Yea. Unfortunately the north east is not like other places. There is no orv sticker or anything like that which kinda sucks. But it doesn’t make it that much more rewarding when you find a nice little spot that no one knows about.
In rockland? There’s absolutely nothing that’s legal. There quiet a few dirt roads in port jervis area which is about an hour west from us. Two hours south is the pine barrens which is in Wharton state forest. There’s lots of double track through mostly pine trees. There some sand, some...

Thanks everyone. I certainly see how I’m expecting my Jeep to do things it’s not supposed to. For overland purposes. It’s great. For off-roading and rock crawling not so much.
Ya know. I think that quite often. Most of my trips are on fire roads and dirt roads but like you said, when I get mad at my Jeep, I’m usually asking too much of it. Really, when it comes down to it, there hasn’t been an obstacle that I wasn’t able to do. Every situation Iv put my Jeep in...
Hey overlanders. I’m posting this question for myself and others. My question is, when to call it quits? At what point in the build process do you decide that your rig is no longer going to cut it?
I’m at a cross roads here. I drive a 2014 Jeep cherokee trailhawk. 3 inches of...
On my cherokee kl I chose the duratracs but I have a different experience than everyone else it seems. I originally chose the tire because it was a hybrid style. Halfway between a mud terrain and an all terrain. But I have had no luck with the sidewalls. Very weak sidewalls . I believe the...
Wharton state forest in New Jersey. It is a great place. Iv been there maybe 4 weekends on solo trips It’s just a lot of dirt roads between pine trees. It’s all the same. Great for a day trip especially if you haven’t ever been there. But I can’t say I would enjoy going back on a solo...
Iv ran Goodyear duratracs for about a year now. I chose them because of the sidewall lugs. I wanted a tire that was halfway between a mud terrain and an all terrain. The tire performs well on road and Offroad. They self clean mud very nicely. They are noisy and they hold pebbles until...
what really helped me was to just get out and go. Just think about what you might need. Food, water, a place to sleep, a first aid kit, some way to navigate so you don’t get lost. Some way to call for help.(you may not have cell service) My first real trip was just to a campground with...
1) a sleeping bag!
I was too busy getting everything together that I forgot it. A quick stop at Walmart solved the issue.
2) recovery boards (not too much sand in my neck of the woods but they may be helpful some day. Will still carry them)
3) first aid kit. A hiker had a large gash on...
That would certainly be prefered. This was a year ago but I think they have a weight cap on the vehicles that can travel those roads. For some reason I remember 1000 pounds or something. But if you find out something different. That would be awesome news. Iv been wanting to do that for...
I looked into this last year. From my research I found that only motorcycles were allowed on those trails. I think full sized vehicles were too big for their laws
