View Full Version : Rausch Creek Weekend of July 21st...

Rausch Creek - Weekend of July 21st! I plan on driving up Thursday 19th in the afternoon, Wheeling Friday and Sat, and driving home Sunday 22nd mid day. I will be camping at a local camp site about 6 miles from Rausch. There are already 5 trucks going. We will be running hard blues and blacks. If people would like to come and run greens they are more than welcome to come along, meet up, camp and hang out, but be prepared and have other trucks ready and looking to do the same level of trail... This will personally be my longest stay out there. Reason being driving one way and wheeling the same day is rough and Im looking for more time to relax and party in a camp site. Will be staying at Echo vally camp ground. But rausch still has free sites and hotels are available for those not into camping.

Brother i may try to get my junk together for this..I cant start working on it for another two weeks..Still gotta finish the skidplate frame and air intake ducting..then get cash to make it out there..Its like a 300-400 dollar trip for me.

Serious concern: i'm about to crawl through RC Blue and Blacks (cause Dom said he would disown me if i stuck to greens) with nothing but diff covers and rock rails as armor...do i need a skid by then?

ure so nervous...... hahahaahahaha Of course the more high speed low drag armor you have the better you will be, but with rockers and diffs you will be fine. You will be getting high centered on ure belly, I promise you that, but you will make it out alive...

I mean, there is no way to get threw Rausch without a full TT. IF you do not have it ure Jeep will explode!
For real a TT involves a lot of work, I wouldnt rush it and try to get it done before the trip. Wheel Rausch as you are and you will have a solid idea of what needs upgrading and what does not

Im so excited to find out what on MY jeep needs to be upgraded haha I really want to get a rear locker and solid rear cover before the trip but I don't think its in the cards yet. Word on the street is that Stan is gonna make his own roof top tent out of cardboard and fishing poles.

ahahahahaahh I bet he's cutting off plates on the ship to fab some more armor as we speak....
You ll be just fine with the set up ure running now for what we will do. Thats the great part about Rausch. Theres so many off shoots on the trails you can run as hard or as easy as you want.

I may be cutting off the framework for my skid and just installing the intake ductwork..More than likely i will be at the hotel friday night and come to the park in the am..

Everybody should be able to make it through jotters..IIRC it isnt all that bad as long as you have 33s and a skill full spotter.
Ive never hit the bottom of the comp course but the area towards the shack is pretty easy for my rig..There is one spot on it that i want video of me making..Last time i didnt have my bumpstops on the rear and the u bolt popped a hole in my fuel tank..

James and I have decided we will not pack tents to the trip. Rather, we will be building a tree house and sleeping in it. All are welcome (except girls, no girls allowed unless they have cootie shots) to join us in our awesome Pirate Tree House.

And theres not enough cash ( i actually dont have any for either, im gonna have to move some items and scrap some stuff) for both things rite now. We will see. Ya never know.

You guys should have a great trip. We went last weekend with my LJ, a JKU Rubi on 35's, and of all things a stock Chevy Avalanche! The park was in great shape and it was the first time out for both of the other drivers, we stuck to greens all morning with the Chevy (I named it the white whale and took to calling its driver Captain Ahab...) but in the afternoon we parked the Chevy and my budy Vin started getting a little more confidence with some blues and an easy black, not too shabby! We had no stucks and the only damage was some foam out of the Chevy's rear bumper, his front plastic popped off the clip, pushed his tailpipe up a bit, and I added some scars to my fuel tank skid when I tried some creative lines. Amanda really rocked all day, I gave her the maps and she picked some great runs and hopped out to spot for us all whenever needed, Berms lessons were put to good use! She picked lines that kept the trucks pretty all day long, the bumps all happened when we weren't following her lead. Just be careful if you take J2, its a little more worn than I remember and someone just rolled a YJ down it.http://www.rc4x4.org/rcforum/index.php?PHPSESSID=b5d5b95b29ef115424293b103cc7e0 1f&topic=17339.0 We did it with my LJ and the JKU with no issues but it definitely felt tippy at the very top and the shorter wheelbase rigs may get the poop scared out of them.

thanks Sean, much appreciated!
All my prep work is done, I installed a new battery, hood louvers and the "ultimate budget lift". I used Hulud's old TJ 3" springs with my spacers up front and an add-a-leaf out back. I netted close to 3" of lift and I am now standing very tall. Ride quality is far better then I thought it would be. Can't wait to get in the rock gardens! I didnt take any install pics but I will be updating my build thread after the trip.

Yeah i heard..At least you got it fixed and you are ok.. I found out the hard way that my distributor touched my firewall..During my denial of the rock face next to stair step i had to do a reverse recover to save the truck and i think the front frame section flexed enough to make the contact..It started running rough after that..Then when i tried to hit the easy peasy hill on jotters way she got air a few times and stalled out for good there.. I needed plug wires since a few were rotted and i still have to do some clearancing to the firewall..that will have to do until i get my tow pig done and my van..At that time i will build some sorta cage for the truck.
Ive gotta squeeze some cash outta my arse to make one last trip to test the truck before aetna mountain thanksgiving weekend..Man that woulda been utmost embarrassing to drive to tenn and that happen.

From what i heard there was a great amount of carnage. people trying to kill each other by tossing boulders at guys heads LOL. Looks like it was a kick ass weekend. Start a pic and video thread where all these great pics are in 1 place.
