I see into the Future: Tellico Summer 2005

[rino351]

you will

Who?

 

[XplorerKid]

that's a bit far for me to say i will have an open seat. i usually do though since my wife isn't much into the sport.

Hmmm, i asked you like a week ago, and you said sure, oh well we will see, if not im sure soem one is gunna have an open seat, hoepfully JTX will still come!

 

[jasonb]

see kid.. i told you i can't plan stuff.. i don't even remember you asking me that. and i'm not even that old yet. i probably will have an open seat. i usually do.

rino... about half the rigs you'll see at tellico are chopped trail only rigs. and i mean chopped big time!

 

[GJarrett]

Yep, 90-95% of the rigs that run Tellico have at least 35" tires, and probably 50% have 40"+ tires. And any rig that runs Tellico often ends up without much bodywork fairly quickly . There is a lot of what we call hybrids that run there that are not much more than a cab with an open flatbed.

 

[JoshC]

You going to try to make it Gerald? You never know, i may need another tow, lol. Lets hope not!

 

[GJarrett]

That's way too far ahead to plan, I don't know what I'm doing next week, lol. But yeah, if the weekend that is picked works out I'll be there for sure. I'm only three hours away so I can go anytime I want to as long as it doesn't conflict with prior plans.

 

[JoshC]

3 hours away, man must be nice!

Hope you can make it man. We need to forward this to Rick (bionicmarsh) so he can make plans in the future too.

Cool
I just think that would be FUN

Ive been reading a little about Tellico, and was wondering if there will be different groups going on different rated trails? Ill probably stick to the 1, 2 and 3 (I think this is right) trails, even though i will have new tires.

Also, im making plans for the new tires, are mud terrains a must for Tellico?

 

[jasonb]

mud terrains help but i've watched a guy in revos do everything we did. also josh adams has BFG ATs and does everything we do just fine, except for the culvert! if it rains, the MTs will help. if its dry, it won't matter THAT much.

depending on the attendance (which has yet to be high for a tellico trip planned on this forum) we could do multiple groups. we'll plan more a little closer to then though.

 

[big351bronc]

Sounds good

 

[Vozar]

Im up for some some of the harder tellico trails. I will probably be making a run out there before this run. We will see what i can and cant do.

 

[XplorerKid]

As of Now, i def. Wont be there with an Explorer, maybe soemthing else though.....

LOL, seems like anytime Tellico is brought up, so does my culvert, lol. But its all good. Like Jason says, BFG ATs are good, but an AT is the least aggressive tread I would go with up there. My truck with the ATs is, as Gerald calls it, "a great sleeper on the trail." But I would recommend MT's of some sort, just for that extra traction on the true slick rocks of Tenn/NC mountains.

I am gonna try and be on 35s by then. But I have to get some glass fenders for the front.

Sign me up if the timing is right. Bring on that culvert again. LOL

 

[JoshC]

... Bring on that culvert again. LOL

I'll remember to get my video camera out, that was funny! Oh what fun we had.

This trip is so far away yet i'm so excited, haha, yeah i know sad. I'm leaving very soon from this crap hole of a sand box and i'll be home to finish working on my junk and i'll be ready.

I bought a 2000 F250 PSD a couple of weeks ago and i've bought an 18' car trailer too, so i'm ready and i can't wait.

 

[Josh Adams]

Josh, glad you'll be coming home soon man.

 

[JoshC]

Josh, glad you'll be coming home soon man.

You ain't the only one!

 

[nissanboy]

is this still in the works? If it is i am all for making it happen.

And ill eb on some 36's for the run
