Must Have Front And Back

Hi all, Just how hard is this run? can I make with 33,s and a 3 inch lift? Sounds like fun but don,t want to have to be pulled of anything..Let me know if you think my rig can cut it...4.0 6 cyl. dana 30 front 44 rear only a limited slip in the rear...Thanks if not see ya on the next run...

unless your going to run rattlesnake then everything else is lockers front and back as this is a "lockers only" event. During tech inspection ALL RIGS are jacked up and tested for working dif lockers front and back.

This is NOT true! Our event is NOT a "lockers only" event. We have Fisher Mtn that is doable without lockers and we have a family SUV Rattlesnake run. Here are the requirements for the Fisher Mtn trail:

Fisher Mtn. For those that are not ready for the hammers or want to go on a easier run. Most vehicles can do it with a moderate lift ,under armor, 32s and a rear locker or limited slip or 35s with out locker if you dare. The beginning of the trail is a 3+ for about 1 mile than it gets easier and sightseeing over all the valleys in the area. We also cross the landers fault line and can see it in both directions. Near the end of the trail you can split the group up for the more equipped vehicles to make a run at the original Jackhammer its a 3+ with a 45 degree climb down the side of the mountain only the better equipped vehicles
will be allowed to do this part of the run

Geebo - hope you change your mind and come out!

I have a question, does the Fisher Mt. trail compare with any thing in the Calicos. Or maybe John Bull? I drive the Calico alot but know nothing about Johnson Valley. Thanks for the Help

There is one little stretch in the beginning that gives you the challenge. I would consider it pretty close to John Bull and Doran (not the gatekeeper), maybe a tad more difficult.

Thanks Desert Jewel, I like your info..much better lol.Hope to make it now for sure definite high maybe..Geeb

You might not have an open seat...Casey has his Navy buddies coming that will need seats to ride in, remember?

Will there be on-site registration at the main campsite? Still very iffy on whether I'm going to go to this, but if I do I want to make sure I'll be able to register.

Please come out!! We will have onsite registration open at 6 pm Friday night and at 6 am Saturday morning. The first runs leave at 7:30, then 8:00 and 8:30 depending on which trail you choose. I believe the 7:30 runs are full (Outer Limits, Sunbonnet, and Wrecking Ball). Clawhammer, Aftershock, Sledgehammer, and Jackhammer leave at 8:00. Fisher Mtn and Rattlesnake leave at 8:30.

Hope to see you!
