It was really great meeting everyday. I never thought when I put this up last Saturday we'd get this many ppl. Thanks to everybody for coming out.

 

Count me in next time ! Anybody know where I can get my lift put on in the philly\ Jersey area that has weekend hrs ? I have all the parts.

Had a GREAT time today.....Appreciated everyones patience and me asking a million questions. Drove home with a huge smile on!

Def want to do it again..and again..and again!

Any tips on cleaning the disaster under the hood? I power washed it but from afar at the car wash..still looks like a dirt explosion under there.

 

My friend took a lot of pics and he said he's going to edit them and post them up. He got some awesome shots.
Here's one :-)

 

look at that smile

 

We will have to hook up with Jay and get out there again real soon. ONly this time, I am telling him to skip the dry roads! hahaha

 

totally agree.. it was def a nice group.. and def wetter roads!!!

 

Ok. Today was a good day. Those first time wheelers did good. It was nice meeting everyone

Couple things,

1. If you don't have a snorkel slowdown!!!! Couple people did not listen and plowed into that deep hole we came up too. One picture shows a stocker dropping in there way to fast! I have seen guys hydro in 6" of water. You never know what is in the hole, how fast it drops etc. those holes can change over night!

2. These trails are the same as blacktop roads! You can get the same tickets! Wheeel smart not dumb! When I tell you an area is off limits and illegal I mean it!! I know it's tempting and fun. I was young once too like you! Park police are on edge last few years and are enforcing rules and regs that in the past were not heavely enforced! DEP is cracking down and will take your vehicle! Conservation officers are now out patrolling in unmarked trucks and have more power than a trooper, ranger or anyone else in the state and the are exempt for the most part to need a reason to search and seize you or your rig!

Only area legal is the trial! Side pits, go arounds, hill climbs etc are all off limits! Officers will let you go if they see you using a go around for that reason of going around. But if you are in it then wheelig and playing in it or around it your done! Ticket!

Some of you may think I was a buzz killer or an a$$ for saying not to go in certain areas and stopping you. I'm sorry. But I wheel the state ground legally. I push it to it limits most of the time when with my club but when I am leading a new group with new people I don't know or they haw never wheeled I show the right way to do it not the wrong! I have friendships with the majority of the park police and am personal friends with a few and I'm at there homes alot! I have wheeling these woods since I was a thought in my dads nut sack! I know what I'm talking about.

Lastly. If you are with a group and don't like what's happening and want to break off fine. But tell the person who is leading! This if for safety of the group and ability to plan. You go off and go play and get jammed up, then need help it makes it difficult to help you, by locating you not knowing what is happening etc even during the day and even more harder at night!. I do search and recovery for my club and also for the park police. Everything from vehicles to people to lost dogs.

Sorry for the rant. Just hope all had a good time.
