 Topic: King Of The HammersPosted: 2010-Jan-28 at 12:19pm |

Anyone Going out to the King of the Hammers this year? I know there will be three or four of us from the ASU Baja team going.
Here are some teaser videos from the past two years
2008
2009
This years race should be really interesting seeing how much rain they have gotten recently. The desert sections will more than likely have some muddy areas, and the rock trails will probably be completely different than they were last year, or even last week.

We had a couple of alumni go down last year and do race prep for twisted customs. They came back with some wicked stories and wicked pictures. Its definitely on the list of things to do in my life time.

How is the weather looking? Just wondering if it might dry out a little bit. Makes me wonder how many RVs are gonna get stuck trying to get out there.

That's a lot of water. Looks like more rain this weekend, then it's supposed to be cloudy next week. Looks like maybe I should throw some swampers in just in case...

It may look ghetto from the outside, but inside the Stainless steel counters, instant hot water, shower, sink, three burner stove, TV, refridgerator, toilet, and the fact that it can run on 12v with solar panel, propane, generator, or any combination of the three make it priceless when in the middle of nowhere. Oh, and it sleeps 6 comfortably.

Man, that trailer IS awesome!! Did you make the modifications yourself? Sounds like a pretty cool project. Wish I had a trailer like that for the Baja events, no hotel charges  Enjoy the King of the Hammers! Later, Adam |

Next step: cut open the back end and put a gate. Toy hauler on the cheap!
I am liking the looks of the Tacoma too. Just happens to look like a certain one that I own haha, maybe sans rocksliders. Edited by tp - 2010-Feb-09 at 11:02am |

The trailer is a project my Dad and I have been working on for a few years. This is the first time it is going to be used for anything other than hunting. We will see how the tacoma does pulling it all the way out there and back, and hopefully the mud dries a little before we get there.

Agreed. Even though we were pretty much only there for Friday, it was a helluva time.
