After all the fun and excitment this weekend, we've decided that there's another trip to Paragon in order sometime in October.

I'll handle planning this one...

It will be another weekend affair of off-roading, beer drinking and BSing!

I've picked two weekends, and I'll run a poll here and at TS for the next week or so to gauge attendence and preference for weekend.

Is Paragon a town name? If not, I need a town name to know how far from Newport, Rhode Island this is.

I'll check my calander but I'm probably good for both those weekends, but I will check and make sure tomorrow!

Must have transfer case skid plate and BFG's by October! Hopefully I will be able to complete some other mods on my list by then too.....and no lifting isn't one of them.........that reminds me, got to check my Powerball tickets....

Yes, I'm planning that we'll camp again at the same campground. I'll be there Friday and Saturday night, hauling out Sunday morning with Kristin + dogs. There are hotels local, and within driving distance of both the campground and paragon however note the following rules that I expect to have in place this time, since there is NO CELL PHONE service from the campground.

1. We will meet at the campsite to head to Paragon at a pre-determined time.
2. Anyone who misses us at the campground will meet us at Paragon.
3. We will hit the *trails* at a predetermined time

More details to follow after we get a better idea of the head count.

I looked at Map Quest and this place is only 1 hour from my sister's house at Hillside, NJ. So I might consider going there if I can drop my daughter at my sister's. So it'll be me and my wife this time.

Alright ladies and gents, I'm officially going. But, yeah there's a but, I can only do one day, which would be Saturday. My sister is having her baby before then and I have to make a trip up there to Hillside, NJ to see him. Around that time frame, my mother will be there also from Arizona to help her on the first month of the babyhood. We can leave Friday from VA Beach, arrive there(NJ) that same day, and leave to Paragon Saturday morning (1 hour trip). We would have to leave either that same day at nigthtime, or Sunday early morning, because we have to come back to VA Beach on Sunday afternoon. I'm going to take the day off that Friday, so is my wife, who have agreed to go with me last night.
I can't wait. I tested my 4WD yesterday again and it worked fine, but will take it to the dealer just to make sure it is fine. I might slap my factory Off Road wheels and tires for the trip.

Oh, and I have this buddy of mine that is trying to get a Frontier. I will try to get him motivated after that Frontier beat us down at DE. He currently has an X-Terra.

I'm good for either date, but I'd "prefer" the 21st. It's just easier on my schedule at work for tthe entire month.

We might be camping this time around... we'll see.

Camping to me is when you go out in the woods with no bathrooms, cabins, ovens, nothing; just you, your tent, and all the "do it yourself gear" (water jug, cooking pan, sleeping bag, flashlight, etc...).

just ask the Army and Marine guys in here how it is to leave in the woods for 2 weeks(survival school). Indoor Plumbing? The closest you get to that is digging a hole and doing your business in there, lol.

The campground we'll be at has flushing toilets, hot showers, and hookups for those with campers!

Lol. Naah! Like LDO, I also don't do well on those kind of temperatures.


I'm thinking of making a bracket to attach a camera outside of my (or any other) truck to film and snap pictures when we hit the trails.
My last job we did that on a helicopter. My boss taped his camera on the tail of the helo while he was flying and approaching the ship I was on. Came out sweet! He had a remote control that controlled the snaps on the camera.
We can do this when we're doing the off roading.
We wrap the camera with a plastic back and leave just the lens showing to protect it.
Then we drop the movie to our new Frontier member and let him do his magic.

Hopefully we will get a bigger turnout this time! Everyone that is scared to take there TITAN should note, that a LIFT IS NOT REQUIRED! A leveler will get you around just fine.....just take off the bling step bars so you don't have any top-dead-center problems and your good to go! I was timid the first time, but my truck won't be so lucky in October!

LDO,
You likely won't have any problems with your step rails if you pay attention to what the others are doing.

Both times I've seen a step rail get messed up was when the trucks owner grew a set of nuts and did something a little extreme.
jhromy's bars got messed up at paragon running through the mud puddles. Rob's got messed up last week because of the decent angel on the hill.

Taking things on and off shouldn't discourage you from wanting to go. It will take like 20 minutes to remove the step rails and brackets, right?

