Finally got my Raptor off pavement

Did a Tri-State Broncos Christmas Gift run to the local Children's hospital then hit some gnarly (for me as a first timer) trails in Mahwah, NJ. Definitely felt the pucker well after I was out of the woods. Almost 3 hours of tight, rocky - can't even call it a road. Exhilarating, nerve wracking and exhausting - but fun, if that makes sense.

And so it begins. When you start to discover what a vehicle can do you get hooked.
As we've said more than once out on the trail
Ain't no turning back now...

You guys got a good mix of terrain with the rock and mud and water; I'm glad you got a taste of it a lot the first time out! That pic in the hospital circle drive –– I hope some there got to see the Bronco lineup out the windows and made them smile. Thanks for demonstrating great community with the club and for sharing the adventure here. Love it

Yeah the hospital thing was cool, some of the nurses and families brought some kids out (it was cold) to see all the Broncos. Hard to see kids with the types of ailments they treat there, but glad we made them smile.

That's tough but special for sure.

How was the cleanup? Lot of mud on the undercarriage or not too bad?

Unfortunately it's s bit too cold to clean up in my driveway entirely so I only did a quick rinse - it wasn't too bad, but definitely needs a good scrubbing in the wheel wheels and underneath. Spring time the skid plates are gonna come off and cleaned as well.
