its almost impossible to even go wheelin in NJ now. New laws were passed against ATVs/Bikes/4wheelers in ALL local state forests. If your caught in there, you can get a $500 fine, impoundment of vehicle, have to pay for towing and pay upto a $200 fine to the state forest..not to mention POSSIBLE 2 year suspension of lisence depending on severity of fine. WHAT THE HECK!? Its almost not even worth having a 4wheel truck. I'm gonna be freaked out a my mind to even pop it in 4wd now. I can;t afford any of those fines, and its just ridiculous. Anybody else from Jersey worried? Why drive a lifted truck, if we can;t use them

 

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! That really bites the big one man. Sorry to hear, but I guess the saying is true, a few bad apples spoil the bunch.

 

I feel for you...I lived in NY for 5 years...seemed to be absolutely no place to wheel unless you knew someone with a farm..I had some pretty good wheeling on Ft. Drum though...
Good luck to you and keep hammering you local state rep to get it fixed!

 

Sadly..i dont think this one is getting fixed guys. Its been a LONG fight...and we lost it. I dont know where that puts me with my truck, and the same with my buddies. Why drive lifted offroad trucks...when we are FORCED to stay on paved roads

 

Well, that really bites. If it was me, I would buy a set of A/T's and drive the truck like that. I love my truck too much to get rid of it just because I can't wheel.

 

I have a set of 3 ATs on it now..i swapped from the 36s to the 33s for now. That is, until we can figure out whats going on with our wheeling!

 

Move to British Columbia, Canada, haha there are no air care laws here and enough bush to freaking get yourself lost for years. Cops are way more slack too just dont get cuaght going through any rivers and your golden

 

Heheh, if you like that. Stay up north in BC.
Here in southern bc we have yearly aircare, and cops that are tough on off road rigs.

 

I am only 4 hours north of Vancouver. Do you know where Powell River is Jay?

 

Did you get the situation with your used 36's straightened out? you have been getting hit with both barrels....

 

I'm very sorry to hear this.

I feel bad for you.

I hope that those who feel tread lightly is a waste of time will benefit from this knowledge. It's a real problem.

 

Sad enough to say, no. I know the general area but... no

 

i may end up sellin her..but i dont know

 

Noooo!! Stupid laws.

 

You take a ferry at horshoe bay and go up the through seashelt and then another ferry to powell river. If you didn't have to take a ferry and could drive it would only be like 2 hours away. If you ever get the chance to come up here do it. There are enough trails to to keep you busy for the rest of your life. There is a guy in town that builds trails, thats all he does, he is a legend here. Oh and sorry about the thread jack, i feel sorry for you and your rig, i would go insane, i crave 4x4ing, every day of the week, thats why i go out at night after work in the dark and bad things happen like when i crash and roll my truck.


Whatever you do, dont sell your truck man, i wanted to sell my runner a while back and i could have gotten more than i wanted for it but after all the work and time i have spent it was impossible. Keep it and just wait untill you move to another state

 

I know Jay..but what can I use it for? I cant camp in Nj,I cant go 4wheeling in NJ..and with college and work time is hard to find. meaning, its hard to drive 3 hours to go wheeling, and drive 3 hours home. I LOVE my truck...but Im at th epoint where im not seeing the point of owning it, if I cant wheel it and use it for what i built it for.

 

Yup - time to move, although we don't have any cushy NFL jobs though up here in BC. But you'll have thousands and thousands of miles of all sorts of trails - from class 1 easy logging roads to the extreme and nearly impossible.

Plus, you could get your dog sled license too if you move up here!

 

not really wanting to move guys..so dont suggest it anymore. Looking for real solutions, and real advice.

 

!!! dogsled licence


Well, I don't think we can really offer any more help, sad to say. Law's the law, I hope you keep the truck but I guess you have to do what you have to do.

Start a petiton, get TONS of signatures, try to get a 4x4 park or somthing. Its a start right? Or get all the 4x4 guys to pitch in, buy a plot of land, and make your own wheeling area.

 

^ yea honestly...like THATS going to make me want to move? This is the worst week ever.
