I live in south eastern PA near Philly. My 150 is almost stock with a few up grades to make it a little better while not on the pavement. (31in tires, manual hubs, thicker trans and oil pans. 3.55 gears.) Please don't get me wrong I don't think that I can hang with most of the rigs I see on this page but I'm a new owner with 2 kids.

I'm looking for some trails within a 1 hour drive that isn't too extreme. Maybe something that can be tackled alone or with one other truck (Cherokee). Nothing too deep. The place that I used to go to was behind the Philly airport but over the summer that has turned in to a construction dump, nails and tires don't mix.

Any one local that might no of such a place. I have been to the pine barons a few times but that's a hike and with a 351 and blocky tread I can watch my gas gauge move.

Thanks and for fun post any pictures of muddy trucks. It's the only thing that keeps me from falling asleep here at work. LOL

 

Paul, I think this newb is asking for you.

 

you know what, i thought the same thing at first


you might wanna post something similar to this in that state's chapter forum. i don't think we have any guys from there in the offroad forum, but either way, welcome to thunderdome!!!!! togtfo!!!!! : )

 

I was figuring Illegals when i read the title....

 

I don't need to look hard for those.

 

i don't think anyone has to anywhere, anymore. i bet i couldn't throw a taco down the street without hitting one and i live in illinois, nowhere near a border.

 

I bet you get the best results from this advice. Have fun!

 

Somehow I knew there would be a joke hurled in my direction when I saw the title of this thread

I think there's something called mud in the pines or wheeling in the pines or something like that a little north of you in NJ that's supposed to be a pretty good event. Other than that, looking for the local mud bogs is your best bet. The Buck, if not too far for you, is a pretty cool place. They have different kinds of events every weekend, including mud bogs. The tech inspection is VERY stringent from what I've been told though, so if you decide to go read the rule book and follow it to a T. I think they're done for this season though, as far as events. Even if you aren't running, it's a great place to spectate. Demolition derbies, mud bogs, monster trucks sometimes, tractor pulls, diesel truck pulls, all kinds of stuff!

Actually read your post and saw you were looking for trails. Try Rausch Creek, it shouldn't be TOO far of a hike for you and it's a hell of a lot of fun there! Ask alpha/omega about the jeep and a tree.

 

Brakes are overrated.

 

said Dan.............

 

Quick thinking stopped us without the use of brakes. The way I see it Paul still owes me for saving his life.

 

truffaroni with a side of bacon
brakes are for female fun holes

 

i head out to the pines. email me when you want to go. there were mudbogs at neweygpt raceway for the last few years but there trying to get a new track to have the events at. watch mudinthepines.com for info in the spring.

 

i havent posted in a while but im from the same area. havent been here, but theres an entrance into the woods right behind carlson's alignment shop on business route 1 in penndel.

Carlson's Alignment & Repair, langhorne, PA - Google Maps

theres also a place in feasterville, but its patrolled pretty hard by cops. would have loved to gotten back there cause it looks sick, but oh well:

YouTube - Wheeling in Feasterville, PA

im pretty much selling my truck because i built it for mud, and theres no where to take it locally, unless i get trailered. driving 2 hours on 42's and 5.13 gears effing sucks.
