Thank you sir but it won't do it without weight on the tires

 

Well that sucks. driveshaft??? or u-joints maybe

 

I'm thinking someone stuck a t-case from a manaul on the back of an automatic cause the input gear is really short like the .750 one but I got a lot more shaft coming out of the transmission. What do you think? I believe there just barely mating up.

 

So here it goes...

I just read through "almost" 160 some pages of posts in this thread today... I've only passed through the area a few times is all and I'd like to know where some places to wheel are within say 2-3 hours of downtown Chattanooga... ? So far I've made a list of these:

Prentice Cooper
Lewis Chapel
Adventure off road park
Aetna (still open?)

My "lady friend" and I are considering moving to Chattanooga next year.. and it's highly likely we will. Im from Washington State.. the one in the Northwest I travel across the US for work and met a gal basically.

With that being said, wheeling has been a hobby of mine for over a decade. My wheelin rig is kept in WA where I frequently visit just to wheel and catch up with friends. I'm used to very tight trails, rocks, roots, trees and snow... about the only thing i'm not used to is the type of mud ya'll have

I guess Im lookin for some ideas of places to go... I'm up for anything... from very difficult to just scenic dirt road cruising and camping in the area. I'll post up a pic of my wheelin rig and DD for now.. gonna get a new Tundra soon

Any advice or suggestions greatly appreciated!

 

Most recent pic of wheelin rig before the rear window was fixed lol....

 

Guess i need to learn how to edit pics on my phone... i cant upload any pic of my nice xj ive taken... newb lol

 

#2 try...

 

Don't forget about Windrock,its only about a hour north of here,its the best place around IMO.

As far as mud,its not as bad as most make it out to be unless its been raining a lot and you can forget about snow because its not sticking about for long at all around here .It might snow every 3-4 years good enuff to stick around past noon...oh and be ready for the heat of summer because it gets HOT.

 

Thanks for the input! I'll have to look it up!

As far as the heat goes my g/f and I have been living just outside Memfrica... so I'm familiar with your summer heat, although seems this year was mild or so I've heard.

 

Welcome sir, Im the SE admin on the forum, and live here in Chattanooga basically.

You basically got it, within a reasonable distance we have:
Windrock
Lewis Chapel
Big Fork
Prentice Cooper (Not much to it)
Aetna
Adventure Offroad

A little further out we have a good bit of well known areas
Harlan KY
Chocoloco
Gulches

 

missing a few that are alot closer

Adventure ORV, Hale Mtn, Hollytree, Morris Mtn, Hawk Pride ORV, Stoney Lonesome.


Basically, Chattanooga is a great place to be if you like to ride!

 

OP mentioned AOP but nobody has mentioned Golden Mountain. Great spot about an hour and a half from Chattanooga. I'd say Grayrock but it's only open for special events these days.

 

And Durhamtown Tellico too.

 

Me and couple of jeeping buddies are going to AOP on October 11th -12th. Anybody wanna come hang out all weekend? Come join us.

 

Thanks guys! I'll look into all of them
