HAMMERS IN FEBRUARY

[Dozer/73Tweaker]

Looks like the first weekend in February is working out.
Will leave either the 2nd or 3rd. Will work out with Ken
on leaving and returning dates.

[KidJethro]

The 3rd would work great for me. I'd prolly leave in the morning on the 6th.

Hammers Hammers Hammers!!! :beer: :pimp2:

[crwln73]

I can leave on the 2nd after work 3:00pm and come back on the 6th. :thumb:

[KidJethro]

I could prolly leave after work on the 2nd too....But damn, that puts me in JV after midnight... :blink:

Just sleep in your truck for a couple of hours in Apple Valley. Then when you wake up your about 30 minutes from camp. Its worth it Joe.

Anyone else goin? Come awn! You guys wanna be watchin video on the friggin PC again or do you wanna actually get out and WHEEL!!

[crewcabroller]

Yeah Joe, our camp is rather difficult to find at night, trust me... (thanks noel for the light again :D )

[KidJethro]

Well, I don't want to try to find the camp on my own. I'd like to meet up with someone and caravan down since I've never been there. Jason, when you leaving?

Just checked mapquest....518 miles from Paradise to Apple Valley. :blink:

[crewcabroller]

I don't know yet.

Are you able to go to Hammers Feb 3-6?
Hope to see you there.

[blazen91]

I'm sure he will be there. I should be able to make it too. Have you guys run Sunbonnet? I want to. I was suppose to go with the Tin-Benders yesterday, but I was recovering from the night before!! :puke2:

[crwln73]

No,
i want to run Sunbonnet and Hwy 20. Hey Mike you gonna stay the night this time?

[blazen91]

If I do, I will be camped out on the lake bed. I'm not going to try to get the motor home back in there!!

Hwy 20 is fun. I want to do it again.

So far I have done Claw, Jack, Wrecking Ball, Back Door, Hwy20 and half of Outer. I want to do Sledge or Hwy 20 for the Tin Benders Jambo in April.

[zcarczar]

Sunbonnet is a good trail, I want to do Hwy 20 but I think I need winch first.

Ran Jack, and sledge once then ran claw 1.5 times.

I should be out there, Im always up for wheelin.

[dleroy43]

I need to get me a desent trail rig. I live an hour away from the hammers and my burb wont fit most of the trails without bending something :blink: owell I have a hammer

[chvyhs]

I might be out there looking for a spare seat. I'm tearing the Sub down now so it won't see anymore trails.

Anyone need a photographer?

[zcarczar]

Richard if my gf doesnt go out there with me your more than welcome to ride with me.

[PsychoticDeadGuy]

hey, quick question. where are the hammers? i have never been there. i hope to have my k5 running by the 20th or so, so i have time to play and test it before this trip.

[PaloAltoK5]

I believe it's down by Apple Valey, CA

Somebody correct me if I am wrong!

[PsychoticDeadGuy]

ok, thanks. what is the damage that could happen there? i have a 87 K5 with 14bff and 3/4 ton 10 bolt on 33s, welded rear, 5" of lift. other than body damage, what should i worry about?

[PaloAltoK5]

drive-line damage, axels (inners and outers), diff covers, rockers, tie-rod, tire/rim if no beadlocks, glass, normal stuff, bring spares!! :2thumbs:

[Esteban86K5]

The Hammers don't offer much in the form of "beginners" trials. They are pretty knarly trails that usually need a well built, highly modified rig to run. Most of the rigs that will be on this run fall into the highly modified group and will probably not run the mild trails out there. Although there are ALOT of areas where a stock or slightly modified rig can have fun in, this weekend will probably not consist of any of those.

I'm not trying to scare you off, I'm just giving you a heads up. Wouldn't want you to drive far for something that may not be to your liking.

[CaptainInsano]

I personally am stayin away from there till I have some sort of real cage installed. Some big ass rocks down there.

[PsychoticDeadGuy]

well, my rig is kinda built, just need a cage and bigger tires. i also will soon need a D60 but, i guess i will stay away from it for now.

[crwln73]

So who all is goin now. No excuses. Quit web wheelin and come do some real shit. :flipoff2: Feb.2 - 7.
ITS AWN AGAIN :2thumbs:

[Esteban86K5]

I may come just to ride shotgun on one day. :2thumbs:

[KidJethro]

I'm going to leave on the morning of the 2nd, hopefully I can make it down to Clovis by the time Ken leaves and caravan the rest of the way with him. Don't wanna try to find the place by myself. :)


NoSmog, you better be ready to go on the 2nd. :flipoff2:

[crewcabroller]

I'll be there, probably Friday night through Monday. But maybe Friday morning through monday.

[Nosmog73]

I am off work and home at about 5 am...So what time you picking me and my shit up... :flipoff2:

[Nosmog73]

Is camp fires allowed..Do you need a permit or anything..

[Twisted Whipz]

from what jason says the campfires are more like bon fires, and explosions are common place.

[crwln73]

Is camp fires allowed..Do you need a permit or anything..
campfires are allowed. Pretty much anything goes. :D The only rule is your not supposed to burn anything with nails in it.

[Esteban86K5]

The only rule is your not supposed to burn anything with nails in it.

I got in trouble for that one. :roll:

[crewcabroller]

And people weren't too thrilled with your throwing of bags of gas in the fire when people were close to it :roll:

[zcarczar]

the pallets are ok if you cut them up and burn them in an old washer drum, that way the nails can be contained, i did that this weekend when we went to glamis and it worked good.

[Nosmog73]

Or use a big ass magnet in the ashes when you go to leave...???????????

[FRIZZLEFRY]

I think I may miss this trip :(

My tranny is not in the truck yet and I have to fab up a crossmember and do the drivelines :(

Im not outa time yet though.

[zcarczar]

I won't be able to make this trip, I have finals the week after and my law class is killin me right now. :crazy:

[KidJethro]

I'm still goin...By myself now though. NoSmog was gonna ride with me and split fuel costs, but had to cancel do to work issues. Anyone else wanna ride along with me? I'm coming from way up north, so I can stop wherever and pick ya up. All I ask is for help with fuel. I'm 520 miles from Apple Valley, plus however far it is from there to the hammers. 1000+ miles round trip. Who's down? And whiners need not apply. :flipoff2:

[crewcabroller]

It's 37 miles from AV to the lake bed.

[KidJethro]

So whats the deal? Haven't heard much about this in awhile...Ya'all are still goin right? Ken? Noel? Jason?

[crewcabroller]

Yes it's still on, show up next weekend out there and you will find us.

[KidJethro]

Ha! You forget that I have no idea how to get there you wanker. :flipoff2:

[zcarczar]

damnit I want to go, if you guys get bored you can come help me do some fab work on my dad's truck :flipoff2:

[crwln73]
