New, From Jersey hopefully moving to Delaware

[Dugan]

Currently living in NJ, moving to Delaware because its close to work. I build hotrods/ratrods, as well as lifted trucks, mud racers, and 1/4mi cars.

Going from one house with roughly 20x35 garage low ceiling with lift to a 30x40 with 20ft ceilings.

Anyone local? Looking to find some new people in the area.

Not local, but welcome.

Hey Dugan
I'm from NJ and now live in DE. My son and I are in super into Hot Rods and cars. I'm not familiar with Ratrods, but I'm definitely going to check it out. I'm also a realtor so I know a lot of people in the area. When and where in DE are you moving? I can help you find a place and show you around the area. I'm in to craft brews and good food. Email me if you want to know more. [email protected]

Moving to New Castle city area. Little too urban for me but the garage will help haha.

If you know of any car shows in the area let me know!

Welcome to the GJ, enjoy.

Don't feel bad, more and more people from NJ are moving this way.
I live about 45 mins south of you but I work 5 mins away.
Good luck finding any mud holes in the upper part of the state, you have to head south ( Or back across the bridge ) for that.

Anything down there worth bringing a truck down for? We have a 78 bronco on 44s and my ranger locked front and rear on 35 boggers. Im going to be building a rock buggy soon.

 

[FORMUD]

Not much really, some farm fields and power line running is about it. I think they still race down in Dagsboro and there's always The Buck in PA. Been awhile since I've been muddin, been into rocks for the most part for the last five years.

 

[Dugan]

The bronco is the mud truck, the ranger is build for rocks. Im one of the few that is still pushing the TTB to its limits. In need of some new coils now, but itll be together again once i move in. Gonna be 4 linking something soon got a set of tons i need to use.

Any crawling in DE? or just rausch creek in PA..?

 

[FORMUD]

The only crawling your going to find in Del is I-95 at rush hour Rausch is the closest but their starting a new park up a little ways from there and there's some talk about Paragon starting back up. If you don't mind traveling, there's all kind of places with in ten hours or less of here.
I have to get my shop done before I can even think about links on my rig. I think I've pushed the leaf springs about as far as I can go.
If you need a hand with anything ( Like killing a few beers ) shoot me a PM.

Yea my beer drinking arm is lacking.. needs some exercise haha.

Ive been to rausch, was a great place but a friend broke quick and we didnt get to see more then like 3 hours of the place.

We just went to Wolf Springs Offroad Park in Knoxville PA. That place was awesome. Didnt do any crawling.. yet but the mud holes were nice.

 

[FORMUD]

Well it sounds like we need to get our asses in gear and get our shops and rigs together and hit some rocks or mud.
I'll be starting on drywall tomorrow.....50 sheets of 5/8" on 14' high ceiling, I can't wait.
You get your lift picked out yet?

I might go with the cv10 or cl10 what ever the challenger is for 4k free shipping its the most versatile and i work on a ton of different **** so its prob my best option i have to measure our trailer n trucks to make sure they fit tho
