    Suzuki Samurai = ultimate pines vehicle?

    Oh, for sure there was stuff I could do to make it not rub. It didn't happen often - just in whatever special circumstances. Full lock and not level I think. It wasn't really a big deal.

    Suzuki Samurai = ultimate pines vehicle?

    True. Although shoving bigger tires in your wheel well increases the risk that you'll rub them on your suspension at full lock. I had a Grand Cherokee with a 3" lift and even with that in certain circumstances the 30 or 31" tires I had on it (I forget - it's been so long ago) rubbed.

    Suzuki Samurai = ultimate pines vehicle?

    Sure, but the more distance you put between your tires and the ground, the less clearance between your truck and the trees going over the road. I'm mostly talking about really disused, narrow roads.

    The Road to Howardsville

    I had a JK Unlimited for a little while. I still found that too big (mostly in width.) The perfect one for me was my TJ Wrangler.

    Suzuki Samurai = ultimate pines vehicle?

    Honestly, a stock Samurai with a good set of AT's would be perfect for the kind of driving I do in the pines. I could go down pretty much any narrow trail and fit. No need for a lift or giant tires - I'm not going muddin'.

    The Road to Howardsville

    I miss my old Wrangler. It was much narrower than the Ridgeline. I am generally really cautious about where I go, and am apprehensive going into ANY puddle. But with a truck this wide it's pretty much impossible to go anywhere without brushing up on the foliage. I'll have to use a good...

    The Road to Howardsville

    The other day I decided to travel out to Howardsville to take some pictures of the area as the sun set. I hadn't been there in 10 years, and I remembered that the road that takes you in from Bryant Rd. was in bad, but passable shape. That's not so true anymore. Right off the bat there's a...

    Server Issues

    Yeah, one of the tables of the forum database got corrupted due to the site being up and down so often.

    There's nothing on the Rutgers map site. You might have more luck at the Wheeler Room in the Toms River Branch of the Ocean County library. Even if they do not have the kind of map you're looking for you might be able to find what you're looking for in an old copy of the Yellow Pages that they...

    Server Issues

    It turns out that the hosting company had some problems with one of their upstream ISPs. I haven't had any alerts recently so I think it's been resolved.

    Server Issues

    Hey there - It seems like my hosting provider might be having issues. The site seems to have been going up and down a lot over the last few days. I've opened up a support ticket to try to see what is going on. So if the site doesn't load for you try again in a few minutes. It will probably...

    Plan to put gas pipeline in Pinelands spurs ire

    I'm all for less coal fired power plants, and generally would be okay with the idea of a pipeline being built, but I feel that we're at a critical time for preserving the Pinelands. The CMP seems to be constantly under fire. The Pinelands Commission seems to be more about politics than actual...

    Announcing the new NJPB Maps

    I just checked and they are working for me. Their server might have been having issues. One thing that I have found handy is one of those web developer toolbars that they have for Safari or Firefox. With them you can see the URL of the images the browser is trying to fetch and see if there's...

    Rusted War Veteran?

    I'm surprised nobody has smashed the thing up yet. It looks like they've replaced the glass with plexiglass though.

    Rusted War Veteran?

    I don't think that's the same truck. The windshield is different, as is the area over the front doors.

    S-M, You might want to move that data into it's own thread. Having it be buried in this thread will make it harder for others to find that good information in the future.
