20 years ago in my 74 FJ 40, what a blast!
Superb videography. Thank you for taking the time to place your cameras and backtrack. I know it takes a lot longer but this video is so much higher quality than a lotta videos where people just pop a camera on the hood. Really enjoyed watching!
Thanks!
Great video. Heading to URE Oct, 14-15. with a church group of Jeepers and some Bronco's. Going to camp over night.
Great time of year to visit URE! Have fun!
Great production quality. I have spent my life hiking, camping, and riding the trails at Uwharrie. I still camp but am more into preservation at this point. Usually there a few times a month. Waiting on this channel to blow up!
The UNF needs people like you to ensure it’s available for future generations to enjoy. Thanks for looking after it!
Really appreciate you sharing this and showing the map. Will take extra water and grub 👍🏾👍🏾
the angles in the video really captured the beauty of our east coast trails. keep up the great work!
Thanks for the feedback! I’m hoping to incorporate some drone footage in the next one.
Great video! Just went this morning. Dickey Bell was a little rockier than when we went last year, but we made it with a little seesawing at the bottom of the rocky feature. either way, lots of fun!
oh, forgot to mention- we went through Dickey Bell in the opposite direction. my mom’s jeep can make it through Dickey Bell without any lift kit or different tires. she has a Sahara Unlimited with stock everything, but has smacked the piece mounting the driver’s front control arm pretty good.
Awesome! I took a group up Dickey Bell last summer that had a stock TJ that had 31” street tires. It took a few attempts to get up the rocky section, but he made it with some spotting.
I haven’t been on Dickey Bell yet this year. Thanks for sharing the update!
15:21 my heart hurt watchin that jeep get dragged on its side!!!
Mine too!
I’ve got a 2005 Yukon with 285 all terrains and a leveling kit. I’m thinking there’s no way I’d make it through all the rock sections! Thanks for the video - well done!
You can run Wolf's Den, Slab Pile, Falls Dam, and Rocky Mtn Loop. It's the 3 D's that might give you trouble, or not, depending on how much you like your paint...
Great video, we will be heading to Uwharrie next week. Looking forward to it, looks like some nice trails
Thanks Alex! Have fun! I’m hoping to get back there soon. Let us know how the trails look!
When I was stationed in NC I’d take my JK every weekend out there. I had minimal modifications and didn’t really have much trouble traversing the obstacles. Had a BLAST! At the time I had a 08 two door JK rubicon, 35 inch tires, 2 inch lift, LOD bumpers with front stinger, warn power plant winch and ARB diff covers. That stinger saved me one time going down a ledge lol. I’d say if you are planning crawling at least invest in some differential covers/armor. I’ve seen a lot of guys come off a ledge or rock and just BAM!, slam their diff right into a rock. Those stock diff covers can be pretty thin and that’s fairly unhealthy to be taking rocks directly to your drive train.
Great video and thank you for showing where the trails are, what to expect. Looking to make a trip while visiting family and friends next year in N.C and planning to take my rig and experience some of Uwharrie.
Great vid, we don't have many parks here where I live, but we have "backroad trails" which are like those but technically labeled as seasonal 4x4 roads. No fun rocks unfortunately, but I do get to enjoy the lovely rain, snow, and mud of the Northeast Coast :)
I wish I saw this video before going for my first time…glad I got out with only a broken tail light 😂
April needs to hurry up,I love wheelin and the vibe out there! #yotagang
Yea it does!!
Great video and a great trail guide to be honest. The nice part was that you didn't talk the entire time nothing against you talking but I kind of liked how simple you kept it. Thanks again definitely subscribed.
Also, thanks for not having any corny music either. Just you the sound of nature and tires grinding over the rocks.
Great video! I am video reconnaissance of Uwharrie from Northern Virginia for a potential adventure this year for camping, exploring, etc. This video provide a lot of great insight - keep up the good content.
Thank you and I’m glad you found it useful!
I'm from NOVA and am going to head down next week for a 4 day trip. Did you go this year?
@@jades2588 haha - my season got derailed with a cracked radiator. Since I had over 100K on my rig - ended up replacing that and all the fun stuff behind it (except alternator) and then my starter died (which was a bigger pain). My season was more of carport hanger Queen action😭. However learned a lot. Just do it!
Thank you for this superb video.
I was really enjoying this video until the rollover recovery. Why did you guys drag his Jeep down the trail? It would have been easier to snatch block ti from the tree on the left to tip it back onto it's wheels and then let some line out as he backed the jeep down the trail to where it was level. Minimal damage to the Jeep and clears the trail quicker. Other than the recovery, this was a very good video. I have not been to N.C. to wheel yet and I am glad that I watched this video first. I am looking forward to hitting this area the next time that I am on the east coast.
Hey Todd! Thanks for your feedback!
