King of Hammers 2024

Truck is at the muffler shop getting 2 new cats and the muffler installed.

In prep news...got the 4runner axle housing swapped.. still have a laundry list of shit to button up before truck is drivable but progress is progress right ?


The rear still needs shock mounts done





can't wait but also FACK! I'm running out of time!

Hammertown map is up, it looks like most of the usual suspects will be back this year.

 

Drove it to work today... It was uneventful. Still goes when it's supposed to go and stops when it's supposed to stop. And nothing fell off, so that was a bonus.

 

We're sending a couple folks there this year with a booth next to COBB in the overland experience area just outside of HammerTown - feel free to stop by and say hi!

 

If you want to go into hammer town

 

Damn it looks like it got buttoned up

 

I'm glad to see it back on all fours!

 

hell yea dude good work!

 

It’s gonna be as cold as you can imagine. And dusty as fuck if you are near hammer town.

 

You'll want to camp at least a mile from Hammertown. People party all night and race teams are up early so it never gets quiet.

It looks like it could rain on Monday which is going to suck for people setting up booths.

 

Got to within .7 miles of the smog shop yesterday with no check engine light. (I'm not joking, it was .7 miles away). I could see the shop... aaaaaaannnnd.... Check Engine light came back on.

This time it's the Transmission Temperature Sensor malfunction.

Fuck smog

 

Amen to that. I wasted a bunch of time getting smogged last year. At least it's not something serious!

 

Ya... it's nothing serious, but it's a pain in the ass.

You or Larry are going to have to stay behind me on the way to Hammers because I may still not have tags. Fees have been paid, smog will have been passed by then, but I'm running out of time to be waiting for the sticker to arrive.

My shit says May of 2023

 

Sucks that your vehicle is out of state and unable to be smogged right now until you bring it back this summer.....

 

Unfamiliar with Cali rules.. But if you kept those receipts on you. .Wouldn't that serve as proof? Just no mail yet

 

Ya, the problem is... You're right, if fees are paid and smog complete it would make that part ok.


BUT

If I'm already pulled over, I'm not getting out without a fix it ticket for tires sticking out too far, tinted side windows, no front license plate, lights where I'm not supposed to have lights, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.

Lol

 

^^This. Don't give them a reason to be pulled over.

 

The DMV by my house has a vending machine that lets you pay and get your tags instantly. If you're a AAA member you can also pay your registration there and get tags on the spot.

I've got your 6 on the way down so no worries either way.
