Re: Anyone go to Uhwarrie April 16-18???

I ended up going. I towed my Toyota up there with my K5. Wasn't planing on wheeling the K5, but a 4 door Tahoe,@96 to 98 year, broke something in the front diff and then coming up Kodak, bypass, stripped out the rear diff. I was going to leave out, but he had kids with him and didn't want the kids to be out there at night. Long story short...I got my K5 and towed it from Kodak to the double parking lot. Pretty interesting. My camera guy didn't even snap a few for me. He's been fired!
Didn't see any other K5's out there from the board, but ran into BigOrangeK5(ASH) and BJ, forgot his user name. I talked with them for awhile. Ash was up there with the Suzuki crowd. Good to meet others from this board.

This my Toy that I just finished building the last week of March. I took it up to URE the opening weekend for it's maiden trailride. Didn't even do any wheeling locally to really test it out. But, everything worked good. I decided to take up to URE for the Suzuki thing. A friend of mine has a Samurai and he wanted to go see all of rigs up there.

If the truck would have been like it is now, I sure as hell would have been there. Anyone planning on going anytime soon. Weather sure is nice and want to do some camping as well.

I didn't make it for the 16 thru 18th. I did go this past weekend and weather was nice but dusty as a mofo! Even the ATV'ers had dust masks on! It was like 6 inches of powder up there. Be back up there in a couple weeks probably since I am only about an hour away. If anyone is going sometime let me know and we can meet up.

Re: Anyone go to Uhwarrie April 16-18???

Hell yeah I went. I put some MAJOR scars on the Zuk.

Here's the list:

Dented items:
framerail
gas tank skid plate
pass. side rocker panel
forward rear leaf spring hanger

DESTROYED items:
transmission crossmember

other notables:
cut another tire (IT DIDN'T GO FLAT THIS TIME, AND IT WASN'T AT ELDORADO OUTPOST)
scratched the front bumper (that's a joke)


Sadly enough, all of this happened to the Zuk on one obstacle...Kodiak rock.

I overheard a guy say I couldn't get up the first ledge that's like 3' tall. I have video proof that I did get up it. It kinda made me feel bad that I could go ALMOST anywhere those other Zuks did sitting stock height on 29" tires.

6" of dust you say. Yeah, that sounds about like Uwharrie. I have been up there when it rained pretty good the night before and there was still dust everywhere. I live about 45 minutes from uwharrie, and try to go there as much as I can. Next time I plan a trip I will let you know and we can go wheeling.
