Had anyone heard of the new trails at Uwharrie? Apparently they cut two more trails but don’t know the difficulty of them.

I hadn't heard that, but will be looking to see what I can find out.
Thanks for the info on the cargo rack. I may pick one up.

I definitely used your “how to” when I was doing this. I still need to make improvements as much of it has temporary straps and tie downs.
A buddy went out last night for a camping trip and tried the new trail. He said it’s an easy one with a few rock areas to mess around on but nothing to get too excited about.
Last Wednesday, took my son up the front side of Daniel at uwharrie. I was surprised to see how the trail has changed in particular the ledge and v notch above it compared to 2009-2015 timeframe. I’ll see if I can find some old pics of the trail.
**Update information for the lake view trail.
If anyone follows the Uwharrie mountain overland/offroad page in the FB, they have some videos of the new trail. It looks like there is a really tough rock section off to the side of the trail.
OP
A gentleman never tells, lol. I had BM rotors and pads already but after the Windrock trip, one of my calipers was sticking causing burning and wearing down of my pads on one side. There was lots of mud out there annd I think it got into one of my caliper pistons. Instead of ordering more oem sized brakes, decided to go big. I shouldnt regret it

I have a few. Trying to take pics with all the people we had and keep it moving at the same time was hard.
My dad and I want to get out to Uwharrie sometime soon, but haven’t been there before. What are y’all’s recommendations for what we should do?
Neither of us have off-road experience with the exception of forest service trails up in the mountains. I’ve got 31s, no lift, no lockers. My dad has a stock jkur. I’m guessing that his Jeep will go quite a bit farther than mine will as of right now. (Hopefully that’ll change though in the future
)
We want something somewhat challenging, but nothing too crazy… definitely not looking to break anything. Thought I’d ask for some advice before going out there blindly

It was a good time, but wish they would have broken the Jeeps up into 2 groups. Lots of people that probably shouldn’t have been out there lol.
