Starting a new thread regarding the spring Pine Barrens Run seeing there's some interest. So far we've got Me ( bentparts) and ecoast going for the weekend of the 27th/28th of March. Either day, Sat or Sun is good. Anyone else interested, chime in. For those of you more that an hour or two away, I have room at my place to crash ( no pun intended) if you need it.
For anyone trailering your rigs, there's parking for large trailers at the Atsion Ranger Station located on RT 206 S and Quakerbridge/Atsion Rd. I also have a large paved parking area at my place too. To run in the Wharton State Forest you need a quasi street legal rig, meaning tags and proof of reg and insurance.
-
ill be there, any more info? price and such
-
Hell, the Pine Barrens, Wharton State Forest, Bryden Byrne, and Chatsworth are all FREE. All you need is a street legal rig. I't's gonna be an all day ride, so be prepared with lunch, snacks and drinks and such. Just make sure your rig is prepared and ready too. A CB is also a good idea if you've got one. For more info on the area google Wharton State Forest, New Jersey and Pinelands National Reserve. Over 1,000,000 acres. Many, many miles of forest trails, fire cuts, and very primitive trails. We still haven't settled on a day yet, Saturday or Sunday. It's up to the Majority, Either is good for me, I only live a half hour form there. I'd like to be rolling on the Trails by no later than 10:00am, so meetup at the Atsion Ranger Station on RT 206 S and Atsion/Quakerbridge Rd. around 9:00am. Make sure you have a full tank of gas too.
-
sounds like a plan, either day is good for me aswell, good thing the lift and tires our on there way! should be all done by next week, dont have a cb but i guess its a good time to get one
-
either day is good; but being there |removethispart|@ 9AM is bad!
I've been talking to redidbull; also a friend, and he's in CT.
So it's about 2 hours for me, and a bit more for him... we'll do our best.
Of course, my rig is still in pieces! :sleepy:
-
We can make it later no Prob, say Noon?
-
...even 11 would be ok; if he's coming from CT, he will either stay by me or down there somewheres...
-
You guys are welcome to stay here if you want. I've got a spare room with it's own bathroom, and another sleeping place ( futon) if you'd like.

Well thanks, Mike! ...if the wives are all there it may turn into a party!? (hmmm, then 11 might be optimistic!)....j/k
I will convey to Jim; I ad also oferred him the same...
-
Party sounds fun. Yeah, may have to make it more like 1:00!
-

I'll call you this week...
looks as if jerseyzuks/ Dan may accompany as well...
-
Great, sounds good.
-
I should be good to go. but there seems to be some confusion as to when we're meeting at the ranger station....
-
TBA...
-
Yeah, were still finalizing day and times, so keep checking her for the updates. Good to have you aboard Cheaptracker. ecoast you better get that rig together!
-
Want to come up for dinner? -- Oh...wear some old clothes!
PS w/coolermostly in; just need to make a bracket for the pump.
Re-timed belt; I was one tooth off. New radiator; first one from rockauto leaked...warranteed, no prob.
Pulled the front bumper, pushbar, axle, and S/R yesterday; no turning back now...
I work better w/a deadline.
Sometimes.
-
;) Ha! Been there too! I take it this isn't the 4 door you picked up down south? I mean you could have slapped a little lift and some tires on that one and been good to go down here ( well, with a tow strap, some floatation gear, and a willingness to get out and push a lot!) Just kidding ya. I'm working on some roof repair on my addition, and ceiling repair to the same ( had some water damage after all that wet snow.) Should be done with that by the end of the week. If you still need a hand I could come up early next week for a day of welding and wrench thrashin'.
-
Count me in, but the Zuk won't be ready by then (no garage + limited time = not getting done)
Geoff and I will be wheeling the family truckster (the Dakota)
-
Hey Jerseyzuks, were a "nondenomational" group. All faiths are welcome, even jeeps and dodges! Franklinville is only about a half hour or less from me, how come we've never hooked up before?

I'm not sure. Have you ever been to GonZookin or Zuwharrie? How about the Pine Barron's clean up run?
Where about's are you located?
-
I was at the last gonzukin in Rousch Creek, and last years PineBarrens Clean Up Run. I live in Runnemeade on Evesham Rd. I'm kinda hard to miss with the bright Red / polished aluminum trimmed Tracker. Pretty sure it's the only turbocharged one around too.
-
Spoke to bentparts this morn; Sunday the 28th is the day....
-
That's right folks! Sunday, 28th of March, looks like we'll be meeting up at Atsion Ranger Station, Rt. 206 S and Atsion Rd/Quakerbridge Rd. around 10:00am. Be there!

