Carolina Backwoods

[GregFrench]

Has anybody done this place yet? I think we should maybe add a trip. Sure, it's not Uwharri or anything, but it is close by.
If we don't want to make it an official club event, does anybody want to join me one weekend to check it out?

I would like to go just to check it out. I'm not for much mud, but I may go anyway someday...

Maybe a decent place but it is probably more atv biased. Greg or seaman let us know what you think

Been there, mud, mud and more mud. If it hasn't rained the guy pumps water from the pond to make...you guessed it, MUD.

Flat trails and cut through pine thickets, guaranteed pin striping.

The obstacles are old concrete pipes and pilings. Watch for re-bar.

My mudding days are over. i don't care to destroy my 40 in that stuff.

 

[GregFrench]

It looked muddy and flat in the pics. I guess it might be a good day trip for us northern boys, though.

 

[greenseaman]

It would be fun just to watch... Don't know if my little 4runner could handle the mud. Especially not until I get the detroit and 4:88s in. Then maybe it'll be able to spin the mud out of the slick all terrains.

Mud runs are ok. My FJ62 may be a good truck for this

I would never run an automatic through mud and water. They just don't mix well unless it is an old bulletproof Ford C6 tranny.

If you do, plan on a complete tranny fluid drain and filter cleaning.

or run your vent tubes up higher so you dont have to drain it every time and refresh.... much cheaper and easier to relocate the vent tubes higher on vehicle.

Most autos are electrical driven in some way or another. You can run vent tubes all you want and then slosh around in the mud, but I won't unless I have a manual tranny or an old non-electronic auto that has been reamoved, sealed properly, and vented properly. It's just not worth it.

Same thing goes for all those fancy electronic sensors for VSC, ATRAC, TRAC, ABS, etc. I would never take any vehicle equiped with those items and bury it in the mud.

I would take a 60 through the mud all day long, but not a 62.

[Brock]

we are still trying to get you to take a mysterious 40 on a dirt road...

 

[BELMONT148]

Come on up and go for a ride then?

You don't mind riding on a milk crate do you?

Jeremy

 

[Brock]

two things I never do anymore....ride on milk crate in someones car and join them in the back seat! I have to draw the line somewhere...

 

[BELMONT148]

Then you will have to wait until I get back and give me a weekend to burn some tube for the seat cradle and mount my new seats.

I didn't think there was anything you didn't do in the back seat.
