Comments:
I have received a few e-mails about this
trip and I thought I should clarify a few
things! First, I never meant to discourage
anyone from attending this trip, I just want
to make sure you know what you are getting into. These trails are extreme
and unlike most other trails out there. Body damage, flat tires, and break
downs are common there. We as Dirt Devils did great out there last trip
out, but not without some body damage, punctured gas tank, several slashed
tires, and we did some winching! Everyone is welcome to come out, however
please note the following:
Minimum vehicle requirements for this
trip:
- 2 LOCKERS (not limited slips), no smaller
than 33" tires (recommend 35" tires)
- spare parts
- skid plates and body armor
- and if you are running a Dana 35 rear end
without a super 35 axle kit, you must have spare axle shafts (or borrow or
get some).
- Make sure your rig is in good shape. The
Hammers are not a good place to come out and break down. If you are not sure
about your driving skills, please call and talk to me please.
The last thing we want is someone to come
out and break down and be upset. Also plan for flat
tires. We had several slashed tires last
time out. That all being said, the Hammers
are a blast if you are set up for it. The last
time out, we had a very challenging run. Every year the trail changes though,
so it may easier or way harder this year. Please e-mail me if you are
going so I know who to look for. The are
groups going out Friday day, and Friday night. If you would like to come
out and ride or hike, we have seats available for the taking, let me know
if you are coming as a rider and I will set you up!
Let's go out and have a good safe trip! Call or
email Quinn Thomas
with any questions!
