Has anyone wheeled a stock F-150 through URE. I have a friend trying to organize an F-150 meet and some are stock two wheel drive and he is wondering if some fun wheeling can be done.
 
'98 - '01 I wheeled a stock '90 F-150 4x4 at Uwharrie. Short bed / auto - 351W and 31" AT tires.

I'd leave the 2WD trucks at the Outpost and wheel the 4WD trucks. Picking a dry day for stock F-150 4x4 trucks wouldn't be a bad thing either.

I can guarantee that it would be fun for those watching, but maybe not so much for the owner of the vehicle. You can make anything on momentum...:stupid: :Rockon:

TOW HOOKS ! without them, any stuck is a PITA for all involved, including the owner when he gets hung up.

Been thru this before, tow hooks save a lot of time and problems
 
I wheel a bone stock '06 F350 diesel supercab long bed through all the trails except the hill on Daniel on volunteer workdays, so yes, it's very doable. Muddy days could be a real problem in places, and I concur with the tow point advisory.

For those wondering, I do take the bypass at Kodak Rock. :flipoff2:

But Bruce, you have just a wee bit of common sense and experiance.

Something the common good don't seem to appreciate at trying times such as these.
 
Make sure of FRONT AND REAR tow hooks on ALL vehicles and it wouldnt be to much of a problem. I have seen a stock ~98 f150 up there, didn't look like he was having to hard of a time. Just start out easy then go on to the harder trails.
 
Let me describe the experience of hauling guardrail steel to Kodak Rock in the back of the beast: Day-um! Take nothing for granted when negotiating the turns and hill climbs. ALL the scars in the K-Liner are from that one trip. The dings and wear marks in the tailgate guard are from the Grizzly's front bar, but the scars are from the razor-sharp galvanic clusters in the guardrail finish. They got some skin through leather work gloves that day, too.

And I emphatically concur with the REAR tow point advisory. A good class 3 hitch will suffice if there's nothing better, especially with something adequate and designed for the purpose in the receiver, but DON"T EVER use a hitch ball as an attachment point.
 
After all of this I see a lot of damaged 2wd ford bodys. There are a number of water bars out there that a 2wd truck as long as an f150 will get hung up on.
 
for the 2wd folks, tow hooks are needed, and rear lockers would make it fun/completely doable

So when you roll off of Kodak it will be like falling on razor blades? LOL :D
