    Thanks guys. Think I'd have any trouble in a stock '19 TRDOR MT? The pics of you rig look pretty stock, maybe lifted a little. I have not been off-road in mine yet. I am hankering bad.

    You’ll be just fine in that. I went down it in my stock SR5 and my Jeep stock. Just take your time. Also, if you have a friend to tag along, that’s always the best practice

    2” front
    2.5” rear
    265/70r17 tires. You’ll be fine. Just drive slow.

    Agreed!

    Looks like there's a forest service road that connects the other end to Bear Wallow Gap and Meadow Fork Gap?

    Yea there are two options at the end. One is shorter and a little more technical and drops you closer to Hwy 209

    The other is longer and easier and drops you out by Max Patch

    That technical section was tough on a couple prerunner guys that were with us lol. But it’s way more fun than the longer way

    I’m gonna head to Asheville sometime in the next couple weekends. We should run it again if you’re free!

    I forgot that you were with us that day! You definitely need to break the 4Runner in! I’ve got a friend with a T4OR that still hasn’t taken it off road.. maybe I can shame him into coming haha

    I left my house on 03/03/19 at 11:00pm and after a stop at Eddys shop in Laurens, SC I was at this trail at around 2:30 pm.

    03/04/19. The 1st creek on Hurricane Creek Trail. There's a campsite on the right just before the creek itself. I was hoping the water depth would've been deeper & more challenging but it was still fun & very cold.

    Next time I go I will give more notice. Hopefully I can meet up with some of you.

    In the 3rd video I ended up getting water in both of my rubber boots & almost busted my ass at :16. :rolleyes:
    Coordinates of the entrance: 35.72328, -83.02637.
    Coordinates of the 1st creek: 35.71847, -83.01501.

    This 1st pic is where GPS sent me to. I was on my way to Hurricane Creek Rd. This road goes up a mountain and ends at someones property. GPS isn't always 100%. On the way down towards I-40 GPS kept telling me to make a U-turn. HAHAHAHA! Once on I-40 I remembered the sign to look for. I didn't mind the detour.
