WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA TACOMAS

Yeah I’m wanting to do this in the next month or so. Do a super scrub underneath and then coat the piss out of it. And sleep easier. 100 bucks every year or two vs rusted frame seems like a no brainer.

 

i agree with that. I went to fort fisher last weekend. Came home and scrubbed, took it to a car wash that washed the undercarriage. Then came home and rinsed a little more. Just paranoid is all. Been thinking about how I need to fluid film before the next trip.

 

Figure since I live in the area I might as well throw up a comment instead of just lurking. Checking in from swannanowhere

 

I live on Cane Creek (runs right through the middle of my property) and there's definitely no vehicle trail this far up - must be further down towards Arden/Fletcher where things are wider?

 

Different Cane Creek. This one is in Sylva/Cullowhee.

Edit: They didn't get very creative with naming things 'round these parts. Lots of places with the same or similar names.

 

Guess it's a Southern thing. I grew up around Atlanta and there are what seems like 20 streets names Peachtree (street, road, industrial blvd, etc.).

 

They are either not creative or full on schizophrenic with street names like here in hickory. 26th st place NE ave CT which is no where near 26th st NE place ave.

 

Haha. Sounds like Salt Lake. Grid system.

 

Lol not even close!!

 

So many toys!! Local mountain bike shop that makes wheels. Really cool shop.

 

Whatcha doing at I9?

 

Helping my homie swap out his shift linkage on his old 81 Rabbit.

 

This ol badass whip. We clay barred and waxed it after this picture. Didn’t take any post wash pics. He’s got a Tacoma too.

 

Sick shop. Sick Rabbit.

 

Any of you live in Hendersonville? Wife and I went down this weekend to check the area out near Asheville/Weaverville. Stuff near Asheville is too close together, and the stuff spread out in the mountains are reallllly spread out/concerns of not good schools/bad internet. I need good internet for remote work. Would like general opinions on the area in general for a new family.

 

The Hickory area might have what you are looking for. I can see the blue ridge mountains from my neighborhood and can be on the blue ridge parkway in less than an hour.

Plus there's like 10 offroad parks within 4.5hrs.

 

Don't forget the Crawdads if you like baseball. Decent team (usually), feeder team for the Texas Rangers, and the tickets are CHEAP.

 

We might have driven through there on the way from Charlotte. My goal and hope is to have mountain views from my house/street, 2 car detached and 1+ acres. Finding the 2+ car detached in mountains seems to prove to be difficult.

 

You did, you saw 1% of the city lol. You can find all that around here, but I recommend driving around rural NC, or any of the south, a bit, it may be a culture shock on depending what you are used to.

If you have any transplant questions let me know, I'll share what I learned in my 1yr since moving down here.

 

Oh it already was lol, part of why it didn't turn into a "We are moving here ASAP" and it was more like ehhh can we really be happy here? We didn't feel the way we did on the front range of Colorado. We went to check out a property in Burnsville and the area was a bit more rural than I hoped.
