: Another JK Runs SledgeHammer AT JV
rubirobv 04-07-2009, 05:38 PM The rocks are huge here and I've never seen so many in one place. I ran the trail with my rock crawling buddies from NorCal. Two builtup Broncos, 69Crawler and Bent70 from NorCalBroncos.com and a badass built YJ. It was their first time running SledgeHammer also but not their first time at JV. We all worked hard getting through. I was exhausted and psyched at the same time. This place is badass. Pictures don't do this place justice but here goes anyway.
Beginning of SledgeHammer

Dirt Diever 04-07-2009, 06:45 PM That is awesome. I want to try it..:smokin:
bent70 04-07-2009, 06:54 PM Actually, that was my third time up that trail...it never gets old. Its awesome at nighttime too....kinda wish I didn't break cause I wanted to see if I could walk the plaque again.
Next time we will do jackhammer and more trails, its great to see your driving skills progress in no time we will do "full of hate" that trail I found off of clawhammer.
