"Toughing it out" at Charlotte motor speedway Friday to Sunday at turn 4 campground

I can't get there any earlier than about 4ish. Still got the work thing, and it's nearly 3hrs from here.

Dana 35 is used in the second generation Explorer. Same as the 30, just the chunk without axle tunes. It's also high pinion, so no reverse gearing.

Replaced the boots on the outer cv joints. We're split and slinging grease.

Thought about booking site 10, but after talking to "Rust problem " and "aka.kletus", we're going to primitive camp down near the river Friday night, the catch up with the rest on Sat morning. Just need to find the start point/ time from @Apdski. We'll have coms.

I have to leave Burnsville on Wednesday. I volunteered for a few hrs Thursday and Friday. Will be camping inside as well.

Hey Greg, I'm heading to expo east on Wednesday. When are you heading that way?

I will be in the area for the September meet-up. Hope to see some of the East folks there! I'm usually at the Charlotte Rigs and coffee. -Dan

You bet... Send a note ahead next time you're in the area. Maybe we can meet up for a trail run or 3 :) -Dan

+1 on the solid primary, dashed secondary. Also (there it is @Ubiety) maybe just float a "4/10" like a trail name for the difficulty? Otherwise, the summary card option is probably mor fun... Surprise! it's a 9!

Like the bottle opener, lots of support for those tough Sam Adams bottles :)

@Michael - Looks awesome! Question, Will the route planning be available on the website as well? Us older guys can use the pixel real estate :) -Dan

What area are you traveling in / to? If you're still in eastern TN area, look up Hot springs, nc, Neal Barnett Rd if it's open. 35.91218, -82.78869 is the entrance off hwy 25. Run that up to Shad rd. That will give you a combined 20+ miles off-road with many primitive campsites areas. If Neal...

The overloads try to keep the springs from curving beyond "flat". If you're bottoming out, the springs are not stout enough. Remember, springs hold the body up, shocks hold it down.

The overloads are there to keep the spring pack from going the other way and pulling apart. If the locating pin and ubolts are lo g enough I would add 1 leaf In and run that for a bit. You can add the coilover shocks, but that really is just to help against fast compression of the shock.

Same here. We were there in June and it was spotless. Saw very few people except for the occasional rental SxS .

N&S closed Nemo as of July 3, 2022. Guy stalled over the rails and truck got hit. Occupants are ok, but truck is totaled.

The truck icon (OB logo?) or the 4wd icon referenced above by OTH would be preferable to a bike. Also as pointed out, a "Caution" about non-motorized trail possibilities would be good enough to get started. Maybe input from members as the app is used could be gleaned to fine-tune the maps/layers...

This one was a bit overgrown... but fun
