Thats right, my bad Im still sorting it all out.

Thanks Boss. I did my best for everyone.

BTW, we have a nearly impersceptable dent on the driver's side door from that damn root on 5.

I wasn't driving.

Hmm not too many on my truck, the big one one the d-side was a fence post lol (dont ask) the rest are from various rocks and trees.

Here's one I got Sunday. I didnt realize it until later that night at the gas station b4 I went home. I figure it occured coming into the creek on Fains Ford off the ledge or taking the "fun" line into the creek on 5. I remember hearing a bang on both drops but never noticed the dent until later, so Im not real sure which place it happened.



Knocked off the zerk fitting, also some scuffing around the pinion yoke. Probably when I high centered exiting the creek at Fains Ford.



Spun the d-sahft on some rock



Gas Tank



Skid

Sunday was like that, only saw a few others. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Just like ParagonAP.

Colin, you kick ass, brother. Glad you came looking for us, glad you found us, glad we wheeled together. And riding in your rig across the water taking that crazy line was a blast. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

It was! I wish I could do it every day! I always wheel Tellico though, and enjoy it. But I havent been to Moab or any of the like. I have registered for our National TTORA Takeover which will be in Hot Springs AR this year at the Superlift OHV Park, (last year was in Pa, at PAP) so Ill get to cut my teeth on some new wheelin grounds. Cant wait

And sorry for the out of order respomse still gettin used to this forums format

Courtesy of the Offcamber guys, here is a pic of the traffic jam AFTER it had been relieved. This is a pic of when we were actually moving.

Ahhhhh! That picture makes me cringe.

We were just happy to actually be moving!

Those Heep guys must be idiots Theyre the same ones that held us up when we went up. What are they doing turned around already? They sure caused a mess that day.

Tellico trips are a pretty common occurance. I'll post up here next time we go in case anyone wants to tag along.

Hey everyone, finally have my connection again. Had to download almost 300 posts. I am in Ft Lauderdale area now. I am really bummed we did not do Sunday but Mona was in a lot of pain.

By the end of the day on Saturday my frustration level was very high, I was to cranky to do anything on Sunday. I really feared a repeat of the chaos Saturday. I guess in retrospect, I would arrive Saturday and wheel Sunday through .....

The a-holes on Pirate really got to me. But we really did talk to a lot of good people there.

Anyone interested in an April event? Are there any parks in VA? We can try Rausch Creek.

By the way, my shields are still on. Taking them off tomorrow and really don't expect to see any damage. We'll see.

Knew there was a reason to go back.

Here is a decent shot of what the root on trail 5 did to my door. It creased it from just under the window at the front downward to the bottom rear of the door. I slid into the root, being stupid, and then goosed it again came off and slid into it again a little further down the door.

Door still opens, window still works, so it stays and qualifies as rub rash.

Good I like that Keep it.

Ouch Paragon!

Ahh. Just a flesh wound.

Sooooomebody tapped our door on that root, too.

That really sucks but was not I

You'll never really see it. It's so slight I just caught it at the right angle.

Mines pretty much the same way. Anywhere within a 180 degree angle of the driver's side.

Next time...that root is going DOWN!

As far as I know the wheels are the only part of my truck with any trail damage. But that may change when I finally wash it tomorrow

I finally washed mine today and my damage is minimal. Slight rubs on my rims, small scratches here and there on the paint and a well rubbed rocker bar.

I think i may have some problems mechanicly though. I have a funny noise coming from what seems to be a steering component. If i had a dealer within 2hours i would bring it in, but i might just live wiht it for another week and see if it goes away.

why are you doing this crap?

Thats what Im wondering.

Colin weird things happen on this forum from time to time....but they get weeded out QUICKLY!

Well I got my dents in the rear driver side door fixed. He got most of it out going through the back behind the door pannel. He only charged me $256.00 sine he didnt get it 100%. No one can see it unless I point it out to them now which is fine witrh me. I am just going to leave the dent from the gravel truck as a tellico memory! They couldnt get at it and would have to do body work and paint. Do care enough to bother with all that and I expect that if I continue wheeling it, some dents are inevitable.

I alos needed an allignment so I had the dealer install the fabtechs.

Total $ spent =/- $400.00 on trail damage. I feel the trip was well worth it and will go back again.

I will bring a shovel and put rocks in ditches that may cause slides into rocks/roots though.

x2!


and so you can help me build a bridge to get over the big rocks.

I had a shovel, but that sounds like to much work. You should just be a better driver and you won't get dents like that.

Didn’t you get the biggest dent of the group? </div></BLOCKQUOTE><font size=1>well..... yeah </font>

Exactly. Damn H3's littering the trails stuck on pebbles!!

I'll sign up for the PARAGON school of door denting so I can get real dents next time. Sorry for being such a noob out there guys and my poor attempt at real trail damage.

That root bit me too. But nothing notable. Alan you got hit by the gravel truck didn't you?

Did you get a pic after the tape and skins came off?

I'll get one, but the door was already fixed. I'll show you the 6x6 damage..Its a nice beauty mark!

Did you guys get big nasty fixed?

Got the alignment, but the FabTech rod is bent. I'm calling them tomorrow.

still can't believe it's bent

I do strange things to rod-like objects when they don't do what I want them to.
