Had a chance to go to Uwharrie. Last minute plan came about with a friend.

We hit the easier trails and were not able to stay too long. My buddy was in his stock '05 4-Runner. He got hung up a few times due to his limited clearance but did pretty well with what he had to work with.
Here are some photos:

On our way to URE.

Looking back to see how my buddy is doing.

Crossing the log bridge.

A little rear flex.

Climbing.

Climbed!

Entering the water/mud pit (not in the deepest part or I would have never made it out!)

Snorkel time!

Yes, Frankenlift premium CRD lift with 265/70-16 Nitto Terra Grapplers.
The spare tire is from my last set of tires (Interco Trxus 235/85-still have the other 4 in the basement waiting on the day I get an extra set of wheels).

Is a snorkel anywhere on you wish list, Linewarbler?
It seems to stand out more than I would prefer on my white bus but I love being able to hear the turbo release from it!!
Well that and not worrying when I do go through a little bit of that there high quality h2o.

I like them a lot! They do rub a bit at full lock but I was used to that from the 235's. The above pictures are the hardest I have wheeled with them. They did very well for what I did. I think real mud would be a problem but have not tested that aspect out yet. Luckily that water hole I went through was not real soft and not too slick. I really like their on road performance too. Nice, smooth and quiet.

Yes, getting closer quicker than I expected. I'll let you know when I know the date of arrival or departure.
I forgot that the date is coming up for our passes to expire. I'll have to get our stuff together and give you a shout. Appreciate your help with these passes!
