Have you checked out the Cullowhee trails? They're in Cullowhee  |
They are in Cullowhee, but they are more expedition-type and less technical. I would not recommend doing them alone either. Last club run saw a lot of slipping and sliding and getting stuck in the mud. Cullowhee is one of the last areas around with access, so those of us that know where it is are pretty protective of it. Hook up with someone who knows the area and let them show you the ropes up there. Responsible behavior is the only thing keeping those roads open.

If you want to go to Tellico you'll need at least a 3" lift, sliders, tires, and some armor. THere is a thread here somewhere "Newbie does Tellico" guy took a bone stock FJ through some of the easier trails and got high centered, but he made it out.
There is a run in Harlan KY comming up the first weekend in April. Stringmachine and I are planning on going if you would like to head up there with us. It is about 2 1/2 hours away I believe.

I will disagree a little with you on the Tellico requirements. When I bought my FJ I wheeled it stock (with sliders) around Tellico and did just fine. You DO however, need sliders. If not your rockers will be pretzels. Again, the key there is to hook up with someone who knows the area well and can spot you through the rough areas. It's doable w/o the lift and with some careful line picking.
The Harlan KY ride is the April Fool's Day Toyota Crawl (
http://tired-iron.mounet.com/afd08/). Never been to Harlan before, so can't give you any opinions on the wheeling.
There is another even that weekend, it's the "Save Tellico Spring Fling." It's the first weekend that Tellico will be open after the closure order for the winter was enacted last fall. There is a parade, rock crawling competitions, etc. All $$$ will be donated to pay legal fees to help keep Tellico open. There's a fight brewing over OHV use in the area, so if anyone is willing to spend the weekend for a good cause (and do some wheeling at Tellico), then please check it out too. More info here
