I don't think this'll work if the road is still closed. The slide was between the "gravel" lot and the overlook, so I think the only alternative is the Cheohala skyway.

Crap. So turns out I was looking at the wrong dam. Foothills is definitely out as an alternate.

FTR, I was looking at Chilhowee Dam.

Agree. Let's cap it at max 4. More than that and people will not be interested from the standpoint of time and R&R before the banquet...... Besides, we have a long night ahead of us..... (aka: G-Funk has to carry a cooler. Oh wait. Did Jesus say "not it" last? )
I think it should go by age, us old folks got to keep out energy up, leave the heavy lifting to the young bucks (bunnies)

bunny it is!

4x4 S? Alex (Timbagoo) should be able to make it...
That's actually the correct height for the S because it's CR-spec height. All others are incorrect.

i pulled the car out on Saturday and was quickly reminded of just how much of a gap there is! no suspension changes for me so it'll just be like that for a while I guess

i think stock cr sits up even higher... you might be like an F150... the CR is like a dump truck with a lift kit
