Epic King Of The Hammers Adventure, A party with 80,000 people!!

In this video we wheel Johnson valley California and Cougar Buttes, King of the hammers 2022. I had an awesome week with ‪@DirtLifestyle‬ and ‪@Maxx.Powell‬ . I got a lot of footage of my 1997 Jeep Wrangler doing some difficult trails at Johnsons Valley. Made some new friends and met up with some friends I only see at events like this. Thanks to everyone that came out to the ‪@barnes4wd‬trail ride up boulder dash. It was awesome seeing the Morrvair in person Meeting Matt and Jamie from ‪@MattsOffRoadRecovery‬ I also got to meet Marvin from ‪@FlexRocksRollovers‬ and Wheel with one of my favorite Jeeps of all time! Wish I could make it out this year for king of the hammers 2023, maybe next year!

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Haha, Thanks man👊🏻

[@GuillermoGonzalez-db3sx]

Damn man, that was some good driving man. I think this video really shows how well your fab has held up and and how strong it is. I have a 97’ TJ on 35s, full lockers, geared to 4.56 and I want to one day get it to the point yours is at. I’ve been teaching myself to weld and have watched most of your videos where you fab stuff for your Jeep. Definitely going to use them as general guides for the upgrades. Killer channel man!

Thanks man, I appreciate that. 👊🏻

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

There were soo many people out there, it was wild

[@thumpstar12502]

I plan on going next year. is there one thing that you would recommend .can be an extra part for most common breakage that happens or anything that you wish you would have brought or did bring that you were glad you had

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Try and bring one of everything, lol. Mostly axle shafts being broke out there. I had no issues but I had spares just in case

[@CooRunner]

Pulled my third entirely out of the axle housing and also sheared a JE Reel HD rear driveline. Brought a welder and a spare driveline, paid off big time and was back wheeling the next day..

[@gamertech9498]

I’m proven networking works I am following Matt now I’m here..

[@FlawedOffroad]

Rad video, sad I wasn’t able to make it

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Thanks👊 It was crazy out there.

[@ashtonmariefranklin725]

I enjoy your informative information on the things you do. Plus i think guys with beards are sexy. I like everything off road, even taking ideas from some vids to put towards my own trail rig project that I'm working on.

[@8SecKawi]

What front and rear axles in the red TJ??? Anyone know?

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

High pinion Dana 44 out of a 76 F150, and a ford 9" rear out of a 1980 F150.

[@ruubguus4321]

👍💯✌️

[@justinscott82]

Enjoyed the video, sucks about the footage you can’t use. How’s the jeep handling steep terrain now that You’ve made the adjustments to your rear links and reduced your roll axis?

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

so much better, it is working great with the auto, i can actually crawl stuff now. I can be a little unstable on steep off camber stuff, but that is just the short wheel base.

[@Jeffsmess]

@@MuddyBeards4X4 did you have any transmission cut out on extreme angles ?

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

I didn’t notice it, seemed to work fine.

[@Jeffsmess]

@@MuddyBeards4X4 that’s awesome. I haven’t had any problems with my 700r4 but I’ve heard of folks having problems with other Jeep tranys. Love the videos, keep up the hard work, I know it’s hard to do a full time job and try to build a channel as well.

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Thanks👊🏻

[@DrxwK]

Love your videos man. You’re making me want to build my jeep faster lol.

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Thanks, Glad to hear it. Get out there and work on it!👊

[@ajustice2010]

Great video! Love to see the difference in it this year vs last time! Hey I must of missed it what yellow lights are those on the bumper?

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Thanks, those are Auxbeam lights. I have had those on for over a year and I love them.

[@ajustice2010]

@@MuddyBeards4X4 awesome!! Good to know any chance you could add them to your Amazon link?

Done, it is up there now👍🏻

[@rcmike09]

Any information on the comanche? That's one awesome rig.

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

It is Connor’s rig from @barnes4wd

[@Rockyjeeper]

How often have you replaced your clutch when you ran manual transmission and what type of clutch did you go with.

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Never, it’s a built 32rh auto, lol. I ditched the 5 speed about a year ago.

[@Rockyjeeper]

@@MuddyBeards4X4 with over 140,000 miles on my manual transmission, I am now smelling rubber burning indicating I need a new clutch. Snow up here is a little rough lol! I’ve been wondering about what type of clutch to go with providing I can push this to spring.

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Nice, i had great luck with the stock clutch from the local parts store. Lasted a long time, cheap and hooked up well.

[@jeremyharrington9025]

what steering is on that red tj?

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

I made it myself with heims and DOM from Barnes4wd.

[@calebberglund53]

what were those lil rc wheelers?

Axial scx24, we bought them in hammer town. But they are on Amazon or horizon hobby.

What's your wheelbase

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

It is currently 98".

[@sam_s_]

What tires are on the red Jeep?

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

I currently have pro comp mt2’s. They are a good all around tire.

[@sam_s_]

@@MuddyBeards4X4 They are a good looking tire. For some reason I have always viewed the Pro Comps as a lower teir tire but I may be misguided. Thanks for the reply.

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

They definitely take some abuse, never had an issue with them

[@Mcevoy91]

What's the intro song?

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Not sure, downloaded it from KZbin free music library

@@MuddyBeards4X4 no worries! It's awesome, can I get the song name if you know it?
