Unless you stick to the fire/park ranger trails, you're going to need a G Wagon or live axle conversions on your M to ride around here. (Seems like most M owners are more content picking up groceries then off-roading)

Where in Jersey are you thinking? I'll join you in my Jeep if you'll let me.

Where in NJ are you located? I am in bergen.

This is not the greatest state to off-road in but there are some good spots with varying levels of difficulty.

Let me know where you are at and I'll look around the net to see if there are any events coming up that aren't brand specific.

You don't mind pinstriping your ML?

this is a trail run in martinsburg, ny

http://www.ec4wda.org/events.asp?ID=252

I am still looking for more, but this shouldn't be too rough on our trucks, and there'd be experienced people with winches if we get in trouble.

My truck is stock too so I can't get to nuts either. The trail run shouldn't be too extreme.

Okay i just checked on mapquest and its quoting a 5.5 hour drive to martinsburg.. there has to be closer places if we were going to travel that far we should just go to the pine barrens in jersey theres supposed to be some good off roading down there.. but that weekend is a good weekend as ill have my boss's f150 quad cab so i dont have to worry about ****in the ML up.. thats hes beater mobile so he wont worry about me scratching it a little bit or not..

NY State is so damn big I can never remember where what is. Sorry about that.

There will be something closer. I will keep looking when I can for events. trail runs for that weekend as it is a good one for me too.

It is good you have the f150. Last ML we took out didn't fare well at all.
