Not sure how to post here, I have 3 Videos of the Teamwork getting Chris' Jeep out of the tree and down the trail safely. I posted on YouTube under Sheila Forgacs. You can also find them on YouTube by searching GATR, Georgia Trial Riders or CORE. Let me know if there is an easy way to post here. Chris - glad you're safe!

What's the story with the tree? Did it have help falling over? Bigfoot leaning against it? Jared's rig OK? Looks like it got tires....mostly.

Chris, you Ok? Quite a hill there.

I was winching up from that spot. Will was up by the tree. I got pulled most of the way out and Will yelled that the tree was moving or was coming down. I let off the winch and everything was fine for maybe 10 seconds. Then it began to come down and everybody scattered. I reached back and pushed Ben's (my son) head down as far as I could and crouched down as far as I could.

It was over in 5 seconds...

Anyone else have a tree fall on their Jeep today... or was that just me?


A rock bit me! //:o//


Probably not going to drive up an obstacle you can't even walk on.

This was a great trip!  And I was able to deliver revenge, and redemption from 'Rubicon'.  I broke there last year.  Last year was 35's and IFS.  I came packin' this year.  Solid axle swap, 14" ORI's and new Pitbull Rockers and beadlocks.  Walked it. 
Then turned around and walked it the other way. 
Followed by a turn around and another pass.  You get the idea.  Had a grudge.







A huge Thank You to Danny and ALLSOUTH for the hook up on 37" Pitbull Rockers, and 17" TrailReady Beadlocks.  Also, thanks to the mechanic 'Steve' for letting me be part of the process, and showing me all the tricks & tips of building up new beadlocks.  Dude knows his craft, and pays attention to the details, which I appreciate.



Total beast Toyota Steve!  It really did well.

It was definitely a great trip! I hated having to leave early, but still got to do a decent bit of the park.  My jeep has definitely transformed since my last ride. Rk springs, synergy control arms, 37s made a massive difference. Fun getting to crawl bigger stuff. My brother-in-law was shocked at the capabilities, so that's always fun to witness.  As usual, another great gatr trip!

Big transformation. I'll bet it was fun to make that ledge at The Ledges, that's a damn good crawl!

Where are the ledges? I can never find them. I know they're just off a main trail sorta.

When you are on Forney road, the main trail, going out of that new parking lot toward Boatramp, you take a left at the first sharp turn, then take a right on Blue Ribbon Parkway, the Ledges will be on your left. They are very easy to drive right by, you need to really keep your eye out.

My only issue was a broke a rear ARB line for my rear locker going up the Boat Ramp bypass. Boat Ramp bypass has become a winch trail unless you have big horse power of 40's
