There isn't enough talk in here. Here's my random and pointless contribution. Hahaha How many do we have in the New England area so far? Anyone want to meet up and hit Rausch Creek in the next month or so?

Hey! North Jersey here. Iā€™m holding off on Rausch until I have a lift and tires. Itā€™s looking more like January at this point given the news from SEMA.

Iā€™m in PA. Wouldnā€™t mind at all meeting up with some experienced lads. Let me know when you have a plan. My only obstacle time wise would be if Iā€™m away getting the kids back from college for the winter breaks.
But count me in if thatā€™s cool.
Cheers

I found a few local groups on FB, I'll post up there to see if there's any experienced people willing to guide a stock friendly run.

Bacon, I'd recommend bringing it stock so you can see what it can and can't do as-is. I always had more fun seeing the huge differences during my builds by doing it that way. I'm not looking to destroy my brand new JT anyways so I'll be searching for a run through greens and MAYBE some blue. Have to educate myself on the trails a little more before picking them out.

From NJ here. Iā€™m in! Iā€™m bringing a stocker rubicon. Havenā€™t wheeled in years because I was still building my scrambler and I canā€™t wait to get back in the woods.

from southern New Hampshire here
I'm hoping to end up meeting some people that wheel in Mass, and NH areas so I can double my trips, some weekends to Rausch Creek, other weekends true north. haha. I'll keep updating, and if any of you get in touch with anyone else with a bit more trail experience, post up too.

Anyone in here yet familiar with navigating any off road parks around the area?

Looks like we are getting a bit more populated in here! I was invited to Rausch last week last minute by another group, so it was my JT's first time there. Did greens and a few blue's....I was highly impressed considering it's a bone stock sport S on 35's, with nothing but a simple 1.5" puck up front and .75" in the back. It did great on the smaller stuff.

Anyone interested in going back to do green and blue trails, or if there are go-arounds for the harder stuff, i'm in. What about a meet and greet somewhere centralized to the majority of us someday? Possibly in the spring?

We have recovery points if anything happens prior to your bumper and winch arrival. Haha. It's well worth the 4 hour ride. Tons of fun.
