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)

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.
