    Default 9-10-10 Beasley's Knob Offroad ride

    95 Grand Cherokee 3.5" lift, 33" tires, adjustable front lower control arms, and a flowmaster muffler.
    76 VW rail buggy 31" tires and a super loud exhaust.




    Didn't even make it out of my neighborhood before we had issues.



    Took a brake on top of Blood Mtn


    In the trails





    Random pics








    This one got a bit scary


    Carnage on the buggy

    Then latter on the generator went out and ran the battery down.

    I think I saw you role through Hiawassee ... or clayton... cant remember one or the other but I do recall seeing your ride with the absent doors in town. when I see a plate with White County written on it I think: "damn...prepare to drive really slow now".

    LOL about the plate I feel the same way. We drove up 129N to Beasley's Knob and then on the way home we went threw Helen. Everywhere we drove on the road I was pulling the trailer and buggy.

    Ah must have been in Blairsville. I went to Auto Zone for some goodies. Funny that I am bouncing from town to town so much that I can't remember which one I was in lol.

    Glad it is not just me with that plate lol. People who live around Hiawassee view the mountain roads as high-speed passes between towns... most out-of-towners didn't get the memo.

    I use to be that person screaming around the Mtns when I had my Turboed CRX. Now I just creep around the mountains in the Jeep.

    I want to check those out sometime. Hoping to get my winch mounted soon so I can really get into some trouble.

    Yeah I just mounted my new winch on. My jeep was down when we went, so I took my girlfriend's TJ on 6" lift and 35s and my buddy had to winch us out. It's pretty fun; we will need to meet up and hit the trails sometime

    We definitely need to meet up and ride. I like going out with a small group it makes it a lot more fun than just 2 trucks.
