Idk about that...that coulda been b/c we hit moderate instead of easy first...



LOL. If we'd have used that map 1st, I might have stayed longer. but its funny that it happened to us anywayz. I'm sure all those yotas weren't surprised when we turned back around.



Lol!!! How's them sidesteps.

When I got home today I checked my frame rails. There was some dirt and scuffs on it but like I kept saying I was more worried about my gas tank. And rightly so, idk about the other models but the 3rd gen daks the tank hangs lower than the frame rails. There's lots of scuffs on my tank. I'd have lifted it more if they made a kit for mine...

Hey Zane, lol, when we turned around on the difficult trail and I backed into the root I thought you said I was good...lol. I'll have you know when I woke up this morn that was definitely positioned under the bumper.






Okay so we're flyin to get there on the service road. Who was that in front of me again...

I found out yesterday that the Treadwright tires are pretty awesome on rocks/steep dirt hills/trees and the BFG casings are great when you scrub the sidewall on rocks also.

This guy is 2wd.

His truck only made it about 8 truck lengths onto the trail from the service road.
So yeah, Uwharrie is not 2wd friendly.

That is my kind of trail riding. I don't think I'll ever go back to RC.

That red ram needs some work.

Was that because he is stock height or the tires.

And I cant wait until I get my tires so I can go trail riding again

I think it was because of the stock tires/suspension and an open diff.
It's a good thing he got stuck where he did though, if he had gotten deeper into the trail then he would have been taking parts home in the bed from hitting rocks and high-centering on all of the hills.
I smacked my rear diff and the transmission crossmember on rocks a few times.
