If it's bone stock that's OK, I wheeled the hell out of my stock 88 in Wharton, near Atsion Lake, Hawkins Bridge, etc... with no damage. Just get a good set of tires. MT's or AT's. The biggest thing is the custom pinstriping from the branches.

And then there is Paragon, more rocks than mud, if you're unsure about taking your truck, you should try to ride with one of us first.

I took my wife'e Expedition out a few times, I had to buff the hell out of it afterwards, got almost all of it out. Doesn't matter anyway it rarely clean, she likes to kick mud up on it in the front yard.

If I can get out without the tribe you're welcome to ride w/me.

Even if bknrtstk has to bring the troops along, there's always one of us in the group who has an open seat. Check out the Winter Paragon Run thread in this forum - that's our attempt to plan the next ride out to Paragon.

We always meet some place and drive up together and you can leave the truck in the lot of wherever we stay to keep it all nice and pretty and let one of the other guys who like dents take the brunt of it all!

Go to Paragon (www.paragonap.com) and click the directions box.

Kristy, I think Steve is the only one that likes dents , the rest of us just accept them as part of the experience. :thumbup

It's an easy drive, don't forget internect directions figure estimated time by using the speed limit, when was the last time anyone drove the speed limit on the NE extension or 81?

Dents give it character! As long as nothing breaks, you're cool!

And it's really not that long of a trip up there - our mapquest directions say 2 hours 31 minutes and rarely does it take us that long doing the speed limit. We're south of Philly so you're a little further north of us, albeit more east. Normally it's about an hour and 45 mins to two hours - but it never feels that way and once you get up and spend all weekend on the trails, the trip seems worth it.

If you go, you could hook up with me on the way. I live right next to the turnpike entrance, about 10 min fro the Burlington/Bristol Bridge and about 20min from the Tacony/Palmyra Bridge.