I'm one of the organizers of GonZookin... I'm the guy that calls the raffle on Sat night. I missed the PineBarrens clean up last year.
Depending on the weather, we will probably be doing some wheeling on Sat, camping Sat night, then meeting up with everyone else on Sunday. If anyone wants to meet up with us for a run on Sat, or wants to camp with us on Sat night, email me at

PUT IT ON YOUR CALENDER! MARCH 28TH LOST IN THE PINEY'S II. PRAY FOR GOOD WEATHER!
-
DAMN! wish I could go! I had a blasty blast on round one of the pineys! Don't worry....I WILL be making it back there eventually to test out my F-150. And Mike, I still have your coil springs too. I'll bring them with me whenever I make it down there to blast through the pines. Hope you guys have a good time on the 28th! Wear your seat belts.....and be careful on the hill climbs!! Mike will know what I mean..... >:D

Been raining again, so the trails WILL BE muddy, and some deep water crossings to be expected. Got a call from a friend on mine who's a volunteer fire fighter for the forest service yesterday. Seem there have been some incidents of " booby traps " being found in some of the mud holes and low areas in the trails where water collects. The traps are pretty elaborate, consisting of a welded together framework with tire ripping spikes layed out on rows. They lie just below the water level, and due to the muddy nature of the water cannot be seen easily. It's believed ( by the Forest Service ) that they're the work of a radical tree hugger group who want to keep vehicles out of the trails. What's weird is they are mostly found on the MAIN through roads in the forest, where most of the tourest traffic is. We will be on those roads for only a short time getting to the real trails, but have to keep alert.
The forcast for Sunday is cloudy with showers, so be prepared for wet weather. we may need to get out and pull " booby traps" out of the water holes. Hope to see you all there!

I just saw this. It a little late to get going. Would there be room for a motorhome if it is on Saturday. Opps looks like it is on Sunday. Not sure that would work. Darn
Still kicking it around.
-
Plenty of room for your motorhome skitime if you decide to come. If you wanted to come Sat. evening, you could park at the Ranger Station and stay there, There's a large ( 4/5 acre parking area on grass for all the horse and motorbike trailers that come on the nicer weekends) but there's no hookups. You could also park it at my place, I have a pretty large driveway, and I can hook you up with electric.
-
Just wanting to see who's still interested in coming for Sundays run. Check in?
-
i'm still in. my buddy justin knows every trail in Wharton State forest is coming in his HUGE Toyota SAS on 38.5 boggers too! should be a good day of trails. There was a ton of water out there last weekend, so be warned. But i didn't flood my tracker and i went everywhere and i'm only 3-3.5" Suspension on 31" BFG AT's NO SNORKEL.... so don't be scared everything is bypass-able!
See you gyus out there! FYI I'm Mark (easy to spot... i'm 6'6" 230) I'll be in a white 90 tracker.
Anyone aware of any last minute cancellations of the entire trip please call me.... i don't get on here much
856-304-nine three five nine
THANKS!

Thanks for the offer Mike. I will have to take you up on that offer another weekend. This is just too crazy around here. Have fun and post some pics.
-
SO, I have to ask, did this happen and where's the pics if it did? I JUST saw this now.
-
Yes, it did actually happen, and no, not one of us decided to bring a camera, or even take pice with our cell phones! Talk about a lazy bunch, all we did is ride all day, and pull each other out of the mud! Fun was had by all though , just no pics.

-
Yeah your right Eric, no proof means we MUST do it to prove it ! I'm game for goin out again, weathers gettin' real nice too. I guess you got a new wallet by now ecoast? :P
-
...the prior weekend we had a fellas trip to OCMD for golf, I KNEW it had to be in my buddies car, had him look THREE times, I looked the fourth time... ::) found....but I was unable to get to the car 'til Sunday night...
My junk was not ready, but I wanted to go w/you and Dan; been friendly w/him since fall Zu and had gone to his wedding reception and wanted to continue to build up my 'zuki friends'...yerself incl...
...down to shocks and bumpstops.
Picking up 6 bfg mud terrains for $150 Thurs. night as well for my 'street' tires.
-
Well alright then. You and Dan should figure out a way to come down and spend the night at my place and we could all wheel the next day. Get that rig finished!
-
You are VERY kind, Mike...I definately felt bad about not making it.
Did you see the Zu thread on what happened to Dan?
deep water + Dodge Dakota = No RUNNER! ;D
-
Yeah I read about that, big bummer for sure. Did he ever get it running again?
-
s; it's a DD
shame you did not get to see/meet him; another nice guy and asset to our zuk community; one of the organizers for gonzookin |removethispart|@ Rausch Creek, first weekend of August, I think.

I'm going to be at Raush Creek this Saturday as a last offroading event then it's getting torn apart for at least new rings (compression is horrible), the rear crossmember replaced as its rotted out (fuel filter is ziptied up cause bracket ripped off and the majority of the center of the bar is gone). Probably do a 2-3" body lift, then possibly a steel rear bumper after I redo the mounts for my front bumper.
IF I have time after all that I might try to get the turbo on in time for the Gonzookin event.
-
Whew! big list 2000S/R, good luck getting all that done! I actually need to do some maintenence on my junk too, but haven't had the time because I've been working on other peoples junk, but hey, I'm glad I'm workin'!
