Hi, can some gentleman be really nice and let me know the exact location/gps coordinates of that open play ground area (or Frenchies Pit?)? Many thanks in advance. My buddy and I were in Pine Barrens last Dec and were not able to find that area. We really want to find the place in our next trip...

Yes, please! PMed you. Thanks.

Really nice videos and pics! Looks like tons of fun! Can someone pinpoint the location of that wide open "play ground" area on the map? I have been to Wharton a couple of times but were not able to find that spot. Thanks a lot!!!!!

I used to live in Princeton and just moved to PA. I still have my NJ license plate so still considered a Jersey runner :)) I highly recommend Wharton forest for light off roading. I have been there more than 10 times. Stock runner is perfectly fine. The trials in Wharton are mostly sandy roads...

Thanks for the reply. These plates are just bare steel and there is no rust. I am wondering if I can get away from sanding it. I feel powder coat is hard to DIY. Iron phosphate(rust converter)+POR-15 sounds like a good option. I know people in this forum painted BB plates by themselves and...

In 2009 Toyota came out two 4Runner packages, urban runner and TE. The TE has Atrac and rear locker, which are the same as the FJ. For all the non TE models, Toyota Specs always says trac control system. But I guess I am not too surprised to learn that Toyota just wanted to sell some concept.

I have been reading several posts about Atrac on 4Gen. However I noticed that from Toyota official information only the 2009 TE has Atrac. There is a button for it. Other models only have trac control. I feel most people talked about here are actually trac control but not Atrac since their cars...

Was this in south NJ? Which beach allows you to drive on?

I am in NJ and it is 4-5 hrs drive so I planned to stay one night there. For the hunting season do you mean the hunting areas are mixed up with the ATV/OHV areas and it is not very safe driving inside? Thanks.

Hi, I have been reading this forum for a while but this is my first post. I am a beginner of off roading. Thinking to have a two day trip to GWNF and do some wheeling on the trails during the winter break. I know GWNF is great in spring and summer but not sure it is good place to go in winter...
