NJ - 4/1 or 4/2 - Anyone for quick day of 4x4ing/photos in the pines?

Hey guys.

I'm new here and just popping in to say hello and some other things. I don't mean to unnecessarily populate the message board, but I'm just reaching out on several avenues to make some connections.

Either way...

This may be a little last minute but is anyone out there in CNJ or SNJ down for a quick day in Wharton for some Piney trails?

Long story short, I review cars for my company and I have a pretty neat and brand new '14 Tacoma Limited I'm testing for a week, and I'd like to put it in its element a little more instead of just driving it around town. I unfortunately return the car Thursday but I'd like to get some trail time in as well as some photos for my editorial.

It is also unfortunately limited to all but the muddiest and loosest of surfaces due to road tires, so I wouldn't be looking to go too crazy. But being a taco, I know you can go a decent amount of places with it without too much trouble.

But since I heard the Pineys can be unpredictable (especially with this rain we just had), I'd like to have someone join me in a little caravan for some support and direction. Plus whoever comes will get to have a fun day out and I have no problem including whoever in my editorial/taking some shots of whoever comes out with my cam.

I'll be getting cars throughout the year so there will be chances that I could get 4x4-capable cars and would like to make some new friends!

So if anyone's interested, reply here or PM me and I'd like to rendezvous!

Hope to see some interest!

Thanks!

 

I can't make it, but you should not go alone. The puddles can be very unexpectedly deep and I have seen them sink a truck on 38" boggers. Avoid them and the mud which can be greasy and you can get stuck very easily. Be careful.

 

Wasn't plannin on going alone at all, hence this post. but thanks for the heads up!

 

You could try posting in here http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/north-east/274779-nj-b-s-thread.html too and the PA thread.

 

That would be ok? I know some boards are iffy about multiple posts of the same content, wouldn't want to get the "insta-ban" stick right off the bat

 

this....

Just pop in and say hello and what your looking to do. No worry about a ban. It's all good. I don't know of anyone wheeling during the weekdays, but you never know.

 

lol it's usually me, but the pineys killed my PS pump and im changing it tomorrow

 

Thanks guys, will definitely give that a try .

That sucks man, sorry to hear. I was sort of in a similar situation a few years ago with a friend's truck--was riding shotgun during the winter months and fell through an iced-over puddle, rupturing the steering rack and draining all the PS fluid.

Needless to say, the 3 mile trek back to the main road wasn't a fun one. Hope you get it fixed soon.

 

Jeez, sucks. Thanks, yeah I'm tackling it tomorrow with another member. GL finding someone to wheel with, wish I could make it.

 

Tried posting in that NJ thread, but I keep getting an SQL error...anyone else getting that? Could it be because I'm a newbie? Tried deleting my cache and restarting the browser/pc, and nada.

 

Your just trying to post right? Here right? http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/north-east/274779-nj-b-s-thread-1030.html#post8441153

 

Yessir, tried the normal "post reply" and the quick reply and get a MySQL error.

 

working on it. brought it to the attention of a mod.

 

Cool! Thanks

 

hm...Brunes doesn't know. PM TCbob and ask him to look into it.

 

From the frenchies meet? How?!

 

I also just posted in the NJ section about wharton close enough to pine... I can not make your dates but i would like to go next week some times. Would be great if we could get a small group together for a quick adventure.
