I'm glad to hear that you are almost done, but in your haste don't forget to buy and install front and rear bumpers and a winch.  Wouldn't want your allignment to be off!

NY,

I just got back from Coal Creek/Windrock in Tennessee. I have stock gears with 33x12.50 TSL Radials and I never had a problem with running out of motor. I went up a very steep hill that a sammy couldnt because he bogged down and he had 31's on his. I will put gears in mine but now I know I can do it when I get a chance. Youll be able to hit most trails with no problem with stock gears.

Bill,
Was that trail 7 your talking about? It's an awesome climb
Zig

He didnt make it up trail 7 either    . Hes got my map when I get it back Ill let you know what it was. It was just dirt and no rocks but it was very steep! Rattle Rock and trail 14 were no-no's for all of us lol. There was a small stairstep by the top of 14 I got up with not much problem. I didnt get to try 7 because it was late night and I went to sleep when they left. Hope next time we can meet up and hit the trails.

If you do 7 do it in the middle of the day You dont get the same oh S|removethispart|@#t effect at night. It's not that technical, just seat bitting steep and long

Bill,
I just remembered the trail number. Was it 21 that you were on? If it was you would remember the drop into the creek bed Are you from the Tennessee area? If so will you be coming to the Dixie Run in Tellico?
Zig

Zig,

I live in SE Indiana, but my wife has family in Oak Ridge area and we have a lot on the Clinch river. I wont make it to NC this year but I will be down for the Dixie run at Coal Creek next year. When I get my map back Ill find out what trail that was. We all made a mistake and went down the trail to see the waterfall and got all jammed up in that little area. Not enough room for 6 rigs down there. Oh yeah I did see an awsome piece of machinery though. It had a Jeep grill , a GM V6 ,some kind of frame with tubing for the sides and top, wooden lift blocks  , and a wooden box in the back for a rider/cargo. It was sitting there on a pull off with nobody arourd. A while later we seen it on another trail with no one in sight.

Later dude,
Bill
