Well, after flooding the whole interior, having to clean that all up, developing a rear main seal leak as a result, spending $800 to get that fixed, then having to replace the transfer case 'cause it failed right after Ford gave my truck back, I'm a little hesitant to go "wheelin'" again. My truck has gone "off the road" plenty, but I think I've decided to stay away from "off-roading" until I can get something just for that purpose.

 

[slravene]

there are ways to fix that lift it...

 

[Foggman]

No sure how far away you guys are but Im in Va Beach, VA and am pretty tired of 4 wheelin here...it just sucks. If you guys meet up anywhere with in 2 hours of here I'd join ya

Believe you me, it was getting close to becoming one of the AWD to 4x4 swaps because I was having such a hard time finding the tcase. But when someone on the boards offered me one with half the miles for $200, that became the easy fix. Besides, I'd have had to lift it about 3 feet. No joke! I must say, I was impressed that the door seals held for 30-45 seconds, and actually kept the water from getting up to the same level inside as it was outside.

My "little" brother has a Tacoma, and really got into making it an offroad rig when he was in CO and CA. Between listening to him, and being on these boards, I'd really like to do it, but I've decided that I don't have the stomach for it unless I go get a truck for that sole purpose.

just dont "mud" it...there are plenty of mild trails in NC that wont twist your stomach at all.

Yeah, I know. It was just a bad situation when all I was trying to do was play a LITTLE after work. The guy on the cell phone gave me bad directions. *******! If I had been by myself, I wouldn't have done something so stupid.

 

[slravene]

ill tell you what...when URE opens back up, you can come ride with me once and you will see that not all wheeling is gut wrenching, make it or bust kind of deal. Alot of it can be just a cruise in the woods.

 

[rizzjc]

That's my style! And my brother and I have been talking about that. He's in Knoxville, so URE is about in the middle. My other thing was that I am nervous about something else popping up on my daily driver. My confidence in it is building again, after the flood. So much hit me when that happened, it was a little overwhelming for a vehicle that hasn't given me a minute of trouble in 9 years.

 

[Ren1010]

I'm in Thomasville. At the time

 

[jeephater#1]

[ih8chevy]

I'm in mooresville but have a stock truck. Can't do too much riding yet but will have it Tellico ready eventually.

 

[dmasini]

Just moved to Raleigh a month ago and I'm looking for some places to wheel (not too tough)...

 

[rizzjc]

Nothing "official" around here, that I know of, but there is an area off Ligon Mill in North Raleigh, near Wake Forest, where some like to go. Just be careful after the rain! (See avatar.) Other than that, everyone I know goes to URE.

 

[Dopler174]

I live in Greensboro. I have a place at Badin Lake and I am always willing to wheel. If you let me know ahead of time we can probably work it out so you can camp at my place and then go wheeling. I got my truck stuck kinda like yours once, It was in this small mud hole near a movie theatre. Nowhere near as deep at yours, Way more muddy. Still got mud in the truck and I've been cleaning for about 8 months on it.
