Tacomas at King of The Hammers

Hey guys I am on my way out to Cali now on the way to King of The Hammers in Johnson Valley, CA. If you’re unfamiliar with the race and event do some googling it’s a pretty epic event. We are pre running the entire course for and with the 4619 race team Rusty Nail Racing in my 2nd Gen Tacoma.

if you or anyone you know is going to be there let’s post up in this thread and see if we can get a TW meetup on the lakebed on Wednesday the 2nd.

 

I’ll be in this piece of junk

 

I had the original plan to make the trip this year but ended up moving completely across the country. Trying to plan out a road trip for it next year.

 

The guy that I follow on Youtube from "Dirt Lifestyle" built a sick 3rd gen set up with a completely fabbed rear with coil overs, a marlin Crawler front end and wrap. If you could, would you be able to grab some pics of it?

Nice rig man! Would love to make it out that way some day in my life. Even better if I could take my truck

 

I'll be rolling in that Wednesday afternoon/evening from Washington. Probably wouldn't make it to a little meet Wednesday, but I'll see ya around!

Also throwing it out there. My buddy is coming with me and he is a professional automotive photographer. Let me know if you guys would like to see his work/instagram page/setup a photoshoot with your prerunner or your race rig!

 

Def looks like one sweet piece of junk!!

 

you have a build thread on this beast??! looking clean

 

I'll be doing a trip starting Thursday (the 3rd) that ends at hammer town.

Thursday: cleghorn, Stoddard wells, slashX
Spend the night in afton canyon
Friday: mojave trial and dumont dunes
Friday night: hammer town
Saturday/Sunday: general KOH shenanigans

Definitely down to meet up!

Im in for a meetup, I’ll be out there rompin in my bucket with @GundyTRD

 

What front bumper is that? Love the wheels too

 

You planning on running the rock trails in your rig too? What are you running for a rear setup?

 

He didn't do a lot of good for the MC kit.

 

Looks like good ole leafs and a rockjock

 

Yes sir. Some Alcan springs 12” radflo shocks and a rock jock 60

 

Mobtown. They’re out of business now.
They are black Rhino wheels the rifts I believe

 

Are you running the 4600 class Everyman challenge?

 

I am not. We are prerunning for that race but not racing. The 4619 team which we are here to help and support is. Justin has one twice in the last 3 years

 

I am a greenhorn when it comes to the kit. Please explain why he didn't do a lot of good for the MC Kit? Should he have went solid front axle instead? Is the MC RCLT Kit a good kit?
