More off-road fun

I thought ya'll might enjoy seeing some more pics of a recent "overlanding" trip I took with the Christian Crawlers 4x4 Club out of NW Arkansas. We spent three days in the Ozark National Forest, driving close to 200 miles off pavement. Had a great time.

There were six vehicles on this trip: 5 Jeep Wranglers and 1 diesel Tahoe! I believe most everyone had at least a tiny bit of envy over the diesel power and cargo capacity of my 2 door Tahoe.

One of the neatest things on this particular trip was a long, slow, 2 mile climb up a narrow, rocky hill. I simply put the transfer case in low range, the tranny in 1st gear, and flipped on the high-idle switch. I was able to crawl most of that hill without having to touch either the brake or the accelerator!

Very jealous!! Looks like a very relaxing and fun trip. Took my Sub to our local National Forest - Uwharrie, last year. Didn't dare do anything technical with the Titanic but it was fun climbing over some minor rocks and hills. Would love to do something longer.

Can't beat all the low end tourque of a diesel. Something a gas motor would blast over you can eaze over and still have all your teeth when you get there!:eek:

Some more pics from a day trip this past weekend:

Thought your off-road pictures, inclusive of your own truck were brilliant. We live in Australia, and own a diesel suburban. Nothing beats getting out there in the bush in a capable vehicle; going camping & just having a great time. Great post!

Thanks for the kind words!

I'll have to admit: more than one of the Jeep guys were jealous of the turbo diesel exhaust tones when climbing some ledges!! :D

Casey

these photos really show how fun it was.

Brings back memories from LONG LONG AGO, IN A MUD HOLE FAR FAR A WAY.