Remember, at Paragon there is *always* a way around an obstacle.

Just spoke with Greg about getting my new lift and this is what he recommended for me.

6 inch Pro Comp lift
RADFLOW Coilovers with reservoirs for the front and RADFLO rear shocks with reservoirs for the back.

Ps: I think I’ll be able to do more crazy things in Paragon then in Symrna DE after I have this installed.

Actually......jhromy's bars got messed up in a top-dead-center situation on the 2wd access trails. He went a bit too fast over one of the "humps" and the weak brackets holding his Westin Ovals bent (I was behind him when he did it).

If you pay attention, the bars will be fine.....you just have to pay attention and take your time.

At DE my truck touched the bottom, but I had the skid plates from the Off Road, so no problem there. If I had the step bars it would have definitely damaged it. I also have the same lift you do.

I'm so surprised that after I told my wife about getting a lift, she just asked if she would have a problem getting inside the truck. I said not to worry cause eventually I'd get step bars. And that was it, I mean, that was it, a simple "ok" from her. Weeeew!

I'm considering the 4" Performance Lift with the front and rear DRs.....I was dumb and should've asked Chicks to take her truck for a spin around the block too......but I still had a boner from driving Jacked's truck.


Here's a thought that Woody brought to my attention......Is there going to be any mud there that time of the year? Would be worth looking into......since we were there in May when it rains.

Here's my take.

If we want to run through a mud puddle, we can find that ANYWHERE.

I enjoyed the crazy trails, inclines, rocks, weird paths, etc... just as much if not MORE than covering Steves truck in mud (errr, I mean MY truck, that is...)

Yeah, some jack a$$ went hauling through this mud puddle and got my truck all muddy. At least I had my windows shut!!

Anyway, we will stick to the trails that are rated for stock 4wd vehciles. Trust me, no one in this group feels like they have anything to prove to anyone. We're just out to have a good time, snap some photos, and really have an excuse to party afterwards!

To all those wanting to go to Paragon. I went with steve last time. And steve was fully aware of his stock titan. HE did'nt go thro any of the mud. And he still had great time. Nothing was Damaged on the titans. Also DRiveninthemedom was the lowest truck there for some reason and he had no promblem's and as the pic show he went threw almost everthing. Unless you want to count the fact that we did'nt let him jump his truck over some of the hills...lolol
All in all it was a great time. No one in the group would ever make you do something you not comfortable with. Because they know that you are drive a 25-36 thousand dollar truck. an add bonus is a lot of us have been there and know what to expect from the trails. And we have a lot of people that have been 4wheeling and know what they are doing and know what a titan can do!

Also Pargon is realy good about keeping up there trails they allways have two ways around any path they have. So that mean's if there is a mud puddle then there is a dry path right next to itso on and so on.

The real reason we go is for the after party anyways.LOLOLOLOLOL

Don't worry, I thought the "Bunny Trail" represented some pretty hard-core offroading action!!!

Heck, I thought some of the "2wd Access Roads" might give my 8" lifted 4X4 some problems!

You can't go on the property at Paragon without 4wd. Although it was rather comical to watch the group of Westfailia's running around...

We stopped for a quick bite to eat and to think our next move at that one section. We looked down that rocky path and thought, "Man, that looks pretty rough... maybe we should turn around."

No sooner than we doubted ourselves, this friggin group of VW bus-thingies plows past us at like 20mph down the path we were thinking about.

We were all like, "Oh, oh, oh... No way! We are SOOOO going down there now... We can't let some crappy VWs show us up!!! Uh-huh... I know that's right!"

They are going on tonight......

I think that the new ones are better suited for some off roading......the brackets seem stronger, uses twice the bolts, and I know that the rails are stronger. Most importantly, the middle support bracket isn't in the center of the rail. Important for those top-dead-center situations.

Okay, so the poll is just about closed out, but I think we'll be going with the weekend of the 21st. I will call the campground this week, and most the "official" announcement in the next few days.

I guess that depeneds on if Nick is allowed to come to the CG, and if his wifey decided to kill you or not after said evening of drinking.
