Hey yall, A couple of friends and I are attemping to hit the Hammers after thanksgiving. Thanksgiving weekend is typically huge at the hammers so im sure alot of yall are already going but We dont plan on actually celebrating Thanksgiving out there(family obligations) but plannin on going for like a day and half or so after to get some wheeling in. To those who met up with us at Calico, Smilin Jim and Roastbeef. Im running with the same pack so it will be fun. I say attempting because were currently tyring to finish up my exo and installing ram assist on my rig and as you know it always down to last minute so ill keep yall well informed. however just wanted to get your the neurons fired up about it. If you think you can make it hit me up. Happy Wheeling. If you are already going ill see you out there.( hopefully ) haha :grinpimp:

are you going to be at the rc comp this Sunday in Apple valley?

I dunno. give me the details: how to get there and contact info.. i can shoot up there for bit. sounds like fun. i take it you will be. It would be great to meet you.

Thanks 84 so cal. ive seen your rig before! very nice!
I know my buddies have run Claw and Sledge with relative ease before so i think those for sure and smore! i really want to try all. Back door. outer limits.

P.s. sorry to be so flakey, i might end up leaving early friday to get some wheeling in on friday and sat. still not sure yet. sorry to keep changing days. i know alot of yall will be out there already so no big deal but for those that are gonna meet me up there on a certain day just wanted to give yall a heads up. ill figure it out soon lol!

uv seen my pos where at have i met u before??
and whats ur wheel base on ur rig and what axles are u running in the front ??

actually ive seen it on the show your rig thread on here. nice.

im runnin all toyota. 115 inch wheel base. Your rig was a long bed too from what i saw. is kept mine stock. love the wheel base.

p.s. we havent met and i meant to put I* not is lol

yup mine is long bed i love the wheel base on mine but urs u might wanna measure again cause stock is 113 i pushed my axle forward 3.5 inches
so urs being 115 i dont belive is stock

and i meant inner axles u running stocks or bobby longs??? just curious

oh my bad lol! oh... thats right i adjusted mine a little when i did the 4 link in the rear. nope no bobby longs yet... cant wait to get them but you know how it is.... that dam money thing

We plan on being out there on Friday early enough to do runs, probably around 10:00 a.m. We usually camp around N34 24.441 W116 31.214. It's on the left of Boone Road just after you turn the corner to drop down into the lake bed.

I have no idea how everyone finds each other once you get out there.
Vicki

sounds good. i have your cell # as well so ill call.. give me an update when you get specifics on days and times.

i might be down for a day run on friday. a bunch of fj's did claw, so we could do it no problem.

last time i was out there we tried to run aftershock, but had to turn around because we were with a jeep that couldn't hang.:flipoff2: (31's, only rear locked)

back door is fun to play on.:D

calw is one of the easiest trails out there lets go run wreckingball

oh my bad lol! oh... thats right i adjusted mine a little when i did the 4 link in the rear. nope no bobby longs yet... cant wait to get them but you know how it is.... that dam money thing

ya i know all about the money thing but i would just advise bring a couple spare birffs with u then

calw is one of the easiest trails out there lets go run wreckingball

i'm going to try not to lay her down before i get the exo on. i'm also only running 35's. not familiar with many of the trails out there. any pics of wrecking ball?

i do but im too drunk to find them at the moment ill get them up maybe in the morning and u can get through there no problem u just gotta take the glass off and get rid of that overly glorified cold air intake :flipoff2::flipoff2::flipoff2: hahahaha jk bro it ads character

update yall! finished my exo and ram assist! We were talking about runnin wreckinball on the last day or so. herd its pretty wicked. Yea for now we just carry a few extra birfs handy.

:grinpimp:Hey Roast! why dont you roll out with my friday late afternoon or night and lets knock out a night run and wheel saturday. let me know.

its probably not going to happen this time. i want to, but the timing sucks. i have too much planned in the time surrounding friday, and it would really drain me to get out there.

sounds good. good thing is there is always a next time!

Looks like We are gonna definitely run Wrecking Ball. Let me know if your going and if you wanna run with us. Pm me and we can figure out when to meet up.

Awesome Thank you so much Rubi! Did i see your hubby man handling the toyota on the 1st video lol! if it was what a stud!

Soooo, you have to be in a Yota to be a stud??? Anyway, no, that wasn't him in the yota.

Just be sure to have a good winch (For Wrecking Ball) because you will want it for the last obstacle even if you have a long wheel base.
Vicki

thanks for the videos again. i dont have one yet but watching the videos makes me think ill run and grap one tomorrow now lol! actually in the video he looked like he might have been one of the guys on the rope yanking the yota back on its wheels. not the guy driving. at least it looked like him. so i meant literally man handling it lol! yea in most cases to be a stud you need to have a yota but you guys are acceptable lol!!! jk of course!

Yes, you are right, that was Alan helping to pull the spotter line. I had to go back and look at the video because I didn't recall if he was one of the spotters or not. I originally thought you meant the guy "driving" the yota. :D

dude, i got my warn M8000 for $480 with a roller out the door. tough little winch pleanty of power for your light yota.
