: Find the Jersey Devil Run
Xterra Mike 05-21-2009, 04:10 PM Ok, since the last Pine barren run was such a blast i've been requested to attend another one. Here it is. The next run will be Saturday June 13 at 9AM at the Atsion Ranger station. So who's in??? FYI. The trail Ryan and i scoped out is very nasty, muddy, sloppy, and stinky. MT's are a must. Snorkle optional. Most likely we will be runnin this trail again. Its fun.
1. Mike (Xterra Mike) Camping all weekend.
2. TJ (TJTJ) Saturday
3. Brian (baf6) Possible
4. (Jerseyx513)
5. Ryan (stickle)

Musclegeek just took his brand new 2009 X last time, and you can ask him how it did....he was very impressed IIRC.
:D
jusfloorit 05-23-2009, 10:57 PM Soooo, can I bring the Toy?
I love the pines and I love to wheel.
Also, I want to keep the brand new, new smelling, dirt free, mildew free carpet, scratchless paint, dent and rust free body, not even broken in, 625mi. old, Xterra exactly the way it is for now.
This is my FIRST new vehicle.
List of other vehicles I bought "new":
84 Camaro: 123,000 to 132,000 (wrecked)
87 Camaro: 113,000 to 134,000 (wrecked)
82 Ford LTD: 110,000 to 120,000 (junkyard)
86 Camaro: 72,000 (still have with 101,000)
88 s-10 Blazer: 132,000 to 175,000 (rusted apart, junkyard)
89 s-10 Blazer: 178,000 to 245,000 (SOLD)
89 Toy Pickup: 182,000 (still have with 224,000)
00 s-10 ZR2 Pickup: 53,000 (traded in for X with 152,000) Wife's truck

Looking for the Jersey Devil is non-denominational
:D
Xterra Mike 05-25-2009, 03:48 PM yea the Jersey pines don't care what you sink.
i might come down with a buddy in his wrangler...the pines is awesome, but for me its only a 1 or 2 time a year event....im gonna stick to the annual jersey devil run and maybe once more a year....but like i said i might run down in a friends truck or see if tim wants someone to ride shotgun
jusfloorit 05-25-2009, 08:25 PM yea the Jersey pines don't care what you sink.
LOL! Ain't that the truth.
This gives me some ambition to get some things done to the Toy. Diff. breather x-tensions, stealth snorkel (from airbox to upper right corner inner fender), and ECU relocation (to glovebox). I saw the vids so I think I know what i'm getting into. Ha!
I have 4.88's, a Detroit Locker, True trac, and setups in my garage but don't think i'll have time to break them in if I do get them installed but who knows.
Can't wait!!! Thanx for letting me tag along.

Good idea. At least take the damn carpet out.

As many time as you get stuck your gonna need a boat to keep you afloat.

Xterra Mike 05-26-2009, 03:08 PM Don't worry man the carpet is going, Brian said my car stinks on the last run

Stickle 05-26-2009, 03:13 PM yea i haven't had my carpet in since i sunk my X last year.
My buddy gave me a great price on raptor bed liner so that may be the way i go

Which truck are you talking about? Definately not bringing the X. The Toy is a 10ft looker. Get closer and you'll see the defects. Dents, rust, holes, tears, mildew, oh my! She's my purple trail monster.
By the way, my name's Brian. Everybody calls me Spikes.
OK, got confirmation from Keith (Stonecold), he's written in the 13th for the Pines...and I'll ride in with him this time.

Don't worry Brian you know were all just gealous about your X. Just stop makin rookie mistakes.
Just stop makin rookie mistakes.
whats more of a rookie move...forgetting to put your truck into 4wd and getting stuck in a mild mud hole, or not knowing your limits and coming awfully close to flipping your truck and then putting yourself in time out for it later?

Xterra Mike 05-29-2009, 08:33 PM So the stupid angle of my Snorkel really got to me today and i decided to fix it. Tell me what you think??? I realized i missed some spots with the rattle can. I'll go over it when its light out.

if you fill the pvc pipe with sand before you make the bend, it won't bunch up
i like this angle better though

its like a cheap Mandrel Bender. lol
good info Brian. Rep points for that.
Moes it matter the type of sand? like pool filter or mixing?

