[@zacharyfike1071]

You guys point us towards so many adventures when us Eastern NC residents take our Jeeps west in our beautiful state. Thanks!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

You are welcome!

[@cliffrockadventures]

There are so many beautiful waterfalls and views throughout the Appalachians system of mountains - we are lucky. Thank you for sharing!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Agree! It is such a beautiful area to explore.

[@toddhoffmaster6057]

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks for watching!

[@outbackwack368]

Your channel has introduced us to so many scenic drives in so many areas! I can't wait to settle in Tennessee in 2026 and start exploring the Appalacians!!!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

You will love it.

[@ChristopherHarris6005]

Awesome video as always. Can't wait to explore the Smokey Mountain 1000.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks!

[@bennie873]

Gonna have to try some of these that we have not been on. Thanks

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Definitely

I did alot of these on my trip down from Canada. Went by myself with my 04 dodge 2500 Diesel. Stock truck as well.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

That's great! Thanks for watching.

[@daltonwood6043]

Check out parsons branch road! Off the cades cove loop. Ends on the dragon!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Yes, we will be checking it out after the Jeep invasion

I have a stock Subaru Crosstrek. I love taking it off road. But I don't want to tear it up. We are planning a trip to Gatlinburg for later this year. Any suggestions on some trails that are mostly gravel with a couple of easy challenges.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Cades Cove and Parsons Branch

[@laylock4]

Awesome! Any of these you’d stay away from in a Subaru Outback? Planning on being in the WNC sections of the SM1000 at the end of Oct in our Subaru.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

You should be fine

[@devinburke95_yjwillysediti48]

Can you put a list of these trails in the comments so it would make it easier to look them up and find? Really enjoy ur videos and hope to run into yall one day when you're near the foothills of North Carolina again.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Hope to see you all out sometime. We will try and get a list. With work and traveling we have not had much time. Sorry.

[@devinburke95_yjwillysediti48]

@Coddiwomple Overland I understand how that is about how does the new trailer wight you got. After seeing it I think that would be the best thing to use with my yj.

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

This one weighs 2,600 lbs

@@CoddiwompleOverland ok do they have some that are a little lighter. Does the x grid in Knoxville have a website I can visit.

[@brianwolfe9472]

Thanks for sharing these. I have a stock JKU with recovery boards but no winch. Would any of these trails you described be too much for my jeep? I have had it out on some rough trails including the alpine loop (engineer pass) in CO and it did ok there. Thanks!

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

You could any of these trails. Only one that would concern me would be Shad Rd. It has a deep mud hole with no bypass.

[@danjonas7024]

What would you do, northern or southern half of the SM1000, if you only had 4-5 days of vacation?

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Southern

[@courtlandwilliams1705]

I’m trying to find a few of these but North Carolina 105 just shows a major hwy I don’t see any trail and frog level road just pulls up a random normal road in a town I can’t find a twin falls anywhere close

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

The 105 is notied as a hyw from Linville Falls to Lake James State park. Frog Level Rd. Is FS- 50 in the Cherokee NF. It is just east of the Dennis Cove campground

[@stephencarbajal5657]

I have a question for ya completely off topic, when you originally purchased your mojave you has the lift installed to run the 37's I believe? My question is the dealer drilled out sleeve in shock bushings to accommodate the bigger 14mm mounting bolts, have you had any issues?

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

No issues at all.

[@stephencarbajal5657]

@@CoddiwompleOverland awesome thanks for the help. Great rig

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

Thanks!

[@timflaherty2731]

You have the rich mountain fire Tower right after Wilson Creek but they don’t seem to be that close to each other at all?

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

This is just the top 10 trails not placed in geographic order

[@cincicycles]

Bill, have you ever encountered a bear along the Smoky, DBBB or KAT?

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

We have a couple of times on the Virginia side of the KAT but that is all

[@timflaherty2731]

Where is Frog Level Road?

[@CoddiwompleOverland]

I would have to go look the exact location up.

[@timflaherty2731]

@@CoddiwompleOverland even if you could list the State and general area that would narrow it down.
