Nice.. 
I did those same trails in my 98 TJ a few years back. I agree for the most part you can really enjoy the trails and not get in too much trouble. Only problem was if you ever did find trouble, it got bad fast even if only for a short section. They may have made go arounds now but back then some of the really bad stuff didn't have any short cuts so you really had to watch the trail rating. I had a 3" Rusty's lift, 32" BFG AT's, winch and pretty much stock other than that on the TJ.. didn't have much problems. But I didn't push the 6 ft drop offs
, boulders, and really bad stuff either
. Really a fun place to ride. Some cabins you can rent just out the south gate for a good weekend away.

More Tellico Pics
By the way, I think a bunch of us want to go back again before Tellico closes for the Winter so this could be another chance for some great trail riding.
Squeezing by RotorHead's group:
08{GA}Rubicon leads the way:
Rubi wheels, but no lift and only the occasional rub:
Lots of rhododendron:
Crawling with stock tires:
These guys went up Trail 6 (moderate) and were heading down Trail 4 when we meet up with them at Fain's Ford. Both JKs are stock:
Just for fun:
07JKX was only running 12lbs of air (note the rear tire on that boulder). Most of the others were running around 18lbs:
Winding up the trail:
No lift, but nice bumper:
Stock tires still on this Sahara:

Those are some great pix Gary. I certainly regret staying home from that trip. From the pix, the trails don't look much harder than Mountainside. I would love to go next time.
