Wheeling in Pine Barrens NJ Nov 17th, 2012

Guys coming from the princeton area, I can meet up in the Shoprite on 206 which was proposed a couple posts back (does the Friendly's parking lot work?). I'm Amit by the way.
 
Anyone have a HiLift jack? And a base to put it on if needed (doubled up plywood, 4x4 wood blocks)

Also how about air pump to air back up afterwards.

It is soft terrain.
 
Important information

So i just spoke with representative from Batsto Village, she said wharton state park is over 110000 acres of land and has 600miles of road, people from NY and Boston might go back through the park just joking. If you put 31 Batsto road Hammanton NJ 08037, navi takes you to the wrong place. Just use Batsto Village and it will take you to the right place. I put the name and it finds the address, which is the same but for some reason if you use the address won't take you there. We definately need to meet at Batsto Village so we can pick up a map to use in a park.

Was this cross posted to the 5th gen forum? Maybe we would get a little more response from the 5th gen's

I don't see why not! The more the merrier!

What tires u had on the 4R on the pics?

It was 6 months old and bone stock when I took it to Paragon. Dunlop GranTreks? I changed out to Revos (265/70/17) at around 8k miles. Much better tires.

My F150 has BFG AT/KO's and a 1" front level.
 
Fords are only allowed if they bring a complete recovery kit (due to them getting stuck at EVERY obstacle)! :lol:

Koz

Heh. Someone's gonna have to pull your overweight luxobarge out of the mud. I'll have recovery gear for you :p.
 
Everyone please use my link to google maps on page 7 of this thread, because if you just use the address 31 Batsto rd Hammanton NJ it will take you to other end of pine barrens. Basicly we need to meet at Batsto Village if anyone gets lost.

I see only 5 pages TOTAL.

You need to just edit your first post with the most up to date info - my head is already spinning.

Yes, Yes and Yes. But seriously, Pep Boys will sell you a cheap compressor which most should already have.

Never having been there so I don't know but I thought I read somewhere where most don't air down there. No true? What pressure is best?
 
I have a question for those who know...

When in 4x4 off roading like we will be hows the traction controll situation? I've never been through mud or water where you will need to be on the gas to get through. i HATE the fact that i I cant disable TC like on other cars and hate how when it kicks on it kills the power. I can see that being a real bummer trying to power through some mud
 
I took my old 2003 4Runner off road in some pretty deep mud. It was stock too (pic of it covered in mud in my build thread). I locked the diff and the VSC didn't kick in. ATRAC worked very well though and didn't cut power.

Direction to meeting spot

Here is a link to google maps Google Maps

Please use "Batsto Village" when looking for meeting spot, if you use the physical address it takes you to another side of Pine Barrens. When writing in navigation Batsto Village it takes you to the right place.
