I finally got my wife in the Jeep, and figured Old NC 105 would be a nice easy ride for her. We saw a ton of fwd cars. The boys were with us, and we had an awesome day!
It's about a 13 mile run if you go straight through. There are quite a few side roads (trails?) that break off the southern end that we didn't go down. They look like they stretch all the way back over to Hwy 221 to the West, and into the canyon to the east.That looks like a good ride on the dual sport. About how many miles did yall cover?
Did you think an 4x4 Xterra will make this route w/any issues????I can't imagine any ride in a 3500 Dodge being comfortable , but I don't see any reason not to take it on the 105. There are a couple slight climbs with a switchback in them, but the worst one of those was even paved, and it doesn't narrow down at any point. I can't recall a time that two vehicles couldn't pass each other. The rock they use on it is rather large for gravel, I aired my tires down to 20 psi and it made the ride much smoother, and more enjoyable.
If you come out the south end and turn right there's a gas station a few miles down 126 that has air for 75¢. If you turn left there's nothing for miles and miles.
I would venture to say nearly any stock vehicle could make the drive on a dry day.
