Rausch Creek in February 2023

[Rusty PW]

Isn't a place with a swimming pool, fitness center and a restaurant called a
Hotel?

It's a monsoon coming down most of the day. Hardly anyone at RC. I'll post pics and videos when I get home.

The remains of 25 lobsters. Had steak and lobster for dinner. One PW guy from Maine brought the lobsters. And one PW guy is a rancher brought the steaks.

Stopped while someone is changing a flat tire.

I'll be hitting Rausch Creek on July 15.
If I camp, it will not be at a Luxury resort

I've been busy with upgrades and repairs on the TJ.

Separated and installed new OEM looking switches for my Lockers, front and rear, as well as a new compressor on/off switch for the York.

New Seats

Rear Airbags finally gave up the ghost. Everyone always asks how long they last and if you have any issues? Looks like these got at least 15 years, but probably closer to 18. It was dry rotted and leaking. Hard to complain about something that lasts almost 2 decades with all of the use these have had.

Old vs new

This picture is the definition of a Shade Tree mechanic

I had to replace a messed up valve stem, so I did the ol trail fix method.
Jack + weight of the engine always does the trick

Closer look

And last but not least, I removed the stock diamond plate and frame mounted rock rails and installed a set of Poison Spyder Rocker Knockers with sliders. These lined up perfectly with the Genright rear corners.

I'm ditching the spare tire and swapping to a much smaller rear bumper as well.
Waiting for my Poison Spyder BFH II rear bumper to arrive and then I am done for a while.
