Rolled out to Stokes today with a couple toyota friends. Got to give the truck it's first solid testrun (had bad ujoints and was being lazy about replacing them so I kept it on-road only for a while, finally got around to replacing them).
The guy who led us through sets up rides through there with some toyota guys somwhat frequently, in case anyone's interested. Think he's trying to go again in 2-3 weeks.
99 XJ, 4.5" Rough Country Long Arm (measures out to 5.5" on my truck) w/ 32x11.5x16, along with some stuff. It was a good shakedown run for me, threw my flares off quick like I figured would happen, found some knocks in the suspension to address, had my oil pressure sender break, and found my trackbar is limiting my flex (bar is hitting bracket). I'll address all that, throw on a header/cat/catback, some JCR stage 3 sliders, IRO Solid Tie-Rod with new ends, and some other random goodies.

Nice looking rig. I've been to Stokes a few times with my club, its a nice place to just get off the pavement for a bit. We meet at the Rockaway Mall outside the food courts on Wed nights every other week. I need to test out my new bumper and armor and stokes doesnt really have much for that, though I'm willing to hit it up any time being I'm only 15-20min away.
There's a couple decent trails, definitely not much for armor testing but i've got a strong bumper we can test it with that lol j/k. But we've come across some fun stuff up there.
We're trying to get a trip to Stag Hill in Mahwah together, supposively its the best place to ride in north nj and is pretty rough in sections to the point that we're pretty sure his tacoma wont make it
my trucks been under the knife recently still havent got my sliders on tho, havent had time to monstaliner them.
