I've got pics of all this stupid **** too. You can't make this **** up.
Thats what do, none of that roof top tent buisness like overlanders. We divide our needed gear among our rigs and sleep on the ground in a tent.TBItoy said:IMO
Part of being prepared for wheeling like that is packing your camping gear like you were hiking, in a good hiking backpack.
Nowhere in TN that you can take a vehicle is more than an 2 day hike back to civilization.
there are bears up there too for real. Seen a fewoffroadohio said:Thats what do, none of that roof top tent buisness like overlanders. We divide our needed gear among our rigs and sleep on the ground in a tent.

We all still have to get our wives and 2 kids each 12 hours home in these things . Nope, not for metonybolton said:LOL....I'd probably have no doubts about wheeling THAT! Super nice rig man!!! My XJ was good....but only Craigslist good.
First off, awesome, secondly, hand gps or bigger dash mounted or just a map and a compass? I'm mainly talking about getting back out if you're a day in and not sure where you areoffroadohio said:No doubt there are but its no differant than doing a back country hike also camping in tackett wilderness or an establisher campground will depend where we are when it gets dark.
Last trip we managed to dtive past a roach motel nearly every night so camping was minimal, but trip before that we back country camped all 4 nights
We do the whole trip without any plans. Just places we want to go ride. Omce we get in the area we start looling at paper maps and just make random turns

. Tons of fun that trip. Lot of carnage I broke the rear driveshaft out twice. Between the both of us we cobbled it together both times. Fun fun.fordcontraption01 said:Sounds like my trips to Tackett creek. I have pulled my gooseneck trailer all the way back to where the big ditch is or where there was a bridge and they tore it out. Unhooked from it and drove the tow rig back up to the main road going to the look off to get my 79 which was broken in the middle of the road. This was another trip we took on New Year's Eve. We wheeled our usual up there and there was this pretty much a bottomless pond. We would mud in it . Brian was with us in a big huge Rockwell ranger with a diesel 4 banger in it which was a great crawler rig but didn't have any business in the pond because it was lacking whoomp pow. Anyway he goes in and sinks way up over the 44 boggers and it just wont do it so I hook to him in reverse for me and I'm backing up pulling him out and then boom front driveline punches a hole through my floor between my feet. I'm like what the hell is going on here. My rockwells were set up as radious arm and my tubbing bent under all pressure from reverse so my rockwell was pointing down. Any how we pulled the driveline and I drove the rest of the day in 2 wd we went to the sand caves and met some other people and they were asking what happened I told them. One of them had a battery welder setup and was like I can weld that back together for you I said no don't worry about it. This is where I should have said please weld that back up for me. They left we stayed and bullshited by a fire for awhile it was damn cold too. I made the mistake of not dissconecting my front brake line so we get out of the caves and are heading back down the main road. Rockwell brakes chatter and grab and just raise hell when they are pinion braked. Were going along and boom the front tires are under the cab and we're going down a pretty steep hill. I open the door and I'm like oh I'm screwed how the heck am I going to fix this much bad **** here right here. I had a buddy stay with it I borrowed his crawler to drive out and to my house over an hour away dropping people off also because they were cold and done with the day. I end up throwing his rear driveline out a couple miles from my house and broke the output off his t case and I'm having to run back down the road picking up pieces to his truck. It's a long story on from here but it's a good one.
