In this video, we take a look at some sneak peaks of the 2024 King of The Hammers Every Man Challenge race, the days leading up to qualifying, tech, and race day.
It has been a wild journey building this rig, turning a 2009 Jeep Wrangler JK into a 4500 Ultra4 spec car and taking it out to race in the hardest off road race in the country!
I have so much to share with you all, so it will have to be broken down into multiple videos.

Once we arrived to Johnson Valley, CA, we had to unload the Jeep, set up the pit, and get everything ready to start focusing on the week ahead of us. We left Oklahoma and drove through the night to make it to KOH, we arrived on the Lakebed around 3AM after 20+ hrs of driving. There was a tremendous amount of rainfall the day before, and the F250 tow rig ended up getting stuck in the mud with the trailer attached... So we had to unload the race jeep and pull the truck out of the mud, what a great way to start our adventure!

The first order of business was to team up with Accutune Offroad and get the shocks dialed in! I had ordered the Fox triple bypass shocks from them, and as always they sent them out custom tuned for our specs (one of the amazing services they offer)! Unfortunately, we ended up adding more weight to the jeep than expected... Luckily we were able to meet up and hop in on their onsite shock tuning and get the rig dialed in thanks to Ryan! The team over at Accutune is fantastic at what they do, and know shocks from the inside out. Its amazing how much of a difference proper shock tuning makes, and it really transformed the handling of the jeep in almost every aspect.

We continue on, taking the Jeep out for some seat time and practice runs, and prepping for Tech, with our qualifying run and race day shortly approaching.

Stay tuned for more videos uploading soon!
