Where do you CT guys go off roading with the trucks?

I know of a few small trails, unfortunately they are all nature reserves and what not, and i think it'll be harder to run from the trucks in a truck than on a little dirtbike. Anyhow i was too young to get in any trouble on the dirtbikes a few years ago

So where do i go for some good light to mid grade F-150 offroading?

I would ask the the CT or New England chapter, but there is none.

 

I'm thinking of turning the Rhode Island Chapter in a New England Chapter.

We'll just wait on it though until FTE is back on track with all the new upgrades done.

 

I've been wondering myself where to go, i know a couple places, but again not sure you're supposed to be there, and the trails area little too small for my likeing (lined by trees, learned my lesson there)

 

hm... i guess its time to haul my dad's excavator and skidsteer to some woodland areas

That New England chapter is a great idea.

 

I used to go up to the end of Rt 11 in Salem, but that got old pretty quick. As far as I know, it is actually illegal to go on state property around here without permission, but if you have your own land, it's fine. Anybody in CT, RI, eastern NY, or lower Mass have some land?

 

Sorry fordsix, i think it was u that replied in a private message to me, I can't read it though

 

I agree, it would be nice to see some places where people in CT could go wheeling and not...

1) bang the trucks off of tree rocks or other underbrush.

2) not get fined or arrested !

As far as that goes, I can remember Johnny Law telling me it's illegal to offroad on state property, so I guess its up to private land owners

Some of us should pull together and buy some land, then open up an offroad park like they have in Lousianna and charge admission........

 

I was just talking with Jon about this today- If I hit the lottery, I would buy a ton of land, maybe in Mass or NH, to get away from the taxes here, and have an off road area. I think if anything, it would be you send me an e-mail, request an invite, get invited up. Maybe once or twice a year have a big bbq, mud bog, etc. Something like what you see in the magazines.

 

I live a bit north of ya up in maine, but i know that when we want some good off-road runs you can
find em' in peoples back fields or woods and we even got some great mud runs set up just for the
fun of it. And if worst comes to worst just get togeather a couple of friends and make your own trails!!

Whereabouts in ME? I used to live up there. From there originally, actually. I remember driving the power lines- that was cool.

 

Plenty of places in Florida where I'm from, especially power lines. But the dirty bikers there let us use their sugar sand pits. Works out good cus your truck don't get dirty and it's quite a challenge.

 

I know of some great places, but there private proporty. Lamotation Mountain is one. Man, I miss Carrabetta's

 

Try asking around at some of your local 4x4 shops and parts suppliers, they might be able to help you find somewere to have some fun

Good luck guy's

 

Man, I did'nt think there were this many people in CT. Well, this is how it is guys, down here in Waterbury, we used to turn down the old license plate on a Friday night, push down a 12 pack, and go bouncing the tires off lowriders in the bad side of town. THEN YOU'D GET all the 4 wheelin you'd want drivin' over lawns and back yards to get away from the hail of bullets.

OK, never really did this, but I did do some stupid **** when I was younger,(younger meaning like 5 or 6 years ago.) Used to have this ratbag 78 f-150 reg cab shortbox, typical setup, 351C/4speed 4.56's, 4in body, 3in suspen.Sat on 38's. We didn't even bother with a light bar, just drill some holes and stick the daylighters right on the roof. It was in primer, blacked out grill, tube bumpers, real menacing when I pulled up behind you in traffic and stopped 6 inches from your bumper. Got in all kinds of trouble cruisin on state property. Never pulled over or nuthin, good luck tryin to stop us on a trail, but sometimes you'd hit a back yard and they'd get your plate, then the 5-0's would show up at the house.

My favorite trail, (we rode this one like 10 times over the course of a year, then got caught.), It started just outside of my town, and went in deep for about 6 miles, nice stuff, mud, rocks, stolen imports, what more could you ask for. The first time we went on this one, we came to this little brook, the dude with me is like, 'Just hit it, we're huge, that's nuthin' Yeah right, started in, nice and slow, maybe 2 feet deep, could still see the rims, was feelin good about it, give it a shift(4L, second and third was all you needed in this truck) riding along, had to go upstream about 300 feet to the spot where we could get out, cruisin along, feelin for rocks, 4L, 2nd gear, all is good, and BANG, 8 feet of water!! Thought I was gonna die, we bailed thru the windows, got on the bank, and all you could see was the tailgate sticking out of the water, real nice. We're walking thru the woods, came up on a camp site, and it hit me, I new right where we were, a state park, great. But the people were cool, they had a cellphone, I called a friend, and he came down in his jeep, we pulled it out 3 feet at a time with a high lift and he pulled us out to the road with his truck. Got it towed home, drained the oil, blew the water out of the cylinders, and changed the ignition module, got oil in it, checked for smoke or burning with the key on, nothing, and it fired right up. I was amazed. Next few times we went a different way around the water.
