Rausch Creek 11/28/2010

I went up to PA with a local club that I'm a member of and learned a valueable lesson.

"Any part that falls off and doesnt effect control of forward movement is deemed unnecessary."

RIP Chrome Side Steps you will be missed

Trashed Side step pic.......

Couldnt move because it was up against the rear tire.

Rausch was not so nice to my side steps either. They came off as soon as I got home. Great pics! Love the one of the white XJ in the water.

Nice pics Josh. Now that you bent up that step rail you have an excuse to get proper rock rails....haha Don't get the OEM Renne rock rails, you saw my bent one on my jeep. It saved my quarter panel but now it is done. I have another set in the garage that I don't know what I am going to do with yet. Rather have aftermarket ones. Oh well........

I like the white XJ pics and the WJ also, but they are all good.

Passanger side was removed at Rausch. Just removed the Driver side about an hour ago.. My rock lizard sliders should be here any day. Step took the hit and not the body (thank god!!!!)

The jeep looks 100000 times better without the steps!!!!

Yeah, the RL Sliders are good.

I'm glad it saved it... I knew something was :favorites68:. You should have heard it the whole group said they did (20 Jeeps)..

I went 10 feet with it like that and noticed the Jeep wouldn’t move any more so I got on the CB and said I have a problem. The guy behind me is laughing when he says, “You trashed that step". I thought ok no problem. Wanted to get out on the driver side but was over a mud puddle so I tried to open the passenger door. It wouldn’t open and I thought :favorites68: now I’m screwed..

I climbed out the rear passenger door which opened and was speechless... We unbolted it but It still wouldn’t move so we used someone’s winch to pull it loose. Tied it up on my roof rack and off we went with the rest of the group taking bets over the CB of what I was going to break next....