There was no way to flip the Jeep back upright where it was, the walls of dirt prevented that. I do think we possibly could have flipped it back over once we dragged it back out of that section, but the owner wanted to pull it all the way back to the switchback before setting it upright, so that’s what we did. It’s a tricky part of the trail for recovery, as usual video doesn’t do it justice. Uwharrie is a fun place to wheel and I hope it stays open for many years to come.
yes. like todd said; use a winch and snatch block to roll it back over. it will still be at an awkward angle and want to flop back onto its side if you take the winch off (so dont let tension off of the winch) leave it hooked up and holding jeep leaning up against the the wall with its tires on the ground and hold it there with the winch. then while it is still hooked up to keep it from flopping back over again, then winch it backwards or roll it backwards down the hill until it is on level ground
This video is awesome. I am waiting for my first ever Jeep Rubicon to be delivered. I really wanted to know what the trails at Uwharrie were like. This really takes away some of the anxiety of going out to a trail for the first time.
Thanks! I’m glad it helped! You’ll have a blast! It’s an addicting hobby and you will likely come away with a long list of future mods after your trip 😄
Uwharrie has a lot of beginner trails to start on that are still a ton of fun! We’ve even been on them with an old 1500 with an 8’ bed with only 2wd, still a blast!
@@TheBarrierBrigade Did my first OHV on Uwharrie’s beginner trail last weekend and love it!
Great video!
Thanks Davin!
Wow man this content was top notch hope you keep with it!
Thank you! I hope to be a little more regular going forward and I’ll keep improving!
@@TarheelOverland awesome man I am down on the coast of SC, but would love to start wheeling in these areas !
nice video, been there many time
too bad someone didn't have a snatch-block so they could pull the flop sideways from a tree instead of dragging it...think I'll buy one and leave it in my rig now
Uwharrie is great. I've been more times than I can count. A stock Wrangler can make it through 90% of the place with careful line picking. My only suggestion for those new to off-roading is to not go during or right after rain. Give it a few days to dry out. It gets very slick when it's wet and turns even the easy trails in to a slick difficult mess.
Great advice! The difficulty level goes up significantly when it’s wet. A short thunderstorm came through just before we hit Daniel in this video, which made the first half of the trail and ledge pretty slick.
Took my Tacoma down Wolf Den for the first time this past weekend
Sweet! Did you hit any other trails while you were there? Is your 🌮 stock?
@@TarheelOverland yes, stock for now so I was too cautious to do anything more difficult
I have been going there for 20 yrs and this year has been the worst for rollovers
I did alot of these trail with my atv I tried dicky bell only got half way up the rock area everyone gets stuck on.
Great vid! Do you think a stock 23 4Runner would do ok there? I want to take ours & the wife up there. I've aways offroaded quads & SxS so full size vehicles would be new to me!
Thanks! This video was 100% shot on an iPhone 11. I sometimes use a gopro as well. I hope to get a real camera soon and also start incorporating shots from my DJI Mavic mini
Hey.
Amazing video.
I would love to take my kid with me for our first time off-roading.
I drive a Ram 1500, no lift and some light off-roading tires. Do you think I can do the easiest trail without so many difficulty?
The left line you took on Dickey Bell is an illegal bypass. Multiple attempts have been made to fence it off but people keep ripping the guard rails down anytime they are put up. There is a rumor that Dickey Bell is going to be closed because of it. Since you took the line I am assuming you didn't know, so I'm informing you. A stock vehicle can easily do the farthest right line.
Thanks for the info! There wasn’t any indication that it was an illegal bypass and it’s been used so much that it looks to be part of the trail. I’ll remember and stay to the right next time.
for this kind of rocky terrain, what psi would you air down to without beadlocks? i only go down to around 20 psi just to be safe
Great video!! Any other tips or hints for Uwharrie? Taking my first trip there in June.
I go in May!
The harder trails start with a ‘D’ (Dutch John, Dickey Bell, Daniel). I like to start over on Wolf Den and then to Falls Dam and Dickey Bell. From there you can do Rocky Mountain Loop, go down Dutch John, or head over to Daniel if you want a more challenging trail. Grab a map from the outpost when you get your day pass.
If you are camping, you can disperse camp in the forest for free. There are a lot of spots off the main roads or (preferably) a couple hundred yards down most any of the trails. The entrance of Falls Dam has a lot of room and the Art Lilley campground is there also.
Most big groups seem to meet up at the Outpost at around 9am on the weekends, so if you want to see some cool rigs or if you’re maybe looking to join up with someone, head over to the outpost and grab a biscuit while you’re there.
Edited to add: URE trails aren’t particularly difficult, so many people are pretty nonchalant about preparations and/or don’t expect anything bad to happen. Don’t be that person. Take some tools and recovery gear, extra food and water, and don’t hesitate to stop and scope out any obstacles on foot before you attempt them.
