I know you guys get to the Hammers once in a while. How is the trail Wrecking Ball? Is it doable with a stock wheelbase Jeep on 37s?
We've run Sledge, Jack, Big Johnson, After Shock and Outer Limits. We were thinking of adding Wrecking Ball to the agenda this year.
I used to wheel a lot. . .

Alex would probably know. I think he and Brad ran it last year.

The trail itself is comparable to the others, maybe a bit harder but nothing that you guys couldnt do.....except for the fall at the top. Even at 109 my rigs front tires were barely clearing the top when the rears hit. Would probably have to winch it

Thanks a lot. We're looking forward to it. It's awsome to drive down there and be able to try a new trail every time. And, they just keep getting more fun 8)

Sunbonnet is a pretty fun trail as well. Somewhere in between Aftershock/Claw/BJ & Sledge/Jack

Um, I think you turned the picture sideways 
At least it looked like a gentle flop

WB is one of my favorite trails. It snakes up the canyon like a Disney Land ride and it’s even better at night. Based on the other trails you guys have run I would say you will be fine. The waterfall is not as bad as it looks….until you get on it. 😯

Got any full pictures of it?
We drove by Wrecking Ball last year and peaked at it. It looked fun. But, we just got done with Jackhammer and we were looking for some refreshments.

Cool video...Now I can't wait to get there 🙁
It looks like with 37s, the rock in the middle at the bottom is going to hang us up big time.

But I never let go of the wheel. More of a lay over than anything.

Ya gotta test the roll cage at some point
I've come close, but there is usually a big rock around to keep me from going all the way over. My fenders and doors look like they've been flopped though

When are you guys planning on going this year? Maybe if it works out we can go at the same time and run a few trails together.

We go at Spring Break at the end of March. Me, my kids, and my wife are off work/school then, so it's easy for me to break away. Last year we were the only ones there. We had every trail to ourselves. Besides the wind, the weather is usually pretty decent too.
We'd be happy to have you guys along if you can make it. There is usually three of us that go down there (small group).

the rest of us are either too chicken or can't get time off or don't want to drive that far or have some other excuse.
Closed Mondays.
