King of the Hammers 2025

Lap 2 of the rock race

 

Anybody remember if it's possible to tow a car hauler trailer(standard flat bed 10k) with load to our camping spot? I have situation to figure out.

 

You'll probably have to unload the truck to make it through the soft stuff by our campsite but I think it's doable. Matts friend Aaron brought that camper trailer in last year without any issues.

 

I think you'll be fine loaded until this section between the gap in the hills and our campsite where sand is really soft and you're cutting across trails. One of us will drive you back out to grab your truck.

 

Thanks. So, the situation is this: I finished the front but no alignment and still waiting for parts for the rear. Without rear it's sagging and not worth to do alignment now because I need to redo after the rear. As a result, I can't drive it and don't have proper trailer to tow it on, it's too wide(checked with Uhaul near me). Another rental company has a requirement for tow vehicle to be 3/4 truck for the equipment trailer, but I have Tundra for tow. I'm thinking now to be there with Tundra only, don't want to miss the event.

 

Want to try running my old set of kings set all the way to firm? They'll bolt up to your factory shock mounts.

 

no, thanks, I have order a package of @ARCHIVE stuff and I expect it will be very different from the factory mounted shocks.

 

Yeah they wont bolt up to those archive towers. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help get the truck rolling!

 

JV this morning between the main gate and the highway. (not my photo)

 

My work cancelled all of our leave requests for the next 60 days. No Hammers for me. I have a ticket I can transfer if anyone is interested in heading out to the lakebed for some some.

 

That's fucking weak, Larry.

 

My group is bringing a 40' gooseneck trailer loaded down, they brought it last year too. Gonna be interesting with it being slick.

It's my first year going, gonna be a muddy mess

 

Last year it rained the week the week before the desert race and rain was forecast the week of the main race. I made the decision to go to the desert race and avoid any weather or mud. While there was mud on the lakebed and the pits were a mess it was overall good and by the time I left on Sunday 90% of the mud was gone. So if it doesn't rain anymore it will be perfect by this Saturday and racing will be excellent.

 

Oh no, I'm fucking mad. And disappointed. Our shipping coordinator had to cancel a family trip to Hawaii, so I'm not the only one put out by this bullshit.

 

Call in sick Friday and come for a couple of days!

 

Box of spares loaded up, hopefully they aren't needed. Pair of axles, 2 pairs of lbj, ubj, rad hoses, tons of tools in another box.

Hopefully my friends can bring those extra pre sale passes they have. Rather not pay full price at the gate, might need to explore and find a way in

 

@AccuTune Offroad was quick, I was not expecting to receive full rear package before the KOH. Anyway I will not rush and do not plan to drive or tow Tacoma to the event. Will work on the Tundra sleeping platform inside the cab and will be just a regular observer on a stock truck.

 

Course map has been uploaded to OnX

 

Hey are there any groups I could possibly camp with mid next week? Former 1st Gen Tacoma owner, gotta 00’ tundra now with a gfc. Might be heading out for a night or two

Damn that blows, can’t believe they could just hit you last second with that. I might be interested in your ticket, how much would you like for it?
