Ok, so for anyone that goes, or has been, ive got a question for ya.

Im going there relatively soon with a 91 k5, stock with 33inch tires, what kind of trails should I be lookng to stay on(Color)

And how well can I expect the truck to do?

Thanks
 
You should be fine with greens and some blues. Use your first trip as a feeler and go with it from there. You also might want to consider going on a guided ride. Knowing what the rig can do is one thing, what the driver can do is totally different. I'll still do mild stuff on trail rides.
 
Hey thanks, im prob not going to take a guided ride, my friend is bringing his stock 09 nissan frontier, so we will be taking it easy as he doesnt want to bang his truck up, and well, neither do I quite yet, its in too nice shape, should of bought one that was banged up a bit, lol.

Greens and some blues, we will take it as a feeler trip, thats a good idea, thanks alot.

Post up over on Rausch's forum when you want to go. You might find a few others wanting to go.
 
I just took my truck to rausch and did mainly green, but did take a couple blues. the greens are mainly access trails to get to all of the obsticle trails, they are made up of dirt,mud and small rocks embedded in the dirt.
my truck right now is only 1/2 ton axles, open and 33's Just go and try little at a time, then build your truck to what you want to do.
 
i live on the island and i may start going soon if i can get one of my friends to follow or ride with me, its a long trip for 50mph max..
 
Gotta have two trucks to go from what I understand, so follow would be better, lol.
I very well may be going this month, off the week of the 22-28th if I can get my buddy to come with his frontier it will prob be done, if you want me to let you know? Prob stick to greens, maybe attempt a few blues if it goes well, for the first trip.
 
Theres a shop here (jp's crawler offroad) in the bronx that is organizing a trip to rausch from 6/5 to 6/7. right now there seems to be alot of interest in getting a convoy of about 20-30 of his customers.

im definitely planning on going. i can get both of you NY'rs some info if you want...
 
done deal. i know jp is working on the website for his shop. he was telling me that there should be at least 40 people gauging interest in this trip.

we would go up friday morning, then come back sunday afternoon evening time. people can either camp out or stay at the nearby hotels. i think they run a special deal for 50 a night if you tell them you are going to rausch.

he has a flyer, i left my flyer at work....looking forward to it. taking the wife and both dogs.

i can give you his email address tomorrow so he could send you some info on the trip. cool?
