Title: Tellico Dec'
Post by: BigJerm on September 10, 2008, 10:26:33 PM
So we got plenty to Tellico chatter in the thread so lets start some here. I for one plan to go to Tellico in Dec but will probably be on the easy trails as I dont see much going on with the Wrangler..... Unless we hit it big in Vegas!

Anyways, sad we wont get a piece of this:

Slickrock, December 29th, 2007.

Atleast you got to do slickrock. I never got a chance! Shame too! I forgot how freakin awesome lower 2 was as well! We stopped and walked down to the rock garden. :'( :'( I almost cried. Man I will miss tellico. Jerm, you can ride co-pilot with me up the bus, heli and the rail. You have got to see those trails before they are gone!

As long as there's no rain. This trip was ridiculous! Chris and I vowed to never hit Tellico wet again  :D  I'd love to do the easy trails in snow though.  :)

you know, hearing Ben talk about walking the old trails. I might hike up to Slick Rock. Think it is still legal to walk the old trails? It would be cool and wierd to go take a picture at the same spot as the one I posted, a year later.

Post by: Krawler00 on September 11, 2008, 02:48:10 PM
Jerm, let's hook up for a day to do this. I would be all for a hike up to slickrock, peckerwood and rock garden.

Ben when ever you are ready. I am going to call the Ranger district to confirm hiking is ok to do. How far down the trails is it blocked off to get to Slick Rock? Just on that trail or further down 8? Just wondering how long it would take to hike in December.

Post by: Krawler00 on September 11, 2008, 03:33:12 PM
I think you can still get real close to the top od slickrock. The other entrance is gated. Chris= 8==D

I didn't get to ride with you guys on that trip in 12/07, but I was about 20 rigs behind you at Slickrock.  I got to watch most of y'all that day.  I broke another stock driver's side axle in my Dana 44 front end that day and I have been waiting every since for a set of Superior Evolution axles for it!!  Mac from Superior said that they should have been shipped out today (only 10 months later) so maybe I can make it out to ride WITH y'all this time.   {cool}

I am running a Midland 1001z that I got from Amazon for under $30! Then just get an antenna and mount. The mount I got came with 18' of cable. Fry's sells SWR tuners for $10 and your good to go!

Well, unless I can find another stock axle for my waggy axle, looks like I will be sitting out another ride! >:(  Mac (vice president of Superior axle) assured me that my axles would be shipping out yesterday.  Today I find out that the stub axles are ready, but the inners still aren't ready yet..........I ordered these January 4th of this year.  I don't know if I will EVER get to ride again. :'(

That is a bit crazy there! Waiting almost a full year???????? Why not can the order and go else where?
Title: Re: Tellico Dec'
Post by: AppYJ on October 29, 2008, 09:25:40 PM
Alloy USA's have a 10 year warranty, but they are not made in the USA...also, they are backordered also.  Yukon's are junk, they have a good warranty, but that does no good when they break on the trail.  Superior's are the best by far.  Their splines are rolled, not cut and their 4340 chrome moly is better quality than their competitor's which is made in India.  They are American made with a lifetime warranty and they are the same price as the others that I feel are inferior quality.  Superior axles are the standard that all others are compared to, so why not get the best!!  But on the down side is the amount of time that I have had to wait.  :'(

I run superiors in mine as well but that wait is insane! I can't believe nobody has a set somewhere to ship!!!!! :P

Tell me about it.  I have been watching a thread on Pirate, and I am not the only one having problems.  http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=666899&highlight=Alloy+USA+axles  I have even been dealing with Mac McMillan who is the new Vice President of Superior Axle since about June.  He replaced Mike Jr. somewhere around April of this year.

The main shibang is on the 13th saturday. Cookout etc. I want to head up a few days early to camp and chill. Yeah, we need a head count for it to save some spots at crawfords.
