The only legal place to wheel within two hours of Raleigh is Uwharrie National Forrest. It's 100 miles roughly.. The only other place is fort fisher down at the beach. There are some private trail systems around but they are not stock friendly and require an invite.
I may be running some mild trails in WNC later next month with another truck or two if you're interested
I may be. I just got my first Disco last weekend so I don't have many upgrades yet. I am looking for a used brush bar and light guards to get started but taking my time and trying to find the right one.
Anything you think I should get first to run some of those trails? Whereabouts are you thinking of going, Uwharrie?
I'm not sure what trails he's talking about in Western NC. But for Uwharrie you won't need a brush bar or light guards. It's mostly rocks you'll be running into not branches and brush. You'll want to concentrate on under body protection. First priority should be proper recovery points, diff guards and HD Steering. Nothing will cut your trip short faster than a smashed front diff or bent steering. If you really plan to wheel you'll want rock sliders next.
Other helpful items are a winch, hi-lift and proper recovery gear.

None of the above, really. We'll just be riding some FS roads for the most part. Way south and west of Uwharrie toward the NC/SC border. May be a bit of a hike from Raleigh

Thinking about a WNC day trip on Jan 1st or 2nd if there's any takers. No plans yet but need to get out in the woods. Was thinking possibly Hurricane Creek
