Well I've been passing this trail everyday on my way to work and decided to go back and check it out, looks to be an ATV playground but still nice little drive, no REAL obstacles just some ruts, downed trees and some nice scenery. Either way I'm a dork and had to take some pics of her back in the woods with her new shoes on:

OK, Moab qualifies as amazing, but we all secretly take "regular" pics of our obsession, heck many of us are so dorky, we've taken and posted pics when our mileage turns over to a repeating number ....like I posted mine when it hit 66,666...only to find like 5 other VXers had pics of that too, and some had done it multiple times i.e. 44,444, 55,555 etc....now tell me that isn't dorky!! :laugho:

Now poor Jo (and the ORW), IIRC, hasn't even had an opportunity to experience this yet as he bought his after 11,111, and hasn't yet reached 22,222.....but it should be close!
T/J over....:mbrasd:

lol me too, I just need to find a place to do it around here. I haven't had a whole lot of time to go "exploring" since the move, still getting settled in and getting back to work. Trust me, I have no problem putting it through some fun, just need to find some places to do it haha. I'm hoping to get out to Ocala National Forest soon and go through those trails, get some pics for ya'll.

stealing the thread for a moment.. did you happen to take it to wally world or his bastard affiliate, Savin Sam's? :mado: They won't touch anything if its not stock... Sears on the other hand... no question's asked!

Discount Tire=Good. They'll wiggle on the prices too

Ya some shops won't touch it if the tire size your getting isn't stock and/or the truck is modified. Pepboys, Sears, Discount, Express Tire (in Cali), Firestone and Big 10 never gave me problems. Walmart actually hasn't either but the only modified vehicle I actually brought in was my 98' Z71 to have Swampers mounted, I usually carry my tires/wheels in to them since they are the cheapest for mounting/balancing around here, $10 a wheel.

Dude, we are having a Zu meet in July in GA. There are gonna be 20 or 30 trucks. Jwood is coming up from Orlando area, maybe you guys could convoy up to this area, and then we are all driving together toward the park, and then meeting a few other trucks on the way. I trailer mine, so I would be the lead vehicle. Let me know what you think, or if you need more info.

Is that for the beasley knob trip or for the uwharrie one? I need to see when it is but would LOVE to go, just gotta do the logistics. Still getting caught up from our move and then have to spend 2 weeks in Minnesota in June, blah. PM me the info and thanks for the invite!