The big mud hole is 3 foot deep
What are your thoughts on a 2024 Nissan Frontier Pro4x and these trails? Which trails are a go, and which should be avoided in the Nissan?
That roll over recovery made me cringe. So many other ways that could of been handled.
thankfully nobody got hurt .... but the entire time I was watching that recovery I was like .... how do you explain that one to the insurance company lol
I think he’ll have a hard time getting that one covered by insurance! It was a really nice TJ rubi.
Great cinematography but this video doesn't even come close to showing what Dickey Bell is like.
No video can do any trail justice. That's common knowledge, big dawg.
@Garrett Spivey I agree but for anyone coming to ride this trail they need to know that this video in particular is deceiving even though it's not intentional.
Great video, thanks for posting. I just picked up my first Jeep, a 2022 Gladiator Sport S with the MaxTow package. It looks like you’re running 35s (315s), do you also have a lift? Once I replace my stock 245/70s with 33s I’m hoping to do some mild off roading (I bought it more for towing and hauling). Do you think a stock Jeep (Gladiator) on 33s with no lift could make it?
I have the 2” Mopar lift. You would be fine at Uwharrie with 33’s on the easier trails. The rule of thumb is all the harder trails start with a “D” - Daniel, Dutch John, Dickey Bell. You probably want to avoid those.
I know you didn't get to do the daniel hardest trail, but it sounds like you have before. Is it doable for a tacoma w/rear locker on 33s with sliders and skids? I'm planning to go with a few guys next week but I've never been and they're on 37s, so feeling a bit out gunned and dont know what to expect. I appreciate any feedback.
How did he roll? Ive been there a bunch of times with my tundra and old tacoma just a mikd build nothing crazy, guess he sent it too far or too hard?
He said he just sent it too hard. Seemed like a little bit of carelessness, which I think causes many of the rollovers at Uwharrie. The Scout that rolled earlier in the day lost his brakes at the top of the descent.
I got a 2wd ‘07 4Runner w a 3” lift and new 32.5” AT tires. You think I’ll be able to handle some of these trails? I just upgraded it and I’ve never gone off-roading.
You should be able to do any of the easier trails as long as it’s dry. The harder trails would be pretty challenging or maybe impassible with only 2wd.
@@TarheelOverland I had a feeling. Thanks for the response!
Are you local the the Uwharrie area i leave 30 min from there and would like to meet up and go one day or do a overlandung trip my two sons love the outdoors
I live about a hour from the Uwharrie area. Maybe when it opens up next season I can host a meet up/trail day. What kind of overlanding rig do you have?
@@TarheelOverland I have a 2001 land rover discover I am slowly building it up on a budget but lucky for me I work at a fabrication shop is salisbury nc
@@TarheelOverland that would be cool. I just bought a 4Runner that I put a 3” lift and 285/70r17 tires on
A little bondo and that jeep will be good to go. Why did you have to pull that guy out? By the time you got there a hole lot of other trucks were just sitting there doing nothing.
yoooo...can my subaru outback wilderness handle any trails here?
I was wondering the same thing, so we took my sister’s Subaru Crosstrek on some trails to see what it could do. We did Wolf Den, Slab Pile, and Saw Mill. Check it out: ruclips.net/video/sATXfOtM4Tg/видео.html
How about a stock KL will it do some of it
I would guess the KL has about the same ground clearance as the Subaru we took on the trails in my ‘mild vs wild’ video. I’d suggest staying on the easy-rated trails.
Will full size rigs be ok in Uwharrie ? F250 crew cab short bed on 35s
You can do it if you don’t mind scratches. We took a full size Chevy through one time and it got some new pin stripes from the branches.
I'm about to take my first trip to uwharrie, I am a seasoned wheeler with a CJ7, v8, rear locker and 35s. What trails do you recommend and where do you typically camp?
You should be able to do any trail at URE with your setup, just depends on your comfort level. Daniel is the highest risk trail for rollover or body damage. Dutch John is second riskiest in my opinion (just because of the hill climb where the Jeep flopped in my video). I’d suggest starting easier trails like wolf den/slab pile/saw mill/rocky mtn loop/falls dam then dicky bell. If you want more challenge after that, try Dutch John and Daniel.
Running any of them at night adds some extra challenge. You could be like me and lose track of where you’re going and get stuck trying to squeeze between the trees to get back on the trail 😂.
You can disperse camp anywhere along the trails. There are a number of obvious camping spots, especially at the entrances or exits. I wouldn’t suggest camping next to the main roads because of noise and dust. Uwharrie Hunt Camp is nice and it’s really convenient to the Outpost. Arrowhead is also nice and has more amenities (reservation only if I remember correctly).
Hope this helps!
@@TarheelOverland that's a huge help thanks! I'll be staying at arrowhead due to the need for trailer accomodations. Cheers!
False! The first thing you do is order a tenderloin biscuit! Then, and only then, proceed to pay for biscuit and trail pass.
