Charlotte, NC area: hate on OP, houses, boats & hoes

Anyone have any mechanic suggestions for the Charlotte area? I have some work I want done but want some Tacoma suggestions in person so I can just talk it all out

 

I had these guys do some work I wasn’t comfortable doing on my truck, there were two other 1st Gens in the lot owned by mechanics. They were reasonable and spent time answering my questions. If I ever have maintenance to do again that I’m not sure about I’ll take my truck back there.

Hey all, in the area for a week and looking to do some overlanding or offroading. I'm down in Richlands area and everything I can find seems to be ATVs only, or motocross. Anywhere I can take my Taco?

 

1yr ago yesterday I became a property owner in NC. Crazy how quickly a year passes!!

 

Im still new to NC in general and was looking to hit up my first trail sometime soon too. I’ve been browsing AllTrails and there’s 3 off-road locations when I search Charlotte:
1) Wolf Den OHV rated as easy
B) Uwharrie OHV rated as moderate
iii) Rocky Mountain Loop Trail also rated as moderate.
Maybe some of the locals can recommend a few.

 

I am down for any of those this weekend if anybody wants to go.

 

My pistol purchase permit arrived. About 3 months or 4 months after ordering it.

 

All things URE, seasonal closures, but I think its open till ~first of Dec

I am down to hit some trails with a good group of people. New to this forum as I own a 4Runner and I am on 4Runners.com but seem to see more activity here. I have done Hurricane Creek, UWharrie 2x’s (once during the day and once at night), and brown mountain (moved here at the end of April).

So if anyone is looking to hit some trails and wants to do a group meet please let me know. I am about 15-20 minutes from Gastonia.

EDIT:
I am not stock either but if anyone wants to read my 4Runner build here it is:
My 4Runner

 

Make sure you keep that distance from Gastonia....

 

im down to hit up some trails soon also.

@w.adventures
This weekend? I may be able to make it.

My truck is still on stock suspension with the addition of larger tires. Sooo I’d politely request an easier trail.

 

You can do a lot with stock suspension.

 

15-20 mins in which direction from Gastown?

 

North

 

Puts you in mcadenville,Lowell area

 

Nice build!

 

Yep, this weekend where is Rocky Mountain Loop Trail?

 

Middle of URE you done did it!

 

Did you take me there!?

 

I did! First trail we hit!
