Just seeing if anyone is near me. Northern NJ ?

Be cool to find some like-minded jeep people that may be down to find cool roads and routes to take. Maybe grab a beer someday and bs about jeeps!

Hi Chris, I'm in central eastern part of NJ (near Asbury Park). I tend to go south into pine barrens. Are there any good trails up north?

North Jersey here too, Bergen County. No real legal trails up this way that I've heard about, but I've been wanting to try to run the northern part of the Trans New Jersey Trail which starts off - though from my searches it seems sections of it were washed out/damaged with TS Ida and the flood waters. Still, a meet n' greet would be cool!

Edit: Forgot to finish my statement above, it starts at High Point State Park. I was researching the exact spot and got distracted LOL.

Hey Gary. Not to my knowledge man =(

I have been going up route 17 and just going to Warwick NY. That is a nice ride. Pop the top and at least enjoy some cool scenery. I'm also down to try pine Barrens but I'm going to keep it real. I'm not a real off roader. Lol I like the idea of some light trails or mud or sand but have no desire to smash up my lovely jeep on some rocks lol

Nice, I'm real close! Feel free to PM me here. Hopefully some more members chime in on this thread and we can set something up for local JL owners!

Hi Chris,

I am in your backyard in Haworth. There are no legal trails in Bergen county. I have been heading out to Rausch and AOAA multiple times a year. A bit of a trek, but worthwhile.

Hey all! Have you guys gotten together for a ride yet? I just got back from the Pines/Wharton State Park area. No rock crawling there. Check out the multiple videos on Youtube for Pine Barrens NJ and Wharton State Park NJ. I was trying to find that little rock hill in one of the videos with the NY guys in Suzukis, LOL, with no success. I like more technical stuff over mud bogging but any day out is better than being on the asphalt! I plan to head West this summer and hit the trails in Utah, Colorado and Arizona.

Over twenty years ago, I went out with Long Island Off-Road a few times. They had a few Upstate NY locations. Check their website. I also joined NJ Jeep Association last month. Membership is cheap and they have a private forum. Check out their website too. They post impromptu runs and is scheduled to go out to AAOA at the end of February.

I also would like to go out with you guys if scheduling and timing permits.

Bergen county here. I don't go wheeling as much as I would like to, but I second AOAA and Rausch. I did a Jeep Jamboree last year at AOAA in a Gladiator on 37s and it was a blast. I used to go to the pine barrens with my JKs, but I really don't like running in water anymore...too many electrical gremlins.

I agreed with the gremlins. I backtracked a few times when the puddles were deep and side skirted a few areas. Spectators thought me being off camber was more dangerous than me going through water that was up to the floor board. What do they know! They dont drive a JL! LOL

Have you guys looked at a place up by you called "Stag Hill"? I just saw a few videos on Youtube. Seems like fun.

Way back (probably 20-25 years ago) a group of guys I used to hang out with at the local Dunkin' would go wheeling up in that area. They had Jeeps and full-size Chevy trucks. It doesn't seem "legal" but also doesn't seem like you're going to get hassled if you're up there. I don't know anyone that's been up there recently though to verify, and it looks like a place you'd probably want to go with someone who's been there before and knows what trails are friendly for stock or seriously modded Jeeps.

Thanks for the insight. I'll stay clear...
