I haven't been out there, but I've heard from all my jeep buddies that it is no place for a truck. I was wondering the same thing, and they said you would probably mess your truck up pretty bad taking it out there.

There has got to be tons of trails in PA though.

he drives a jeep, of course he's gonna tell you that. i'd go out there with him or something, or walk it by myself and see what i thought of it. if you think you can make it without messing your truck up, go for it

The Pines is where I do most of my wheeling. If you've heard of Atco, theres plenty of trails and wheelin out there too (closer then heading towards the shore). The one thing about the pines is as someone else mentioned, its mostly sandy mud... so it does tend to tear stuff up if you don't hose down your undercarriage after you have it out. Heading down more towards the Pines is fun though because the trails are almost endless.
Not sure if you're in NJ or PA, but me and my buddies go out a few times a month at least trail riding (tryna keep it out of the **** because always end up having to fix something afterwards haha). Always looking for more people to head out with.

The Pine Barrens are a lot of fun. Not as good as Rausch Creek or Paragon, but still a lot of fun. Just make sure you know how deep the water crossings are before you cross them. A lot of the trails are narrow and will give your trucks a lot of pin striping. Here are a few pics from the Atco area.

Haha, thats my same story. I know a guy in the NJJA, and thats were I got my info from. He said he took his truck, and it didn't turn out to well.

All I want to do is go on some nice trails in my truck. Some mud is fine, but don't want anything too crazy. Just to where if you didn't have 4x4 and a/t you couldn't make it.

I have a YJ that I use to take offroad. It just sits now. No time for mudding. Sucks b/c that thing is awesome. 33s, winch, SBC V8. I love taking that thing out.

When my and my buddy's go we usually go out near the race track... or down burnt mill road if you know that one. Are those spots anywhere near there? I don't recall ever really seeing any stuff like that where we go. Been trying to get a group together to go explore other areas but that might have to wait for warmer weather.
Going out by the raceway tomorrow actually to go play in the snow thats been coming down today haha. Maybe I'll see ya out there

The YJ is lifted 3" w/ 33"s, the XJ is 4-5" on 33s and the last one is stock I think. A YJ w/ 3" & 33s sits about as high as a stock height F150.

Nah, not familiar w/ those areas. Those pics were taken near Atco/Atsion, but I usually went wheelin further north near Whiting. I haven't been out since I sold the Jeep but would like to take the f150 on some tame trails at some point.
