I've never seen on mine. They are Zarges.

New build? How's that pretty shepherd doing ?

Once you turn off of hwy 19, most of the roads here could be classified as a moderate 6 to difficult. Not sure about the trails in this area, but I would try south of hwy 40. The areas here above 40 to tennessee are still in search and recovery mode.

Update on the situ here in WNC; Used the rig to pull 9 vehicles 1 mile through a destroyed road. I'd give it a rating of 8. These were minivans, sprinters and the like. A church group from Raleigh were stuck at a Christian retreat with no power, water, little food. 2 women are very pregnant -...

Agreed. Until the fuel station can't pump due to lack of power. Happening here, now. No power for 8 counties. We're on high ground, so no problem. I was happy with that until I was helping a neighbor in the next holler over dig his Tractor out after the hillside slid away taking 2 very large...

Got it. Have a 2k inverter in the rig. Also, pulling the Jackery out has 110v. We've been putting it all to good use.

I never thought of overlanding as preparation for a natural disaster, like what we are experiencing here in western NC. Yancey County has been hit pretty hard with a 29 inch rain fall in 30 hrs. We will be without power until "hopefully " mid October. Having the gear that many think is...

Life has a way of doing that. Every 3rd Saturday....

Setting up at Rigs and Coffee-WNC!

On here. We do a few others that are spur of the moment and probably too short notice to post. Drop a note if you're going to be in the area, and we'll try to organize something.

Always looking for rallys in the SE. I'll watch for any you might start! We do a good bit in NC, TN, KY areas. The outer banks is a favorite to get some surf fishing in (heading there very soon). My favorite area is Cumberland Gap /Daniel Boone NF in KY for amazing trails. We just completed...

More recently, I had a trans "built" specifically for offroad abuse. I installed it, and a new Derale fan cooled trans cooler. Ran braided stainless lines and all. Put the AN-8 adapters in the trans and cracked the housing. Learned about tapered fittings that day. Ruined a $3500 trans. Had to...

Pre trip i always do about a week or so out, in case i need parts. The mid trip inspection is something I do every morning before hitting the trails. Found a CV going away just before leaving camp (2 weeks ago in Uhwarri) to hit some difficult rated trails. Would have been bad.

If anyone needs the camp location... 35.44659, -80.02142

Glad to hear he's doing OK. If you make it, we're in the same site as last year.

Camp is set up at Uwharrie NF, NC. Looking forward to a few days of camping, fishing, and of course the trails.

Setting up at our 1st rigs and Coffee-WNC!

Noticed the front end getting a bit wonky in the curves. Found it.
