NTC's 11t Annual Northeast Takeover July 25-28

I have a friend who is a welder and is in the process of taking measurements and coming up with ideas

John will they fit my 03 XtraCab?

 

i didn't realize you have a 1st gen. i doubt they will fit .

 

lol no problem man, what brand are they? just curious to see what brand people go with on skids

 

There just the stock skids from my 2gen . I have ATO skid now .

 

May take a drive and join other TW members for this event. Looks like I am the only CT guy interested in going. I would stick with the green trail systems as most appear to also be going with, as most of us need to get our trucks home. My truck has no sliders as of now so can't go too wild, I need it to look pretty
From the pictures I have seen most of the trails look fairly "open" so pinstripes look minimal. Sounds like a good time.

 

I always bring some little cobra two-way radios with me when I go, I run on channel 10. Anybody else bring radios?

No, I don't have a CB at the moment. Future plans!

Also, Trail 14 is a Greentrail according to the map. I would avoid it if you're running a stock truck, especially without sliders. On the other hand, if you're lifted it's a badass trail I run it every time I go.

 

95% will have CB coms. Two ways and CB run on different waves so it's one or the other.

 

Yeah I know. I was just saying I don't have a cb as of yet. Wish I did.
Me and my friends just use two ways, o was just wondering if anyone else did.

I might be better off grabbing a cheap handheld cb.

 

Trail 14 is a must

 

Which one is 14? Haven't done too many greens lately. Is that the one that twists and turns through the trees and has a bunch of muddy pools of water? I like that one.

 

Yeah the twisty turny muddy rocky one

 

I liked trail 11 and would recommend it for anyone running greens.

 

Okay, i'm making a list.......14,11.............lol. I cant wait. Just wish the skid plate fairy would visit. I keep putting pieces of scrap steel under my pillow. Very uncomfortable

 

LOOOOLLLL

 

These are from 11

 

The first four pictures are Power Line. Add it to your list. 11 is actually just a fire road, with the exception of two spots that have pretty nice washouts.

 

That makes sense, we took powerline to 11.

 

If I were to lead a green group around, I'd pick the following:

Go through the comp course, take K to A. If you make a left, there is a small hill climb that you could try out. Take A back up to B. Turn left on to C. Optionally, take O. Follow C the rest of the way to B. Right on B left on to trail 1. Run 1 to 1b to Pole Line. Drive through 5 ft hole (it's not 5 ft deep, and it is solid). Pole line to Tower road, optional lunch by the tower. Power Line to H. H back up the hill to 11. 11 to 14 to 11 to H. Take H back up to E to 25. Try fire pit. Take S all the way around Lake Christy, go down into the quarry to check it out. S back to E to D to pole line (take 5ft hole again) to G to B, and back to the parking lot.

That should pretty much take most of the day. Trail 2 is a good club trail. Even though it is marked blue, there are bypasses, and you can also take 1 or 1b in the middle. 1a is a technical green, meaning there are a bunch of rocks (small ones, relatively speaking) the entire trail.

All of the trails listed above are not overgrown, and are stock friendly. The northeast side is more open. I could give some trails on that side as well.

 

Yes 1a is just constant small rocks. Very very bumpy and you have to go very slow. I did it once, I was annoyed at the end. Lol

Don't forget to try the north east property! It's $10 extra but worth it.

 

We did that last year on the 2nd day,it was a definitely worth it!
