Rausch Creek 2017

Post by RustyPW » Thu Dec 15, 2016 12:29 pm

It's that time again. To start thinking about Rausch Creek. Do we want the same dates? Also, we have to make reservations a little earlier so that we can get the two camping spots that face each other at the Jonestown KOA. Maybe Twinsticks will come this time. :lol:

Link to the campground.

For us it would have to be June 9th or later as the 2nd is STPR (Wellsboro, PA rally race) and my wife is a teacher.. But I'm the minority whom doesn't even own a PW yet, so please go with the majority vote. :)

Depending on the dates I'd like to come down, probably just for 1 night. Got a buddy with a JKUL Rubi Hardrock who would come as well. He is a Nat Gaurd guy, so drill weekend may get in the way, and I travel for work, so no idea my travel schedule until a couple days in advance.

Would a fairly stock 13 PW be alright through there?

Fairly stock would be fairly ok. There are a few places that get a little dicey, but careful placement of the rig will get you through. You will drag bottom (frame, sometimes a bumper). Yes, bigger tires and sliders would be a huge help, since you have a longer wheelbase than a 3G. Steps don't last long. But we don't put anyone intensionally in a position to wreck their truck.

Alright. I'm on 35" Toyo C/T's, not M/T's, but they're alright. Once I wear these out, which might be in time for Rausch Creek, I'll be going with Thuren arms and 37's. Don't really want to lift the truck... Dogs have a hard enough time getting in now, and I don't want to have to lift the 60# or 105# into and out of the truck.

I'm not attached to the side steps, but my wife likes them. If they become detached from the truck, she'll live. haha

That sounds so familiar! I "detached" my factory Mopar steps (yes, both of them) at Rausch one year. I bought WK sliders soon after that trip.

For the dogs, I bought a telescopic ramp at PetSmart for ours. It sits perfectly on the sliders, and the mutt just walks up and in. She was having issues jumping at the truck and kinda bouncing off the door sill. No more!

I'm down just need to know the dates. After June 15th and the kids may come, but I'm fine doing a solo trip again. Can't wait to go always have a blast.

If you don't have sliders I would highly recommend them, they have saves me more times than I can count and are well worth the money :cash: . Also a word of warning for those that have never been :poke: , expect to get some light scratches down the sides of your rig from brush growing along side the trails. A lot of them buff out, but on occasion you get one that wants to stay. :doh: We don't tend to do anything extreme, but the trucks are big and maneuvering them down some of the trails can be tricky :D

Does June 23-25 work for everyone?

The weekend before is Father's Day, and the following weekend is June 30-July 2.
