This trip will be to rich mtn trail near Hot Springs. We'll meet at Weaverville bojangles & leave around 8:30, it takes several hours to complete just like hurricane creek did. This trail is moderate but will have a few technical areas...We've got the stock jk stuck here in 2 different spots. Stock jeeps will make it through with a little coaching. As always we will stop & have our hot dog lunch.
Edit=our pics of this ride are on p13 thru p15 of this thread.
How technical is technical? lol If the wife and kids dont come i may try to bring the TJ, but dont want to rip the fenders off quite yet! lol it only has a 1.25" BL on it now with 33's...the rest is stock suspension.
Otherwise, count me as a maybe! :rofl:
*note to self* go ahead and put in new rear locker!
You will have areas that flex the suspension fully, but a stock jeep could do the whole trail. I will run 90% of the trail in 2wd low range, although i have a locker in the rear.
uhmmm....yeah...can't full flex with it, tires mash into the fenders, i ran it thru a ditch after the BL and i thought i was gonna rip off the left rear as it was, and i'm pretty sure she was nowhere near full flex.

Trying to find NC fender laws....i'm not finding much! as in, i dont think they are actually required! I may just pop'em off and see how much it can flex then! haha! The only thing i cant get over about cutting the stockers are if I ever sell it, that person may want to put them back on.

Thats awesome!!! You found the same trail i was talking about.
I'll have to show you a video of us in the same mud hole with a 4d jk on 35's, he blew out a tire trying to gas it out of that hole.
Woohoo! Ordered my lift today! 4 inches and it should be here by Friday so I can work on getting it on this next weekend. Small SNAFU though...the wife is going out of town on that Friday to a work seminar! So the determining factor on me going will depend on if Gramma will watch them.
"Either it's part of your suspension or a dinosaur bone..." Well it looks like you dug half way to china so i'm thinking dinosaur bone! lol Nice vid Cwmedic!

Hmmm... There may be a rock or something in there. After reviewing another video, I noticed my front wheels dropped significantly farther into the mud at about that distance.
We ran out of time also because we weren't sure where the main section of trail was. We hit all the little side trails before we made it to the main one. That hole was the farthest we got.
That's un-american, what kinda jeep drivin candler girl doesn't like hot dogs.
If you dont want your hot dog we'll give it to cwmedics dog after her lunchtime performance, but you should eat more than just chips for lunch. :2thumbsup:
