Were those pictures of the lake taken off cane hollow road of center hill? I thought that place got shut down?

Those are great photos. That tunnel that says "24" above it, what was it built for? What is it tunneling under? The idea of driving into it made my hands sweat but I remember you are a caver. But taking your poor 4Runner into it.

Thanks man! It was tunnel 24 in a railroad system. I can't remember the name, but I think it went from Ohio to Chattanooga, TN. It was a trail tunnel built in 1878 and it was abandoned in the 1960s because it was too small. The new one is several hundred feet away and we saw 3 trains while we were there. When I got back home, I found out that there are 2 more tunnels we could have gone in

Yes, I am not aware of it being shut down. Several of my friends that are local have been going there for years. I'll send you a PM about it.

My Savage skid plates shipped yesterday!

I'm also getting my new CB and antenna spring today! (My current CB stopped working)

Cool about the skids! If you haven't taken the tranny nuts off yet it's a good time to do it before install. The 99's nuts were rattling against the Savage skid. Simple enough to remove. The 99 may have a worn mount, I don't get under that truck too much, it'd be like cheating on the 96. Just a heads-up.

I know there's at least one tiny tiny fuse in a cb, not the one in the wiring. Mostly because I had to replace it.

I'm pretty sure the transmitter circuitry just crapped out. I bought it used and it's at least 20 years old. Last week, I was slammed down and it started working for a little while haha. The new one should be a whole lot better anyways.

Sorry, the balancer doo-dad hanging off the bottom of either the tranny or transfer case. I forget, mine has been off for years.

Oh, yeah, I can see why you wouldn't consider a fuse there. What cb are you getting?

Oh, I'm only getting the front plate

I'm making a super simple belly pan whenever I get around to it.

I got the Uniden 520 Pro xl I think. I put it in last night and I haven't tuned the antenna yet.

Nice cb.

You'll make an awesome super-simple pan when you're ready. If you want any pics/measures for inspiration I've got a Trail Carnage and a Savage plate.

Thanks! and I like it loooooowwwwwww! If I were to do anything to the suspension, it would have to be longer shocks in the rear but keep the stock springs.
