first off roading experience

[Jhawk]

So after having my raptor for about a month I finally gave in to the urge to let my truck stretch its legs. I messed around for a little while in a grass field (not too many ideal off roading locations in NJ) experimenting with various configuration of the off road mode and traction control settings. While i didn't notice a difference in my limited testing between having off road mode on or off, i had a blast once i turned traction control off. the raptor power slided and did doughnuts as easily as my old 78 Ford did on ice. Due to the short length of the field I wasn't able to get over 30 or 40 mph so that might be why offroad mode didn't seem to matter. I was impressed with the suspension; once i got over 10 mph it felt like i was driving on pavement. I still am looking forward to finding a place to test out hill descent and manual shift mode. And i can't wait for the first time i can get airborne

Oh dame now the 5 month wait is even gonna seem longer. I will be down for the pines when I get my truck. Plenty of space out there to get over 40 Jhawk!

either of u guys know of any good places to go to in the pine barrens specifically? I've heard of wharton state park but was wondering if there were any other spots to go to

I have taken my rap to the pine barrens a couple of times. It is a very very tight fit.
