So over the past 2 years i shifted from Honda to Jeeps and i’ll be the first one to say i like this a LOT more then cars. This past weekend i drove down to Rausch Creek Off road Park in PA and camped / wheeled the entire weekend. unlike cars you’re always doing something and can challenge yourself and your car in a ton of different ways. The people are all friendly and fun to hang out with. Camp fires and all the random crap that goes on after dark is a blast. Most people think of going in a big mud hole and out the other side when they picture off roading. This place has some mud holes, but its mainly rocks and hills and hills with rocks haha. ill let the pics do the talking. I have the black wrangler ![http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp224/erikneve/2009%20motorama/100_1466.jpg](http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp224/erikneve/2009%20motorama/100_1466.jpg) ![http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp224/erikneve/2009%20motorama/100_1467.jpg](http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp224/erikneve/2009%20motorama/100_1467.jpg) ![http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp224/erikneve/2009%20motorama/100_1468.jpg](http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp224/erikneve/2009%20motorama/100_1468.jpg) ![http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp224/erikneve/2009%20motorama/100_1493.jpg](http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp224/erikneve/2009%20motorama/100_1493.jpg) ![http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp224/erikneve/2009%20motorama/100_1499.jpg](http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp224/erikneve/2009%20motorama/100_1499.jpg) CRUNCH ![http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp224/erikneve/2009%20motorama/100_1512.jpg](http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp224/erikneve/2009%20motorama/100_1512.jpg) I took on some water here. good thing for drain holes.

How helpful is it to have that spotter in front of you? I dunno if I could trust someone while climbing over rocks in a jeep. ---

a spotter makes a HUGE difference. Some of these rocks stick up 2-3+ feet and if you don’t ride on um right you can slide and damage some stuff pretty badly… especially if you don’t have good skid plates and body armor (like myself) that’s my next step. My jeep made it everywhere i wanted to go without being pulled or winched once. If i had better protection i would have tried a lot more. You can see the one pic of Erik on Rock Creek. It’s 1800 feet of just massive pointy rocks that are aiming to get your oil pan or diff cover ![http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/mjw4669/02%20Jeep%20Wrangler%20X/0314091457a.jpg](http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/mjw4669/02%20Jeep%20Wrangler%20X/0314091457a.jpg) ![http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/mjw4669/02%20Jeep%20Wrangler%20X/0315090954.jpg](http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/mjw4669/02%20Jeep%20Wrangler%20X/0315090954.jpg) ![http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/mjw4669/02%20Jeep%20Wrangler%20X/0315091156.jpg](http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/mjw4669/02%20Jeep%20Wrangler%20X/0315091156.jpg) ![http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/mjw4669/02%20Jeep%20Wrangler%20X/0315091157.jpg](http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/mjw4669/02%20Jeep%20Wrangler%20X/0315091157.jpg) ![http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/mjw4669/02%20Jeep%20Wrangler%20X/0315091221.jpg](http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/mjw4669/02%20Jeep%20Wrangler%20X/0315091221.jpg) ![http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/mjw4669/02%20Jeep%20Wrangler%20X/0314091336.jpg](http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/mjw4669/02%20Jeep%20Wrangler%20X/0314091336.jpg) ![http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/mjw4669/02%20Jeep%20Wrangler%20X/0314091235.jpg](http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/mjw4669/02%20Jeep%20Wrangler%20X/0314091235.jpg) ![http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/mjw4669/02%20Jeep%20Wrangler%20X/0314091211.jpg](http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/mjw4669/02%20Jeep%20Wrangler%20X/0314091211.jpg) ---

> [@badnewsmini](#): > > man lined up like that your jeeps looks stock…lol haha i know i don’t get it b/c it’s just as tall as the orange jeep and 1/2 inch shorter then the green one at the end. I just parked next to 2 jeeps that have 39.5 inch tires compared to my 35’s. I like my jeep being low actually. It keeps the COG (center of gravity) low and makes it less tipsey on off camber situations. I never rub tires and have had it flexed out pretty far so im happy with it. The new shocks i bought are kind of long for the lift I have so I might buy 1 inch taller springs if the shocks are acting as bump stops with the set up i have now ---
