I found out on fjbrusiers that the appalachian land crusiers are going on sat.

PM sent. I'll still try to work out the camping. If it comes down to it i might just leave her at home. we will see.

i think were just gonna do the car camping thing. i guess it depends on how cold it is.

Yeah we are gonna car camp! better then setting um a tent and all that nonsense for 6-8 hours of sleep. Shouldnt be to cold, load up the blankets and the sweatshirts.

Oh i put her in check alright....I think shes gonna sit this one out so I am back in for camping. woooohooo. What time are you guys planning on coming up friday night? Are you guys meeting anyone else there in the morning? I have a buddy that is planning on comming but will not be camping the night before. Hopefully he will be there bright and early.

me and my wife have friday off so i can leave whenever i want to. bob what time do are you going to be able to get out of work? i might just have to meet you up there.

I work till 4pm in harrisburg on friday. i am considering coming straight from work because it will save me about 50miles of travel as i live in the opposite direction. Also that would get me there before dark and i could try to round up some wood for a campfire. however, if no one else is going to show up till say 8 or 9pm I would probably go home for a bit and then come up later in the evening.

I will be on the road at 4:30 a brief stop on the way and then about 2 hours. I think i should be there by 8:00 latest.
My roomate and his friend are meeting us in the morning.

ok well ill be there by 8 at the latest as well. bob, im gonna give you a call tomorrow just to say hello and such, and see if we wanna work something out for convoying partway or just meeting up at rausch.

Sounds good!!
I cant wait to hit the trails. This is the maiden voyage!! well at least to a real park
The runner has seen some fields and such.
Bet this is the first real deal!!
I got just about everything on the Yotatech recomend list!
I took the subs and amp out last night to make room for my bed LOL

Sweet. I gotta put the futon mattres in the back of the bed tonight as well. This will be the soft-taco's maiden voyage also. It got a little action last hunting season but nothing much. This trip is gonna kick some A. Looking forward to it!!!!

I'll be there this Saturday with some friends, but they drive jeeps. My 4runner's in my avatar.

Thats cool. We got a Jeep guy in our group also. oh well what cha gonna do
just pull em out!
Hit us up if ya want

N8 Where you from in lancaster? I graduated from Millersville about 2 years ago

I am from the east side of Lancaster (near all the outlets) but I live in Maytown now. My wife's from Pine Grove which is pretty darn close to Rausch Creek. I graduated a few more than 2 years ago

Just upgraded (they're pretty used) to some 35's I got off craigslist for $60 - here's what she'll look like: (yes, that's rock rash from Rausch on the door)

Good find. Your runner looks huge. We'll be lookin' for you there.

no joke that is beast.
I am so buying bracket lift ASAP!!

Pretty off-topic, but I don't think I'd do the bracket lift again. I did a few years ago before I ever saw myself doing any rock crawling. I don't really regret it, but I don't think I'd do it again. I'm working on another 4runner and selling this one eventually.

I'm sure we'll see each other Saturday - Rausch Creek has been 90% Jeeps the times I've been there, so you notice when a Yota goes by.

I was up there on the 7th, and was a great time. I've got a bracket lift, and after the trip I'm getting a front skid plate. I banged the rocks enough times to know where my weakness is. I should have one made in the next couple of weeks.

I'm planning on going up there again on Sunday, 4/19. If you guys want to go then, let me know.

P.S. Here is a video of my trip. The first one is real time, the second is the same video sped up with music.

Yeah, I've meant to make one of them too, but haven't yet. We're taking at least one new guy this time and his Jeep is stock, so we probably won't be doing anything terribly difficult or I might have been more worried about it. Last time we did some blue/black's and my front crossmember took a beating - differential hit once.
