Raleigh North Carolina and surrounding areas

If you're willing to stop between CLT and Raleigh I'd reccomend Apex Overland in Gboro. Give them a call and schedule something they do lifts and stuff all day and kinda specialize in the Yotas.

 

thanks!

 

So what’s the best resource to find off roading locations/camping?

I’m new to the trailing seen

 

URE, AOP, Windrock, Patriot Offroad, Gulches for a few parks in a reasonable distance. The SC guys do Gorges, Horse Pasture, and Chesnutt mtn(?) overland camping rides.

 

thank you!

 

Hey all! I’m Lee and new to the off roading community.

I’m about to do my first build and want to connect with some people in the area to go on trips with

I’m in NC. Traveling between Raleigh and Charlotte for now

I’m also a photographer and looking to take pictures of outdoor rigs, gear, camping, outdoor adventures, etc.

Im building my portfolio so the photos will be given for free

please let me know if you’re interested

look forward to meeting some of you

 

URE is a great place to begin, get with a group to go out and we well help you through obstacles and let you know what you should and shouldn't do, lots of things to do that aren't offroad as well.

Head up towards the mountains for great hikes and scenery on the Parkway too

 

Sounds good. Will Dm you my number. When are you going next?

 

I'm gonna need new tires soon. If anyone has some new-ish take-offs from a TRD OR that they are selling, please let me know. I don't need the wheels, tires only please.

 

I’ve got brand new ridge grapplers 265-75-16

Want to move to a 17in wheel

 

I've got some 315/70/17 KO2s.... Needing an excuse to put my 37s on...... @Tarheel22

 

Does anyone have a local source for pro grille and sensor?

 

Anyone got any 16" steel wheels. At some point I hit a rock and tore one of mine.

 

I think I have one.

 

I messaged a marketplace seller about a set for cheap. Think I could just weld this up

 

If I have one I'll just let you have it.

 

Appreciate it but It'll cost as much to pick it up as this set of 4 is.

 

If that doesn't pan out and I have it (gotta double check) I'll be in durham on sat.

 

@ovrlndkull I hope you're sitting down for this... Oliver's driveline just told me "[The front shaft for the Rover] isn't something we can build but we can get an aftermarket shaft that has 1310 ujoints rather than the factory."

Well no shit I can buy an aftermarket one as well.. I can also buy the parts to make one... Now who has a lathe and balancer I can borrow....

It sure looks like all the jeep ones they build, just with different ends..

 

Good to know, now I won't waste my time driving out there for them to bastardize my Toyota shafts with some spicer garbage.
