Post rausch creek

hey everyone....i just got a sahara unlimited 3 weeks ago and want plan to go offroading at rausch creek some weekend in october...i havent put any mods on it yet.

i did some research on rausch creek and do you think that the blue trails will be fine for a stock jk?

I ran greens and blues when stock and other than some beat up skid plates (hey, thats what they are for!), made out fine. I did have the stock rubi mud terrains and rock sliders, which I'm sure helped. If you have the SRA's you'll be able to get around, but better tires would be even better and just be careful with the rockers and if you have plastic or aluminum "side steps" I would remove them before wheeling.

You'll have a blast though. I'll be there October 23 with others if you are interested...

x2 on removing the steps and careful on the rockers, I ran 35's and 2.5 rcx lift and still smashed mine in pretty good. Have fun, RC is an awesome place. Be sure to check out Rock Creek it's an amazing site.

i did greens and blue with my stock 2dr, only issue i can see you having is bc your wheels base is soo long and your not lifted. other then that i think youll do just fine. im actually going in october sometime. it will only be greens and blues bc im going with a stock 4dr sahara and a stock tj. if you wanna try to plan something let me know!!!!

We went to Rausch Creek in Sept for "Topless for Tata's". I have a 2" Rubi Express lift, but 2 others in my group who are new to off roading were totally stock. One was a 4 door the other was a 2 door. They had no trouble on the green/blue trails. Other then scraps on skid plates the only casualty was when a tree jumped out in front of someones bumper . Not mine - Crap! Need an excuse to get Rock Bumpers!

As with everyone...you should be ok. Do try and get some rocker guards...those pesky rocks can run outta nowhere . I have Shrockworks...at the end of the day at RC, they were scarred and marred.

Ran mine stock at topless for tatas also and had a blast. Of course I have my lift now. My son in his stock TJ was putting lifted JK's to shame. Go have fun! A good trail guide can make all the difference.

I did the green blues in my stock jk with sra's and I was the only stock jeep in the group. Picked some good lines and was fine. I fell off a rock and curbed my right rear rim but that was it. That was before I got my real tag
