I ordered the 7100's from George last week, but I haven't received them yet. But after this trip talking to the aggressive drivers (I won't mention any names, Peter), I think I need the Kings 2.5, because I drive like him! I'll have to talk to George to see what I can do to swap them.

The only thing I'm worried is if I want the performance version with the towers and somehow keep my stock air box.....

I still have my stock air box over the billet towers, granted it is tight, but it still fits.

Had a great time with everyone at Rausch Creek. That's definitely something I would do every year. I'll get all the videos up as soon as I get a chance. Thanks to everyone that cooked. Hope to see you all again next year at Rausch.

It was a pleasure meeting you and your family! I hope you come down next year, too! We had a great time!

Really? From the looks of Peter's, his Thuren towers are tall and don't seem to fit with the stock air box.

Do you have the Carli or Thuren shocks and towers? Can you take a pic and post it or text it to me?

Thanks!

We finally made it home. We shredded a trailer tire on the turnpike. That was an adventure!

We stopped at the tire shop and bought 2 new tires and a rim. I now have 2 spares, because 2 is 1 and 1 is none, as they say.

Brad and I had a great time! It's good to see old friends and meet new ones. We should start now on the fall planning! Lol.

Glad you made it home safe and sound. I can't wait to see the videos of us climbing Jotter's way.

When are you thinking for the fall run? How late in the season?

I think that a winter run in the snow would be a blast!

And I'm up for a Fall run. I would like to see how my (upcoming) new King 2.5 and Carli coils perform.

Glad everyone made it home in one piece.

Same here with you and Chris, Russ. I hope there were no issues with that spare while Chris was driving your PW home, too.

Have you checked for any damage from that hill climb at Lake Christy?

Nice pics and good videos guys! Next time maybe... But it sure looks like rock rails are mandatory!

Nope. I don't have rock rails and I didn't need them. Only once did I hit the rocker panel and I just gently tapped it. Only damage was to my fog light, knocked it out of place somehow.

Rails are necessary if you want to do some of the harder trails like what Peter and Rusty did at Lake Christy.

RustyPW · Post by **RustyPW** » Tue Jun 24, 2014 9:51 pm

It's going to take me forever to down load the videos.

I hate that I missed it, I am going to have to make it next year, that looks like WAY too fun of a trip to pass up!!!!!!!!

Thread for the Fall trip created so head over to sign up and post suggestions for dates.

RustyPW · Post by **RustyPW** » Thu Jun 26, 2014 2:11 pm

I got a couple of videos down loaded to youtube. Still have a bunch more. If anyone likes to see before I post them up. Go to my youtube channel, Rusty PW Nismo.

Also getting another Toyo tire tomorrow to replace the one I blew out on the trail.

Anyone have any videos from Sunday morning of Mike and I climbing that hill?

You guys make it up that hill at Christy Lake?

Both Mikes did. It was pretty insane. Took a few years off my life guiding them up.

No, a different hill. It's a RED trail called Jotter's Way, or something like that. It's a sheer smooth rock face that is behind the "playground" area. It was quite different. I imagine you have run similar on a larger scale in Moab.

I have Gopro video from my left front fender that I haven't reviewed. I think Shane shot some from the base. Brad shot some from the top with his phone. I'll see what we can do. It may be next week. We are on vacation right now.

I told you the trucks were capable of doing it.

I should have put some money on it.

I had been up it once before, but that was before the lift and 35's so I didn't have the break over clearance to go over the top. I wasn't going to let anything stop me this time.
