threeb and lilcsaw,
I live in Haw Creek in East Asheville. Where do you go to 4 wheel? Have you been up to Couch Mtn? We just got a 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport XJ. It is not running at the moment but hope to have it fixed shortly. Do either of you know much about engines? I am no mechanic by no means and need a lot of help. I put on a brand new battery, starter/solenoid and new engine coil. I checked all fuses and all seem good. The starter relay under the dash is clicking when turning the ignition. We are trying to take off the neutral safety switch to clean and see if that's the problem. I am not sure where to go from here. What would you do next? Maybe we all could get up and hit the woods soon!

Just got it to turn over. I am so damn happy! But now trying to see why it is not staying running. I'm right around the corner from you! I am near the Tunnel Road fire department/ East Asheville Library.

We are trying to get back out to rough butt its near WCU in syliva. Shout at me when you get ready to go again and I'll give you a shout when we get a chance. Between kids activities and daily schedules it seems like the trips get farther apart.

My husband and I worked on it till it was to dark to see. We changed the fuel pump and it is so close to starting! I have a friend that lives near there David, would this be the same friend?

Have either of you been to Couch Mountain? We used to go when we were in high school (I know that was a while ago..........) but was wanting to hit that again. We went to a place out if Fletcher a couple Sunday's ago. I wish Tellico was still open! :(
As soon as we can get this Jeep running we would love to hit the trails with both of ya!

Not David. I have been to couch mtn once. The guy I went with has since told me they have stopped letting people go I guess there was a few who abused it. There is calientia (misspelled it I'm sure) its near boone they say its pretty good with bypasses on the things you may not want to do.

We have it up and running! I am so stoked! We were able to get it running Friday afternoon. We are going to go somewhere this coming weekend. Would love to get up and play? Not sure were to go? We got an invite to Couch Mtn but was told you have to have something that has a pretty big lift on it to get around. I don't remember it being that way when I was in high school. But that has been a while ago! LOL Our Jeep is not street legal so we will have to tow it to where ever we go. Any suggestions? Want to come play Saturday or Sunday?

Yes Hurricane Crk is one of the ones we go to more often than not. I wanted to go to the Gluches but it just was not possible this week. Is it friendly for all levels? We also go to Ruff Butt out near WCU its a great ride also.

Another Swannanoa Resident checking in. I know of some private land down near Linville that we could prolly use too if ya'll don't mind wheeling with some yota and rover folks.

Also if you're in the Black Mountain area, stop by the Advance Auto Parts and say hey.

And yes, we all should make a time and a place and meet up! If we can find a tow dolly (our Jeep is not street legal) we will go this weekend. But if not we will have to wait till next weekend. Will send a shout out Friday night to see if we were able to get a tow dolly and see who would want to go Saturday or Sunday!

Okay, I'm a chick and not sure but what is M&G? But yes, me and my husband would love to meet y'all at Hooters to grub!

And while we are on the chick subjects. Do any of you have wives or girlfriends that like to go 4 wheeling? None of my girlfriends like or can go so it would be cool to meet some chicks that like this. But either way I usually always go with my husband and his friends to do out doors stuff. And I thank God he doesn't mind! :thumbsup:
(m&g)= meet & greet

Yes my girl friend gets mad at me if I don't take her. And we've got a few girls In the trail jammers club that enjoy it too.

FYI
The "Flats" ECORS race is March 12 and 13 in Marion, NC.



This is a great event to go watch and will give you an idea of the trails the flats has to offer. This video really only shows the playground, none of the trails.

But again... hot wings and cold beer... we got a date in mind for that?
