Default Rausch Creek Damage Report

Me: Bent steering stabilizer, Wayne brought his old one so I am good to go.
Nothing else major. Glad I got the auto tranny skid from Happy Curmudgeon, that saved my exhaust for sure.

Art: Sidewall, done. Small rear diff peeling. Body mount twisted. Drive shaft a little scarred. Crooked steering wheel. Rear shock mount bent a bit.

Steve: Caught a rock when we first got here and cracked windshield.

Wayne: Stuffed his 35s into his fender. Rear shock bolt now round.

Dave: Nothing really noted yet cept scratched skids.

Rodney: bent drive shaft, looks like he has to find a new one tomorrow.

Pat: Havent had a chance to talk to him

All in all we did all right. Today all of us were in some pretty hairy shit. Got to watch our trail leader who was in a CJ explode an axle in a rock garden. So he went to 3 wheel drive and led on lol.
Today we wheeled with the 4wd.com flagship JK, Piginajeep and Bustabizz. Great crew of guys and we had a blast.

You guys are great, They did'nt complain one bit about trail damage, or difficulty. I can't say enough about how much fun you guys made the trip.

i was really pissed off and upset about my JK, I really didnt want to even go this weekend. You guys made the trip fun and I forgot about it, well until this morning..


I have 100's of pictures from the canadian group. We'll get them up soon.

I need to properly wash mine and get underneath her to give a full report.
My RC steering stabilizer needs to be re adjusted thanks to the rock garden, but all in all she looks okay.

PIAJ you guys were awesome! Had a blast, and thanks for the cornhole lessons. We are already making plans to build a couple and practice up to take the title next year!!!

First time on the forum since I've been back. Took 12 hours to get home cause of traffic, so I was tired. I had a blast! An esperience I will not soon forget. I had great company both days, thanks PIAJ! You guys made us all feel welcome and we'll come back for sure.

Those were some of the toughest trails I've ever been on and my Jeep surprised the shit out of me. All our Jeeps did awesome and it's just a testament to how tough these things really are. Being able to drive all that way, wheel hard and drive home is awsome. Cornhole was a great game, and for sure the highlight of the hotel parties. I love it. I'm gonna build one and practice so next time we won't get smoked so bad, although Steve and I did whip ass a few times.

I'm just getting aroud to loading my pics and videos and will post them when I get a chance. I have a couple good vids of Bob's jeep going over some big rocks. They'll be up soon. Thanks again Guys, amd now I have to start planning how I'm gonna build this thing up for next year.
