King of the Hammers 2025

This Toyota definitely impressed the crowd, killing the trail and all those winchers.

 

It was a great week! After 1000 miles of highway driving and a week on the lakebed all the truck needed was gas. I'd love to get another desert trip in before work gets busy again.


Here's some photos:

 

I didn't make the lake bed but watched every minute of coverage. It did not disappoint! The coverage is what makes it hard to commit to the drive.

 

That UTV-ish that probably would have came in second for Race of Kings but had their frame snap in that downhill section. Oof.

 

Did see you saturday by jack hammer. Did not knew you were going or I would have said hi!

 

I went there on Friday night and did not recognized any of the vehicle. So I kept driving north. radio’s multiple times with no reply

 

Anyway

 

Good times

 

I was not able to finish Tacoma in time, used Tundra for driving/camping this year. We need to set a marked TW camp next time.

 

I went to last year’s rock and did see another truck and an xterra, there was a white Tacoma there but the spot looked empty. So I jest kept going towards the sand.

 

Really sucks we missed out.

Missed you guys. I was so pissed I didn't even want to see a picture of Hammers in my FB feed.






Making progress for next year... I guess.

 

Thanks for navigating and making sure I didn't run over any UTVs.

Next year I'l bring a large flag or banner to hang on the rock and a few solar landscape lights so that everyone knows it's our camp. I'll definitely be camping in that shift pod again so that can be a landmark too.

 

how was the Pod? For times when we are locked into the same spot for a couple of days, it seems like a good option for 1 or 2 people.

 

I loved it. It's perfect for trips like KOH. I have the mini 3.0 and thats perfect for one person, it might be kinda cozy for two unless you're sharing a mattress. I didn't get cold once all week. 10/10 would recommend.

 

The iKamper Skycamp Mini is great for one and ok for two. It also is 10" wider than the bed, which is where we were before. We have the REI Kingdome, 10X10, but it's a bitch to put up. Plenty of space though.

 

Yaaaa I didn't want to risk setting up by a random campsite so I ended up bouncing around the area and found another friend to camp with. The sandy entrance was a fun surprise, rear end started to bury itself, just let the v8 eat and launched off weeee

 

At least the package was secured!

 

got some killer shots while really pushing the suspension in the whoops

 

You should have came by and said what’s up!

 

Count on it next time homie
