Takoytoys build

Not quite turned to freezing rain and sleet now hovering around 9-10". Freezing rain and sleet are my arch nemesis since that ice storm we got back in '03 (I think it was 03).

 

problems remembering? You are getting old

 

Too many concussions

 

I made it down last week. Really nice area. Lots of fire roads and primitive camping. No real offroading. Lots of waterfalls in this area.

 

These kickouts come in handy

 

Nice! brother

 

Are they making these rears for 3rd gens?

 

Shoot @EddyRRT a PM. I'm not sure he has made these kickouts for a third gen yet but I sure he could.

 

Nice man any good camp spots? I need to get back out i have been chomping at the bit lately to get outdoors. So busy though.

 

Lots of camp spots in this area and just to the north on wiggins spring road. Keep in mind these are fire roads so if you want a little more adventure flagpole, Crabtree or bald mtn are better options.

This is the beat camp spot I found along peddler river. I'm sure is busy in the prime months. Could get 4-5 trucks in there.

A lot of campsites along the road here as well.

 

thanks man i will have to check them out soon.

 

and I have been exactly rt there on that rock

 

nice. That is a killer camp spot. I never even thought to pose on the rock ! Nice pic! I wanted to camp just down the hill from there on the river. I walked down the day after and almost was carried away by a hatch of some kind of winged terrorist. I attempted to fish under that bridge but all I caught was a crawdad on trout bait. I could see a school of catchable size fish but I guess they were suckers or some kind of non game fish.

 

I believe that part of the river is stocked. Have you taken the trailer up there yet? Are you still running with no sway bar even pulling the trailer? I have left mine on so far I kinda figured it was safer pulling the camper

 

I haven't had the trailer to rapidan yet. I have done flagpole, Crabtree and greenridge with it so far. Hunting season slowed down my camp trips drastically.

I took the sway bar off last year and have never felt the need to put it back on. I tend to drive conservatively though.

 

I'm going to have to think more on the sway bar. I just don't know if I wheel hard enough for the bennifit although it was explained to me this is one of the reasons it rides rougher off road

 

Sleepy creek photo dump!

 

Great pics some of that looks a little much for me but really good pics

 

Looks like I need to get up there looks like a cool place to wheel. Is there some good camping in that area?
