well, this weekend we went on an outing in Ramsey NJ [i was a bit reluctant to join because i wasnt quite sure about the legality of the trails...]

however, as it turns out there were NO "no trespassing" "private property" or any other type of signs there ANY where on the miles of trails we were on. [although we were made aware that if we were to have made a left at a certain point, it would have been county property and we'd have been in loads of trouble had we been caught.

so anyway, it was not illegal.

on the trip was: me [94 chero], my buddy [white 89 yj], a buddy who owns a shop [88 yj to the right of the photo], and three of his buddies - - in order from left to right-- 01 tj 7" lift 33s, explorer sportrax couple inches and 33s, and another tj with 6.5 and 35s.

all open diffs except the white yj [a posi, not a locker]


the trails were pretty easy. a lot of spots were 2wd. but there were some spots that got my rear puckered a bit. almost flopped at one point, but saved my self with a bit of gas and some good spotting.

actually there were a couple almost flops, but we managed to get out with no damage. [the only damage i suffered was a dent in the rear right fender well -which means all the more insentive for me to trim :confused1 ]

anyway, here are some pics i took with my phone. im trying to get a hold of the videos and pics that the spotters took, but im not sure if ill be able to...

hopefully if i get the other pics and vids ill be able to post up some action shots... i hate poser pics...
 
by the way, at the top of the trail, we found a COMPLETELY burned 4 DOOR WRANGLER. singed to the bone. unsalvagable... insurance maybe?

anyway, im thinking about taking another trip up and grabbing me some new axles...
 
looks like you had fun! nice xj by the way!
 
did you take any pics of the jk? i bet there is a great story there
 
no, im probably going over there again in a month, so when i get to that point, ill take some pics.

at first i didnt realize it. it was so destroyed. then i noticed the hood shape and thought "hmmm an old wrangler or CJ". then when i got up to it, i noticed the four doors.. i was a bit upset, if someone wants to burn it, send it to me, ill take it free of charge :)

it was totally destroyed. my belief is that someone took it there for the insurance money... dont know why on a vehicle that new, but thats the only thing i can come up with.
 
well... kind of upset, there were WAY less pics and videos than i had thought, though some may be waiting to go up still...

here are a few that they got... [note swaybars attached]
