You're right. I'm behind the times. So this will be a group of LR3 owners standing around watching a sole D2 driving through deep water?

This time it was a group of disco owners standing around watching a sole D-90 in deep water.

Note: I did not get wet. The water was right at the door

hey didnt you have a different rig, or is that the same rig you had back when i was in nj?

 

[rmuller]

Gem -- I don't think you wheeled with Dan when you lived in NJ... he was in Moab though..

 

[Great Pumpkin]

Where exactly were you guys wheeling? I live in Barnegat and have never wheeled the Barrens. I had hoped to join you but was out of the area on Saturday. That said, how can I get to where you were? (if that makes any sense).

Yeah it is the same truck i had when we were at Paragon that one day. its lifted now with different tires, but yea its the same truck.

it looked like it was a blast.
i'm chomping at the bit waiting to get home to play on the 7th.
i can't wait to see every one there.




ps...chris,momma wants to know why she's never been to the hill climb?

 

[Roverrocks]

Great pictures! Looks like it was a blast. Being out in the 4 Corners area, I haven't done much water/mud slogging outside of crossing the Delores River near Moab occasionally which is tame compared to what you all did.

We hadn't gone that far in a while. Been too happy in the mud.

Okay, I stand corrected. Is it fresh water in the Pine Barrens? I'd hate to drive through brackish or salt water as prone as Rovers are to frame and underbody rust.

The last time I followed Mr. Canus through a mountain stream, I got water in my starter. It froze at night so that the bendix wouldn't engage in the morning.

 

[rmuller]

It's sandy silty water.... no salt in it, but it does destroy stuff if not properly cleaned..

 

[RovingClowns]

The NJ Pine Barrens has some of the cleanest water in the world. It is clean and clear, and many places we cross are creeks.

What destroys the vehicles is the sand that gets into all the gears and such...requires a lot of maintenance and gear oil...

The water can be dangerous when it's two inches of thick ice...that really broke parts on some vehicles this year...

 

[PMA1420]

i am partial to the cedar water in the creeks. the red hue is kinda nice

 

[kb3ejw]

yes,it does..i know first hand about the ice.
lost a foglight assembly,broke factory plastic bumper in 3 places and lost the d/s headlight as well.

such is life in the pinies........can't wait to do it again.

 

[PMA1420]

Are you folks still heading out this weekend?

 

[RovingClowns]

Saturday 10 am. WaWa at 539 and 70. Be there or be clean...

 

[chrisvonc]

ahhh memories... I've gotten quite a number of coffees from that Wawa.
