With special thanks to our existing and future customers,

We couldn’t do what we love without you.

North Carolina Off-roading/4x4 Guide

First of all, we want to thank ALL of the Offroaders and 4x4 Enthusiasts out there

who have been such an integral part of our company, brand, and customer base!

And thank you for purchasing this Off-roading Trail Guide!

We wanted to collect all the information one would need to decide the most

valuable off-roading trail that are in their state – to make an educated decision

and prevent any surprises. (What do you mean ATV’s aren’t allowed on these

trails?!)

We have included important information such as:

A) Are permits required?

B) What Climate Type?

C) How Many Miles are these trails (according to their websites)

D) What times of the year are they open?

E) Is there a standing entry fee? If so, How much?

F) What other vehicles are allowed on these trails?

G) UTVs? SXS? ATVs? SUV/Jeeps? Dune Buggies? Sand Rails?

H) And contact information, with a small blurb about the trial itself,

highlighting any important things to keep in mind such as: Are there

bathrooms available, garbage service, etc.

I) A Star-rating, on a scale from 1-5, on the overall value of the trail

With all of that information, we feel that all of our valued customers in North

Carolina will be able to make an informed decision as to where to spend their

precious “Off-road Time”.

If any information in this book becomes outdated due to new policies, and you

happen to catch it, please feel free to contact Agrant@sdtrucksprings.com and I

will place an edit on the book. And of course, if you are in need of any

suspension parts, truck accessories, and much much more, feel free to check

out our full catalogue at http://www.sdtrucksprings.com – or call us directly at

1(877) 774-6473 and speak to one of our specialists directly!