Moes it matter the type of sand? like pool filter or mixing?
any sand will work.
yup...aquarium sand, play sand, beach sand...just plug one end, fill and pack tight, plug the fill end, heat and bend.....i didn't do it when i had to straighten the lower 45* on my snork, only because it was inside the fender and i didn't care what it looked like....didn't bunch up though
oh and ian, thanks for the rep
Xterra Mike 05-30-2009, 04:17 AM if you fill the pvc pipe with sand before you make the bend, it won't bunch up
i like this angle better though
yea i knew about the sand but there was no way i was going to take the fender off and try to pull the PVC apart so i just heated it and bent it. If that bend gets to me i'll just take it apart and do it again. No big deal. I do like that angle better to.
Broden21 06-01-2009, 06:51 PM i think im in for this one guys.

The Piney's are free to drive in. Unless you count the gas it takes to get there, the tolls, the $200 GPS unit so that you know where the hell your going, the $20 for camping a night, getting stuck in knee deep muck and take a day off work to tare out the carpets, power wash the whole truck at the local car wash, buy a new alt, or u-joints, then its not so free. Other than that then yea its free.
Stickle 06-05-2009, 05:25 AM Well let me know. I might come down friday night with the wife and camp out anyway.
Yeah I’m the international man of bowls full of mysteries, anything could and will happen.
still on the fence about this....i can't really get both days off since we still have a lot to pack up at our house....dunno might just drive myself, might not go at all....probably the busiest weekend of the whole summer lol
timb. 06-05-2009, 08:59 AM when are you moving? are you and Caitlin moving in together? Can you PM me your parents asking price.....looking to sell and i got a job so hey f'it.

Hey Tim, i got a tent i can sell ya. Its nice. No down payment.
timb. 06-05-2009, 04:04 PM lol....i own a co-op in queens that i would sell. always wanted to move to back to jersey (lived in hoboken for 2 years). although ideally wanted to get land and build a house with my dad before he gets too old. but hey, for the right price i would move to clifton....have to keep jersey mod day alve lol.
jusfloorit 06-07-2009, 10:01 PM Just checking in. I'll only be joining you all for Saturday. I relocated my ECU to my glovebox, have all the parts I need to raise the diff breathers, and have half the parts I need to do the snorkel. The rest should come in early this week.
Unfortunately, I didn't have the ca$h laying around to get the lockers in so disregard the Detroit Locker sticker in the rear window. LOL. Guess I got a lil too excited when the parts came in. They'll be in for the next run I promise. It will be a great before and after experiment.
I'm assuming the ranger's station is still where we're meeting at?
Also is it at the end of Atsion Rd. on 206?

Awesome man. The ranger station is going to be the place to meet at 9AM. Its at the intersection of Atsion RD and RT 206. Go south on 206 and its on the left right before Atsion Rd. Hey do you have a "how to" on the relocation of the ECU. Very interested in this. See ya at the Pines
I'm looking forward to the day of bog sloggin.

MuscleGeek 06-08-2009, 11:42 AM Wish I was here to go along again.
Have a great time!
I hope something happens in July...someone was telling me about some trails around Manchester too...
Stickle 06-08-2009, 02:13 PM Mike when you heading down? I'm thinking friday after noon.... I'll be staying still sunday
jusfloorit 06-08-2009, 09:39 PM About the ECU relocation:
The factory location has it flush with the floor at the kickpanel. Bad spot if you go for a dip. All I had to do was trim a little of the dash away from behind the glovebox and mount it to the backside of the glovebox. The harness was long enough so no mods there. Now I have 44" to work with before the bottom of the glovebox. Hope I don't need it.LOL
Finished the "Stealth Snorkel". What do you think?

Just have to extend the diff breathers and gather up all my survival gear (tools, straps, WD-40, duct tape, wire hangers, etc.)
timb. 06-09-2009, 01:25 AM why don't you just drive down for the day Brian. Leave your truck at the ranger station, and ride with Stickle......
Xterra Mike 06-09-2009, 04:05 AM Mike when you heading down? I'm thinking friday after noon.... I'll be staying still sunday
yea i'll head down Friday night and stay till Sunday if weather permits. i hate campin in the rain. I figure Sunday we can do alittle more exploring and see if we can find some awesome new trails.

That Snorkel is awesome. i keep forgeting you got a Toyo. i'm not sure if my ECU can be relocated. Sounds like they put it pretty much in the same place. Mine is also on the floor behind the center console.
Wish I was here to go along again.

