There is a few of us going out to the lake bed for some carnage the weekend of the 27th. Anyone want to run? It's kinda of a last call for the Hammers before it gets to fawking Hot!:)

Fatty,
The NAXJA boys and their XJs and one MJ are going to be running down there the weekend of 13th and 14th. The guy in the MJ needs a cage, if your in the area check 'em out. We could use some advise on tube bending for a pickup cab.

Fatty,
Their going to run Wreaking Ball, Sledgehammer, and Jackhammer if that helps. My friend has a dark blue '89 Comanche that is shortened 29" with a 99" wheel base on 33" TSLs. I told him to keep his eye out for the bender crew and get your .02 on a cage. here's a link to some pic's

The wheels and tires are different now.

Me, Tusker, Bobaki, Incontrol etc will be back in Sept. for ARCA. I'll even have my zuk next trip. I'd love to go with you, I know the hammers a little, it would be sweet to go with someone that really knows the way around.

That is the weekend of the Toyota Jamboree.
20 plus vehicles on each of the trails (Wrecking ball, the Big Johnson trails, Sledgehammer, Clawhammer, Aftershock,...)

It's gonna be full of Toys.
I'll wheel with anyone but it might be a little crowded.

Know what I'm saying?!

I think a little crowded would be an understatment! I've been told that there are over 500 people signed up for the Jambo...

I've run the Hammers with 33's, 35's would be nice. However 33's on a Toy axle and you still have some kind of Diff Clearence.

It's getting close to Hammer time, anyone down for the cause? If you have never been to the Hammers I promise you have never wheeled anything like it...:)
