New to the boards. Are there any good off road trails around Knoxville? Will be in the area for 5 weeks starting tomorrow. Thanks in advance for any info.

 

Still a little snow up high.

 

Dude I need some of that kinda snow down here!! That looks awesome

 

Weston u tried asking someone with that setup?

 

I would get OME 885. Set bilsteins at 0. You will get about 2.25" lift with eibachs and at .85 on the strut adjustment.

It will clear the tires with 2.25" lift but how much trimming are you willing to do on a 2011 truck? You've seen my clearancing sitting at about 2.5" lift...

 

Where we went there were some four-to-five-foot drifts, and from what I understand, the road is pretty much impassable on up higher.

Had to help a woman in a 2WD Jeep Grand Cherokee get going from the side of the road. She got stuck in less than eight inches of snow a couple of feet from the clear gravel tracks, about another two feet from dropping off the side of the mountain. We pushed her uphill while a kid in a 4X Ranger tried to pull her with a chain. Neither knew what they were doing and it took more effort than it should have, but we got her going.

 

Looks like the trail up to the AT access above Erwin TN?

 

Well who feels like a fucking dumbass? THIS GUY!!!!!

I thought I had ordered OME coils but in the box I got there was a cardboard divider that said "eibach". Without even thinking, I assumed I had ordered the eibach. I started looking at my order and I actually did order the OME. So I don't know why Toytec put that cardboard that says eibach but whatever. The sticker on the coil says "OME 885x" so everything is good.

 

Yep, play on. Set at 0.

 

Hahaha "Ding Dong Mothafucker! DING DONG!"

 

Will do. I really didn't want to try and buy the OME coils and sell the old ones. Just glad I got that figured out. I'm going to order mt leaf packs Monday and I'm going to talk to toms the first of the week to set up a day to have it installed.

How's capital treating you jeff?

 

It's going great. But, I'm going back to school in January for my second degree. We'll see what happens with work??

 

Well, the AT does cross the road, but the road itself goes from Indian Grave Gap to Iron Mountain Gap.

 

That's good man. What degree are you getting? Stopped by sometime this past week and looked at the trucks on the lot, they look good but they sure do like being able to charge for having the "deler installed lift"! It's like 4000 for rims, 33" trail grapplers, and a spacer and block lift . Also how do you like your TRD intake?

 

cool

Nuclear power engineering.
It's marked up like that because when you calculate financing that amount along with the truck for 60 months it ends up not being such a big deal for most people. Some people love it and its not for others.
If I had to do over again I believe I would just put a high flow filter in the stock set up. All the power gain is in the upper RPM range and I drive like an old person so I see few benefits besides the great sound and easy spark plug change.

 

hey man. there is royal blue WMA a little north of knox. maybe one day we could meet up and go up a trail or 2. it’s mostly logging roads and stuff. other than that it’s ATV only trails.

 

Sounds like a good plan. For me will probably have to be a weekend though.
