Welcome!

Well, there's a bunch of local clubs...and NJAX is certainly local to the city. (And you have company there)

Go to NJAX.net and sign up, say hi, etc.

For easy wheeling...the Nor' Easter is in May 19-21, and has plenty of stock freindly trails, the ECXC run is in July, same deal.

Check it out!

Sure - no problem!

Just take off the step rails and mud flaps because they get broken off...and that way you can e-bay them in pristine condition, instead of breaking them and throwing them in the garbage....and then remove the rear sway bar as well.

You can do stock trails with ease, and a set of Sliders would let you do some mild blues as well.

Add some skid plates and all the blues become open to you safety wise...throw on some more aggressive tires, and they become open to you mechanically as well.

There's goin to be a mod day on April 22 at Dano's place in clifton. I don't think that's too far from the city. It's good to meet up with some of the guys you'll be wheeling with beforehand so you trust them better when they're helpin you out on the trails. It's too far from me, but the guys who are goin can help you out and show you around your truck.
