Order those 37s already!!

 

looks like a blast i gotta get my self to go wheeling one day

 

i love the rocks,and off camber stuff, makes my blood pressure spike :bounce:

 

What would you say round trip, all included would it be? 2 days i guess.

 

its much more enjoyable to make 2 days out of it.

The hotel is like 60 bucks for the one night

rausch the first time is 10 for registration and then 35 for the driver

dinner one night, breakfast-free at hotel,bring lunch (on trail), dinner on the way home (possibly cracker barrel ) food for drive home, all total-$40

Gas: full tank there, full tank back. : $90
tolls: 25

estimated high to be safe but looks like :$260

i dont think i usually spend that much

 

RK tie rod arrived today, HOLY cow, this thing is HEAVYYY!! Installing tomorrow, finally, getting my truck back on the road after 3 weeks.

 

Me too. Mine weighs 28# without the ends!

 

The couple times I've gone to Rausch, I've done it in one day. I have heard it is a bit more enjoyable to stay over.

 

The drive home after wheeling all day sucks ass! I was drinking red bull and coffee and still almost fell asleep.

 

plus you lack patience with other drivers from being tires from driving all day and having gotting up so early! thats was what got to me the most, wanting to throw my maglight out the window at assholes who obvioulsy dont no how to drive

 

Indeed, I've had my share of 3-4 hours of one way driving, wheeling, then driving 3-4 hours back home. It's NOT enjoyable. Wheelin' drains the SHIT out of you. I've gotten into the habit of staying overnight the night before. So, you get to hang out and have dinner and drinks, sleep, get up at 8AM instead of 5AM, wheel, then drive home. An extra $60-$80 is worth it rather than speeding so you won't fall asleep on the drive home. I've camped as well, just in case the extra $$ is tight.

 

^this

its definitely worth it to stay i cant say it enough.


....im trying to write a 10 page paper :bawling:

 

I remember those days...thank god it's over.

 

I think I would camp, just for the hell of it. I concur, I am happy I dont have to do that anymore....although, i enjoyed the social life. If I bring a partner, that would cut the bill almost in half....think I may bring a friend.

 

good luck with writing the paper BB:bawling:... as for rausch creek i always try to do a night there on one end or the other , its tough otherwise...

 

All this Rausch Creek talk makes me jealous of you guys with two drive shafts.....

 

I seriously don't understand what the issue is with the driveline vibes. What degree caster are you running?


Looks good Steve!

 

I've camped there overnite once and I believe it was free but I could be wrong. It's nice to wake-up and wheel

 

I forgot I should add some pix from last weekend

My friends and my jeep in the rock creek

Mine alone, love my new lang arn and 35" tires

 

Nice rigs!

 

Does anyone have a working condition factory steering stabilizer I can use for the weekend? Fawking 4WD Hardware is shipping mine from Florida!:bawling:

 

isnt it funny how the rocks look so small in the pics. i hate that

 

Yup, you do a hardcore obstacle and the pics come out as if the boulders were basketball sized, it sucks. I've been trying to get my g/f to take more vids than pics sometimes...

Well, actually got a replacement Monroe steering stabilizer to use for the next few days. RK tie rod all installed and tuned in. Re-centered my steering wheel. Good to have no death wobble anymore and the ride to be smooth as glass again after 3 weeks. Ahhhhh..........:bounce:

Cool shots Brendan. Saw that thread and was lazy so i didn't send any pics.
Paper writing does suck unless you are using an academic steroid like adderal. :bender: My senior thesis like most schools was 25 pages, I barely read 25 pages let alone write that much.

Whats the deal otherwise guys. Lets plan the next trip, I vote weekend up in Maine, been wanting to go since there was a group this summer.

 

very cool BB

 

BB congrats on the site. thats cool stuff. prob the best compliment you could get.

also, Im selling my 35" tires/wheels..

http://jkowners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=39206

Didnt put up a price, not sure what they are worth.. also they do have more than 60% treadlife left, i was just being conservative..

 

I'm interested

 

thanks guys....

Invited by Hudson Valley 4 Wheelers to wheel in Beacon, NY with a small party this Saturday for the Beacon Firetower restoration project (private land opened up only for this matter) can't pass it up, thanks for the general invite though.
