I was down there at the end of October and got caught in a storm at the top of helicopter, the wind was gale force, the snow was blowin, and my ass was freezing.

New Duramax ? cool...

I can't wait, the jeep is pretty much ready, well, other than that sticking throttle thing, and I gotta come-up with a better windshield frame, (I've broken the fuggin windshield or ruined the frame the last 3 times I wheeled that pos)...oh, and I need to replace the coilover spacers, and beef-up the end of the steering cyl., and rework some of the switches, and add a hand throttle, and fix that damn choke cable, and add a rollover valve to the gas tank, and straighten the skids under the exhaust, and put in a heater and fan, and then I gotta find my list of things to do before we go to Tellico...

I better clean out the shop this weekend :eek:


Ah... Dude...It's the end of April not May

hey guys, just read a post on the MTTR board that the park service dynamited lower 2 and its now easy. they speculated it was for erosion control but don't know for sure. thought about a trip up there to see and will let you know, its only an hour or so away, later.

I was just there last week and yes they moved some boulders around........to say it is easy would be very misleading.

The last major obstacle (also the crux) is still there. With a nice, deep, wet whole to try to climb out of and onto the boulder/ledge.


You want some hard sheeet to do......go play on slickrock, (hardrock, if you're an old Tellico vet).

Jaymi:D ive got 5 years under my belt there... been on all of them numerous times... but lower 2 in the rain is a fawkin blast!... ahhh i like em all but damn i just like lower 2 for some reason....


i remember my second year there doin a night run with dirt rod and his friends..... all i can say is... holly shit :eek: i thought these guys were nuts, we went down upper 2 at warp speed..lol im running ,at the time, 33's these guys are running 38's or bigger... i hit every part of my under carrage... roflmao..

ahh just love the smokey stories... like the second day ever at tellico, i drove my jeep down.. did slick rock day one, helicopter day 2... i was the only one out of the group ( i wasnt running with dirtrod and the crew) to make it to the top ledge... a guy say's, "give it a little bump.... lol i bumped all right... i stood it straight up... if i wouldnt of pushed the clutch in she would of flopped right on the roof.... daamn that place is fun :D roflmao, and that was with 33x9.50 bfg's limited slip rear, lock right front, the jeep was 7 months old...lol

its a shitty pic, but you get the point!
