I'll probably be there early to mid afternoon, in the 2-3:00 range.

Jutty-gotta wait for some of us-I want to watch lower 2!

 

I'm thinkin' Sunday morning for Lower 2. We are flexible.

 

I might could watch that-most of my Sunday morning will be packing up the camper b/c checkout is 12:00.

 

Hmmm..have to think about that. Hitting it Saturday would always work too.

 

I'll be there...on 37s!

 

How about hitting it late Saturday afternoon?

 

Works for me

 

So, Ive never been to Tellico, but always wanted to go. Is this open to anyone?

 

It's open to anyone with a 4x4 yota and even some less fortunate guys without a yota.

 

You said it!

 

How tough is this trail going to be speaking for a pretty much stock 4Runner.

 

check out the info... it's not just one trail, it's 10. there will be anthing from dirt/gravel roads to noting but huge rocks depending on the trails. you can do a search on here for some pics of rides and also at http://www.4rnr.net/action a google search will turn up lots of pics and descriptions as well.

you'd do fine on the moderate stuff w/ no worry of damage except for only a couple spots. a good spotter will help with those areas. you can also ride w/ someone on the more difficult stuff if you want.

jutty... lower 2 is the easier side and upper 2 (Rock Garden) the nastier stuff, right????

 

Lower 2 is the Rock Garden and Upper is "bobsled" if I remember right. It will be a good test for my new suspension

Edit to add: Steve emailed me back and we have a site with the group.

 

cool...

anybody know if they have the canyon on 8 fixed yet? we haven't had much rain lately - pretty much hit an miss, but with ANY rain, that thing could be NASTY

 

You should be fine - I run the moderate stuff on 31's. The first 2 -3 times that I went I did not have sliders or any body lift and made it without problems. 90% of it is the driver and the right line anyway ! Don't be afraid to try - this is the best group of guy's that I've had the opportunity to meet. EVERYONE is interested in sharing and watching out for you. No man left behind ! Come enjoy yourself

Be prepared for your wallet to lighten though - there will be things that you will want to change ! You will be surprised at the ability of a stock 4 runner.

 

What Doc said and to add, if you decide you don't want to risk the trail you can always jump in with someone and ride. Just make it. I was a sorry S.O.B. missing the last trip.

 

Hey Jutty ! Glad your gonna make it - this time

Just show up and enjoy yourself - if you want to ride with someone before committing your runner to the trail - that's a smart thing to do and it won't be a problem. There is lot's to be learned by just listening to the talk, looking at other's 4 runners and becoming a part of the group. Night's around the campfire are just as good as the wheeling. We be drinkin some beer, eating good food and laughing. as stated before - great people

 

yeah, bring some steaks and potatoes to throw on the grill along w/ a few brews and you'll be a happy camper...

 

Dang I want to go sooo badly. I wanted to go last spring but money was tight. This year it will be on my b-day and the 20th is my parents 25th wedding anniversary. I might see if my gf will let me go as my bday gift he he.

 

Steve Crawford just called me and confirmed my camping spot near the creek
with the 4 runner group. woo hoo - I'm as good as there already !

My brother-n-law ( Tory ) may bring his brother - another Jeep driver.
I've wheeled with both of them and they are good people - looks like my camp site is full. I'll attempt to bring some firewood with me.
