Rausch Creek / RCRocs Nov 10.

Hey guys, just wanted to share some pics. We hit Rausch Creek with a couple other Xterras this weekend, and we also checked out the RCRocs rock crawling competition.

Here's my pics from the weekend.

Highlights:

I almost swamped my engine somehow... I was skirting around the edge of lake christy (water not even up to the headlights) when I hit a rock underwater or something causing a small surge of water into the engine bay. Well it turns out my airbox was not properly sealed and sucked in a bit of water (which triggered the Check Engine Light). Dave and Tom helped me take it apart and dry it out. We pulled a sparkplug to make sure no water got into the engine, but it looked fine. The funny thing is that I always carry a spare air filter, but this time I took it out of the truck and left it home, so we had to wait for my K&N to dry before we could start wheeling again. (Asking for a Volant and Snorkel from Santa)



We hit a lot of trails, my favorites being Snakebite and Trail 2.







We checked out the competition, which looked like a lot of fun for the participants.

And Dave won a Warn winch accessory kit in the raffle (Time for a winch, Dave)

was it just you, dave and tom(xterra wise)? i havent seen those guys in forever. did you happen to run into dawn and mike while you were there?

Well we also met two "new" xterra wheelers there. One totally stock with steprails and mudflaps, and one with D44/leafspring SAS. (he was just there to watch the comp, but joined us for a bit on the trails to try out his truck's offroad abilities).

We did have a chance to hang out with Mike and Dawn, though both had their hands full with working the Comp.

Anthony-

I had the same thing happened to me! After i went through numerous water holes, water was dripping from my stock air box. That's when i decided to do the Volant CAI with the snorkel, check it out here.
