My Trip to Rausch Creek 10/16/10
 

Went to Rausch Creek for the first time and I can say that that is some real 4 wheeling not some driving on a dirt road or through a puddle, this actually requires some maneuvers haha. I went with a group called C.O.R.E (Capital Off Roading Enthusiasts) They were a nice group a guys, helped me figure out the best way to climb over rocks. (Rocks are your friend) Got stuck once bottomed out on a rock and love tapped a tree got a little battle scar other than nothing broke. Now yesterday was a different story... my ball joint went out... great here are some pics from Saturday

enjoy

Nice!

Looks like you had fun..:icon_hyper:

it was very fun, I would like to go there more often. All the people there are really cool and nice, and its really not that far away from where I live

Nice, i have seen many a cool picture taken in Rausch.

Very nice

Dave did you ever take your truck to Raucsh?

Nah, plus I like my truck scratch free and dent free. lol.. And my luck something costly will break. lol

I used to be like that with my truck... but now I gave up there are so many scratches and dings in my truck. Did george get his truck fixed yet?

No he didn't. I think he's just going to do the SAS instead of fixing his truck.

Wish we could have made it. i dont want to break mine this close to winter. it some state ours will be ready to go there next spring for sure. we have to meet up.

speaking of broken.... both my hubs need replaced, drivers side cv, tie rod, and idler arm. I've replaced all of that stuff in 2010 other than the tie rod... Guess I'm not driving through puddles all the time anymore

Ive learned early and quick, offroading is an expensive hobby...lol. i really dont even want to think what ive spent this year. And now, i want to sell my camaro to get a winter beater, so i can dump alot more money into the blazer.

it is very costly. It also helps when you buy the better quality parts, the hubs I got were cheapies from the internet. I got the heavy duty ones this time around.

yeah we through tons of cheap parts in the front suspension when we first got it. they didnt last long, now almost everything but the pitman arm is moog. which is now boogered. both my upper a arms are shot. but i think im done messing with ifs. its going sfa. or if funds dont free up getting bds uca, and the realift thing that tucks the torsion bars back into frame for now.

I'm pretty tired of ifs too, especially after watching that full size rock crawl. That 4 door jeep was 100x better at everything than the full size because he had solid axle, even the little rubicon was better than me

mine does good, i smack and got hung up on the torsion bar drops. 33s would probably help some. right now its either pour another $700 into it with ifs, or for about $1500 - selling superlift... go sfa hmmmm..tough decision...lol

Be a man put some 5tons under it haha jk but seriously you should sfa it

that'd be awesome, then some 4.88 gears with 35" tires and 22" KMC rockstars :p

Oh my lord that'd be amazing

yo benedict1337 im new to this forum but ive been wheelin at rc4x4 for some time but we always take our jeeps or my truck but with some mods hopefully coming soon i could bring up the blaze for a day to wheel.. how far are you from rc? im in the king of prussia area..

i love RC.. unfortunatly i no longer have my jimmy but now im workin on a k10 whats getting a slight lift and some military 42s.. next time you wanna hit RC lemme know. i know a few guys that are ready and willing.. i know ill be going come spring but id like to go a few times before then to see what i gotta upgrade.. lol

there is a trip going up on black friday unfortunately I won't be able to make it. But I'm about a 1/2 hour away from rc so its not a long drive for me.

Well you may have broken lots of front end parts but I ripped my front skidplate off!!!

lol I'd like to have a metal skid plate someday... but it seems like my plastic one has faired better than your metal one

Its all good getting a new one pretty soon.
