Pictures from Rausch Creek- fathers day 2012

A diff guard is a very very good idea. With that said my buddy has been to RC with me 3 times and hasn't had an issue with his diff. BUT i pealed back my cover in January. It wasn't because i was doing harder trails either; i slammed my diff on a green trail when i lost traction and slid sideways off a rock.

.... So I would highly recommend one as well.

Thanks guys. Maybe the next trip out we'll have a few more TUJ members? *Cough sal cough*

Matt, we will talk more when I see u again about the lifts. Soon.

Id love to join you guys on august 11th if it happens, since this will be my first time with the XK offroad being with experienced guys would certainly help. Thinking I may need some more protection first, hhhhmmmmm?!?!? 07JeepXK maybe we can meet up and make the drive down since we'd be coming from same area???

Sounds like a plan. Your XK has full skids right? If so just get a belly skid and possibly SA Rock Silders if it fits into your budget. Im looking to get a set as soon as they are available.

The belly guard is going to be a purchase for sure @200$ its a no brainer just more worried about sliders but if I need sliders in some spots maybe avoiding them and watchin technique isnt such a bad idea. What about diff guards is that a necessity?

I've been to Rausch Creek 6 or 7 times and never had rock sliders. With a good spotter on the tougher trails you will be fine. Its just nice having the armor like that so you dont have to worry.

Yeah with a 2" lift & larger tires you can get by without sliders. If you can swing a set though, they're really nice to have. Lol just ask Sal!!
