Also everybody keep in mind there is more to do then wheeling if anybody wants too.
They may have the gun range open back up by then, got the lake to go fishing, boating, swimming, have a disc golf course on the lake, and you can hunt for bigfoot.

They have both but its still currently closed and has been closed all last year also. Stray bullets were ending up on the Sawmill trail. But there planning a re route for the Sawmill trail so they can open it back up. Dont know when they plan on doing it though.
Deposit placed on new engine, 2-3 weeks to build it, then another couple weeks to swap it out. Now I just have to break the news to my wife. Going to see about making it a family camping trip.
You can count me and my gf in just gotta make sure the work schedule works out. I doubt ill get sas finished on the explorer by then, id love to "break" it in at uwharrie but ill have the ranger so count us in
haha yeah thanks for the pm ive heard alot of things about uwharrie im going to bring the ranger unless i buy this 03 sport im looking at then ill have to test it out but either or im only running 33's how much does that limit me too on the trails? The ranger i can beat around in and go hard on dents and scratches only build character lol but the sport i kinda dont want to beat it up to bad at least not with the gf there she'll be like "I told you we should've drove your truck its all ready beat up and scratched now you have 2 ugly dented trucks" lol but we look forward to coming and meeting you guys and having a great time
You'll be ok with 33s. If you have lockers you'll be better. I have a 2001 Ranger on 35s with lockers and did everything I wanted to do with it. The only issue I did have, other than my tires going into my fender wells in the rear and chewing up the side walls, was the wheel base. Being a supercab I almost drug on every flood break they have built up. So I had to go slow over them.
Last year Brandon in his explorer with 33s did good. You should be fine which ever one you bring, but I do recommend rocker protection of some sort.
BTW. Just go ahead and bring the Ranger. I'd love to wheel with another Ranger. We were supposed to have another Ranger with us last year, but our communication with him wasn't good and they were on different trails than us.
Burns, did you send that guy with the purple/blue Ranger from last year a PM too?
