The brush guards and snorkel are on the D1. A few short weeks, the lift, tires, diff guards and sliders will be on and it will be time to play! 5/20/2006 10:47:02 PM |

I'd be willing to go this weekend for a day trip as long as we just do the kiddie trails.
(aka nothing requiring skid plates or body damage)

dude, i drove a stock spankin jeep grand cherokee and toyota 4runner on every single trail at unf, NO body damage as long as your careful, and only go down daniel (and MAYBE kodak). 6/1/2006 11:40:16 AM |
Maugan All American 18178 Posts user info edit post |
really its not the body damage I'm worried about, I can fix any dents in my cladding with a heat gun.
its the lack of skid plates I'm worried about. I had a couple dents in my ole troop's skids last time I went out there and it had more clearance than the VX (but a much longer wheelbase, so who knows I might be ok)
I really want to give the nitto's a try offroad. 6/1/2006 11:48:29 AM |

yall shouldn't really be worried about body damage. if you're not trying harder lines and you take bypasses you should be fine, in my opinion 6/1/2006 6:23:36 PM |

As of right now we are planning on going Sunday. I would be leaving from the shop in durham early, like 7 or 8ish. 6/1/2006 7:06:05 PM |

haha, another one converted. i was on the straight and narrow fast car thing until i hit uwharrie and tellico my first times. sold my other fast junk and my one left (duster) has been in the garage mostly since.
oh, and if you buy a locker just for uwharrie you're a fawkin huge bitch 6/1/2006 10:03:43 PM |

Ive got my OME lift on order and the diff guards from Rovertym. Needless to say, I look forward to doing alot more at Uwharrie in the future. 6/1/2006 10:08:34 PM |

i dont need a locker JUST for uhwarrie, but it would be nice to drive up kodak and not around it next time.

yeah ive done it and seen it done in more than a couple cars with open diffs....its all about the finesse, momentum, and dropping the foot when you need to....lockers on any normal vehicle (not a trail specific one) are pretty stupid in my opinion6/2/2006 9:51:03 AM |

different vehicles are just plain different
the shop is RCH (where I work)
