Gulches ORV Park in Laurens, SC

You would be able to do everything around Gulches, like the outer road, and maybe a couple of the inner obstacles. I think you would have more fun in the Jeep, though, even stock, unless you just don't wanna take a chance on damaging the vehicle you're making payments on. And I know how I sound saying Jeep > Tacoma. Somebody hit the dislike button!

 

Bring whatever you would feel like. I've heard that Gulches doesn't allow 2wd that could be a lie but IDK. I know I want to hit some of the hard stuff that probably not many will want to follow me down which I'm fine with.

 

Skip doesn't allow 2wd, but he also doesn't actually check your vehicle or anything. I have a tow strap @Matic so if you want to follow behind me, bring the Taco!

Still think you'd have more fun in the Jeep, though.

 

No lift yet is what I'm concerned about.
AEV 2.5 and 37's going on next fall.

If you want to stage in front, I may bring the yota. Just thinking this thru as I absolutely don't wanna damage the heep

 

I keep hearing of "heartbreaker"? from my buddy at work. Do you guys do that one?

 

That's a harder one. One of the videos Jimbo posted was of it. I think that I'll probably be the only one willing to do it. It is definitely not 2wd friendly. Look at the map it goes from difficult to extreme but there is a bypass from what I've been seeing online for the extreme section.

 

Heartbreaker is definitely a no go for me, not without a front locker and 35's. Lots of big rocks in there to beat your diffs and everything else on unless you can clear them, and I can't.

 

Matt @The Schwartz is already at Gulches. He's probably already wheeled the whole park.

 

Well text him and tell him to go ahead and pay our way so that we can just get in and go when we get there

So he decided to go there and camp tonight huh?

 

Yeah, decided to camp rather than drive back to Augusta, then all the way back up tomorrow.

 

Well looks like I won't be making it. Had some stuff come up tomorrow afternoon. :/


@Matic, there is lots you could do in the taco, you shouldn't be afraid of damage in the Jeep unless you go on Rocky trails or the harder sections. There are plenty of detours around the hard stuff.

 

Laurens is less than 15 mins down 385 from Greenville. Get there at 11 when it opens, wheel with us for two hours, and deal with your ish in the afternoon.

 

I'm an hour and fifteen from gulches, getting up early and going to gorges state be park with my son. Got to be home around 1

 

Take care of personal business and family first, man!

 

Is it morning yet? Trucks packed, ready to ride! Just need coffee and breakfast, oh and sleep.

 

Most likely going to miss out on the one. Since my air is out upstairs, I'm going to start moving important stuff downstairs and maybe get someone over here on monday.

Edit: Up and getting some coffee. Cooling the upstairs with fans right now. Going to shut everything up when I leave. See you guys in a few hrs, bringing the Heep.

 

Rolling out now hahaha long road ahead of me.

 

Wth. 4 hrs early?

 

What time will you be arriving?
