New to off-roading but not to Blacksburg
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2007 5:49 pm
Hello all,
As a recent graduate of VT, I am spending my summer looking for a job. Also, as a summer project, I swapped an LT1 V8 into my dads old work truck (a Chevy K1500), which had spun a bearing.
Anyway, now that the truck is running right, I would like to take it around to some of the local trails. My dad used to off-road his Bronco around Blacksburg in the early 80’s and he told me about a few places he’d gone, one being the brush mountain fire road/jeep trail which I believe you guys call ‘bobcat.’ Since I have never been off-roading before, and none of my friends have either, I would very much like to go with someone who knows what their doing.
For those wondering about my screen name, my daily driver is a '98 supercharged Buick Regal that I have done a few things to, including, overdrive S/C pulley, high ratio roller rockers, police impala swaybars and brakes, custom computer, and exhaust, among other things.
