Pine Barrens, NJ: Wheeling and Meet Ups

[Driftinfc]

I still cant believe yall are gonna go out there with out a well knowledged trail leader that actually knows the roads out there. If the 6" lift is done in time, I will be out there and most likely in the 6" lifted FJ instead of mine. Ill keep yall informed. If I cant make it, yall are gonna take a huge risk of running into problems or into spots where its off limits. not trying to talk yall down from going out. but its just my 2cents. every 4runner run I've joined in on and was trail leader on, I was the only snorkeled ride and probably the only ride with the scuba mod as well. if I run into something deep, no biggie, but if yall run into something deep on accident cause there are no go arounds (yes there are spots with no go arounds. especially the route I took everyone on the first 4runner run where alex killed his tranny) then yall will be screwed..or atleast the trail leader will be.

Also the spot where drift was talking about going, "across from the Atco Raceway", that spot is soooo HOT with cops. Yall would be idiots to go out there. I know a ton of people who prefer that area for wheeling and they will even tell you the hundreds of dollars they've paid in tickets cause of being caught in that section of the woods. I've never even been to that section cause who wants to pay a ticket or possibly have their truck impounded?

Also, I pretty much know how deep the holes are in Wharton, I can tell you which ones are easy to go through and I can tell you the ones that ive seen F250s on 42s get stuck in. You have to know which way to go in a hole as well. Going through the center is NEVER the best choice. If there is no go around, you have to know how to handle the hole properly, either it be hugging the left or right side of the hole, or trying your best to ride the ridge where the ruts are not at.

All in all, all I'm trying to say is you need to be careful out there and not just plunge head first into the center of a hole. Also, if you don't know where you're going, its easy as hell to get lost in Wharton! I was lost before and its not fun. I ended up on a trail that ISNT on google maps and well, lets just say my black Tacoma looked like I had went through a barb wire fence cause of all the pin stripes from going down a dirtbike/hiking path. Totally a shitty night and almost got stuck in a hole I never encountered before that had NO go around. Yes, almost stuck in a 7" lifted Taco on 35s......

I've gone in there numerous times without Any problems, maybe it was the people u knew being dicks?who knows. Also, we ended up going in off of 206 so I would recommend one of those entrances.

On topic: Let's stay away from the cops if we can...

That's why we should try to stay on the marked trails unless someone is familiar with others.

So it looks like it's 10am at the Pic-a-Lilli?

I'm considering going with you guys. I'm about 40 min from the Pic-a-Lilly, so it wouldn't be a bad drive... just don't need any altercations with the police. I literally had my insurance company call and say if i get any more points on my licence, they are dropping me.

Ok, sounds good. I'm 90% sure I'll be there. I got a 1 yr old, so you never know when something will pop up, but aside from that, I'm in. See you at the Pic-a-Lilly @ 10

Points are assigned for traffic violations. Even if you do go off road illegally - you are looking at fines for property damage and tresspassing but as those aren't traffic related crimes they have nothing to do with your license and no points are assigned. With that said, fines can be nasty - $250+

Of course if you try to run - then it becomes evading/eluding...

In short. Yes absolutley keep it legal - but you're not getting points...

 

[DeeBreezy]

Yea, i was floored when they called. They actually said we ARE dropping you from the insurance, and when I said I would like to appeal this decision they said, ok ok, we are going to keep you, but 1 more point....

Yea I kinda thought that would be the case, but I wasn't 100% sure or not. I've always thought that points were assigned for any "moving violations". Not sure exactly where the definition of "moving violations" falls in regards to driving off road. Thanks for the info. 250$ fines I can deal with, searching for a new insurance company, I cant. (Home Owners, Car and Life Insurance all under 1 policy)

Dee, I don't kno if it helps but my aunt has an agency. It's called Paul's insurance agency, if u say u kno Rey she will hook u up. Only downside is its in the hood lol

haha thanks drift, i dont shy away from the hood. the insurance i have is through a special company and you have to be a cop/firefighter/work for the state or be related to someone(father-in-law) to get on their insurance. its dirt cheap and has lots of perks. premiums dont go up with accidents...etc. which is why im trying so hard to stay on it! but ill keep Paul's insurance in mind cuz im one blown red light away from being on the search!

Has anyone been identified as the leader for the March 17 run? Do they know the trails and the rules?
