Default Beginner wheeling in NJ?

Hey guys/gals.

Can anyone here recommend me to some good NJ offroading trails? I've had my Rubicon since April now, and the most "offroading" i've done was an illegal over-the-median uturn off of rt.18.
Nothing advanced nor too crazy. I'm a beginner so im only going to stick to the light stuff...for now. The Rubi is also still stock, no winch, so getting stuck in heavy mud is not an option.
Can anyone help me out?
Looking for something like this place wherever this is...

If you are available I am heading to Rausch Creek this Saturday and was looking to do Green(easy) and Blue(intermediate) trails. Your stock Rubi will have no problems with these trails. I am probably going to hook up with a small group that is planning on running blues and maybe a black(hard) or two but since I will have my wife and two boys with me I don't have any problem staying on the easier stuff, let me know if you are interested. From your profile location Rausch is about a 2 to 2.5 hour drive for you strait out I-78 to I-81. And don't forget to register for the JK Fest at Rausch in October.

Hey Evo, you missed the big ride in pine barrons we just did on sunday, it was great, njja.org ran the event, we had 60jeeps of all kinds. Dont wheel alone is all I can say, and if you dont get stuck you arent wheeling hard enough haha. You would be very surprised what a stock rubi can do. Everytime I've been to the pine barrons we've had stock x's with us, no big deal if you get stuck. Hell we all got stuck on sunday, some multiple times