I'm sure we'll be doin something in July.

Great idea Tim.
It looks like it terminates inside the fender...?
Are you going to extend it upwards, or put an "S/Ball" in it to keep out more water? (Like the top of a skin diving snorkel, etc....)
jusfloorit 06-09-2009, 10:25 AM Not sure yet. Gonna try it out, as is, first. Later on, i'm either gonna homebrew an exterior snorkel or get the exterior parts for the Safari snorkel and connect. The Safari is so clean looking but pricy.
Xterra Mike 06-09-2009, 06:23 PM just be careful. Don't want to see ya suck up that muck. IMO the stealth snorkle is not real safe. Still has the possibility of getting water in the motor.
Stickle 06-09-2009, 07:01 PM yea i'll head down Friday night and stay till Sunday if weather permits. i hate campin in the rain. I figure Sunday we can do alittle more exploring and see if we can find some awesome new trails.
K sounds good I'll see you there friday night then.
Xterra Mike 06-10-2009, 02:40 AM Big Bowl of awesomeness.
Stickle 06-10-2009, 05:58 AM The biggest bowl MAN!
Anyone else Mt. Bike? I'm Going to bring my bike and hit some single track while I'm down there.
timb. 06-10-2009, 07:14 AM slight plan change. just started a new job, and they won't let me change my schedule. going to camp now friday night, wheel saturday and go home afterwards. you guys still going friday night? what time? thanks
tim
Stickle 06-10-2009, 08:45 AM O yeah we'll be there. I'm going to try getting down the friday afternoon to hit the trails on my bike, then to set up camp.
timb. 06-10-2009, 03:08 PM so what time is a safe bet to meet you guys at the campsite? ps-how do you guys fill your air matresses. bringing 3 along and assuming no electric outlets for the pump....
Xterra Mike 06-10-2009, 04:20 PM O yeah we'll be there. I'm going to try getting down the friday afternoon to hit the trails on my bike, then to set up camp.
Yea i bike but i'm not bringin it. i'll be takin all kinds of branches down with it up on top.
so what time is a safe bet to meet you guys at the campsite? ps-how do you guys fill your air matresses. bringing 3 along and assuming no electric outlets for the pump....
No problem Tim. I should be down there by 8 or 9 at the latest. I got an air pump for the mattress. Plugs into the 12v power outlet. Have you pumped up in 2 min. This aint my first rodeo.
Is there anyone coming from the North (Of Trenton area) who can grab me on the way down?
Brian's bailing on this run, so, I'm stranded (help?!)
:D
I can ride with Keith once down there, but he lives down there already.
Xterra Mike 06-10-2009, 08:40 PM looks like my doggie sitter bailed on me for the weekend. i'm gonna try to find someone else but if i cant i'll be headin down on Saturday morning and returning home after the run. Sorry Guys, can't tell you how pissed i am right now. Tim i'll have to meet up with you so that i can give you the tent for Friday night. PM me and let me know what your plans are for Friday.

Where are you in Lawrenceville. Its in the opposite direction from the piney's and would add about an hour to my trip down there but maybe we can work something out.

You are the MAN.
:D
I'm right off Rt 1 and Rt 295/95....Rt 206 and Rt 583 also cross here.
Would you be coming in on Rt 1, or 95/295, etc?
Xterra Mike 06-12-2009, 10:41 AM 95 to rt 1. i know the area. How long does it take you to get the the meeting area? Will Keith be able to take you home???
95 to rt 1. i know the area. How long does it take you to get the the meeting area? Will Keith be able to take you home???
From my house to the Atsion Ranger Station is typically ~ 45 - 60 minutes depending upon how you drive.
Keith said he can take me home, so you're off the hook after I get to the ranger station.
:D
Xterra Mike 06-12-2009, 11:15 AM well i'm a truck driver so i try to stay inside the box but i don't mind pushin it 5mph over the speed limit. Ok so then i'll get you about 7:45ish. I'll give you a call when i get close. I'm guessing the best way down there is 206? or just hop on 295 to 73?
I'll punch it in and see what comes up.
I typically just go down 206 S, as its simple.
295 to 206 to skip past some Trenton 206 sections is typical...then 206 the rest of the way.
I've gone other ways, but I'm not a morning person....so, I just go the way with the fewest turns, etc....but other ways might be faster, etc.
After googling, etc...I'll have some routes for you to choose from.
:D
