| So it looks like I will be there just for Saturday. We are probably going to be installing my air locker on Sunday | |

That should be fine, since you won't need a locker at URE anymore anyway.... | |

| Just throwing this out there. My son is interested in taking his Chevy Z71 to URE. It is an extended cab, so pretty long truck. What are folks thoughts on his ability to maneuver around the trails. I see Daniel being very challenging with the sharp turns and some tight fits between trees/wall. He does not have a locker, but it is 4x4 with some 305x16 BFG ATs. | |

He does not have a locker, but it is 4x4 with some 305x16 BFG ATs. He'll most likely get hung up on the water breaks with the long bed. | |

| Scott, I have seen some full size trucks trailing on Uwharrie. I am not sure about the extended cab though. I think Dickey Bell would be tough because of the one tree that you have to squeeze through.
Wolf's Den would be ok if the "speed bumps" dont crest the truck.
I think Slab Pile and Saw Mill would all be open enough.
Rocky Mount Loop would have been a good one unfortunately.
I also think Dutch John would be doable. I can only think of two spots where a narrow trail section is combined with a turn on Dutch John.
I I think sliders would be a must for Dutch John or Dickey Bell |

| Also getting past that tree on the way up to the first ledge on Daniel could be dicey - although I would bet the FJ's are just as wide as the Cheby. | |

| I dont think the FJs are as wide, but with the truck you dont have the rear cabin area. This is the biggest issue if the tight space in not on a flat surface. |

| Nope, I missed that one . Heard about it though. I would stay away from any tril with rocks with a long wheelbase and no sliders. I do enjoy seeing trail carnage, but not when it is me or someone I am with.

They have both. They have the 30 amp "camper outlet", and one or two 15 amp circuits with traditional housing outlets. EDIT: I can be certain of this at arrowhead campground. |
