when i confirm plans

 

Dutch hill climb isnt that bad, I think there are other parts of the trail that are far more sketch.

For the hill climb - Throw on MTS and lock the rear. Stay left and then right, avoid the wall and/or stopping.

 

I haven't truly used MTS or CRAWL control in any meaningful way... engaged to try...but in totally unnecessary area... I did use CRAWL to control a steep hill decent though... Pretty cool.
