Tellico OHV area, near Murphy NC. The intermediate level trails are mud,
rock ledges, boulders, v-ditches and such. Never had a problem with the
Disco in these conditions but am concerned about one particular stream
crossing with a drop in / climb out rock ledge that could give the 109
trouble if a rock "ramp" isn't constructed.
Next week or so i plan on some mud, smallish rocks, v-ditch kind of stuff.
Probably a good idea to remove those military bumperettes on the rear
crossmember as they stick out a good 7 or 8 inches...
