Have you PM'd one of the guys from that thread you linked with the TNJT? I thought one dude had gpx files available.
I'm not a member on there, I think I have other ways of getting ahold of them though.
Ahh, gotcha. :like:

Buddy and I took our trucks to a local (1.5 hours away :| ) offroad park yesterday...

https://www.bundyhilloffroad.com/

We didn't take many photos, but what we did take were all of the lame parts for some reason. There's actually quite a bit of challenge to be had here.

Buddy's rig is pretty sick. Midwest Overland winch mount behind stock front bumper, LED lights everywhere, topper with battery, fridge, power distribution inside, all powered by a solar panel on the roof mounted to a rhino rack. Fancy new :ramz: that he picked up last week.

They are sweet indeed, and would look great on Kinetic Blue.

I think I prefer the AEV wheels, :doe: and being able to use real beadlock rings would be 5/7 if I wanted.

They're on the way. They announced the wheels at the same time as the snorkel. Wheels are a neat design that can convert to a real beadlock just by changing the ring, which is pretty cool when airing down big time.

He said the tires were only like $120 per, and they're quieter on the street than the Duratracs and worked just as well offroad yesterday. He loves them.

That's a great idea for the beadlock ring. AEV's pricing on wheels wasn't terrible the last time I looked, hopefully these are in line with the other offerings.

They'll be pricey, but shouldn't be insane. We'll see...

I like the stock ZR2 wheels, I doubt I'll ever change them.

Though mine are 18's and I'd just keep the stock size for now.

Kinda want to head out and check out the PA bit of the MABDR.
I rode my gravel bike on some of that stuff in Bald Eagle and Poe Paddy area. Was good. A Forester with a ballsy driver would be fine. Your truck shouldn't have a problem traversing it.

Nah, not expecting problems (though with all the rain, who knows). I just wanna get out and explore.
That area was really nice. Some really good scenic overlooks in Poe Paddy. Lots of opportunities for mudding. Saw a bunch of brahs on enduro dirt bikes and Jeeps.

Yep. I went to school in State College - I know the area pretty well. Lots of riding/exploring to be had.
You are a Penn State grad?

Despite my :derp: tendencies, yes, I did graduate from an accredited (or discredited, thanks Jerry Sandusky) university.
That never happened doe. Was created solely by sports haters to discredit oblong leather sportsball.

So you went to PSU, Chris went to MSU, and you guys both spend your Saturdays cleaning mud out of tailights, laying triggerrock and :pinshit: LOL.

Impossibru.

The scale of a football weekend at Penn State is hard to describe and must be experienced in person. To effectively streak the game, you’d need to first ride through 2-5 miles (depending on which direction you start from) of crowds dressed in blue and white before even reaching the stadium.
It’s only the third largest city in PA on game day.
