King of the Hammers is coming up fast and if you’ve never been, just know it’s not your average off-road event. Long days, cold mornings, dusty afternoons, loud nights, and nonstop action. Come prepared and you’ll have a great time. What to Expect Desert conditions all day and night. Weather can change fast, so plan for cold mornings, warmer afternoons, wind, dust, and noise. Racing runs early and late depending on the class. Cell service is limited and services are minimal once you’re out there. Expect crowds, but also a solid community and good vibes. Much Needed Essentials Bring more water than you think you need. Food for the entire stay plus extra. Warm clothes and layers. A solid sleeping setup. Shade like an EZ-up or awning. Dust mask or face cover. Headlamp or flashlight. Extra fuel if you plan on driving trails. Trash bags, pack it in and pack it out. Basic tools and spare parts. First aid kit. Portable charger or battery pack. Ear protection if you’re camping near race courses or generators. Gorilla Motorsports Camp Gorilla Motorsports will be hosting a campsite and everyone is more than welcome to camp out and hang with us. Swing by, meet people, talk builds, and enjoy the weekend. We’ll be there the whole event and are looking forward to seeing everyone. Event Info This is a paid event. Veteran and military discounts are available. Extras at Our Camp We’ll have giveaways, Gorilla Motorsports merch, and food and drinks at times while supplies last. If it’s your first KOH, come prepared and keep expectations realistic. It’s dusty, loud, chaotic, and easily one of the best off-road events out there. See you all in the desert. Feel free to message me on IG/ TT to join our group chat @bronztaco

I would usually put a silicone on under the bolts during installation but I noticed the 4G taco has an OEM tape around the holes that seems to seal everything when tightened down.. anyone else know what I’m talking about? Should I take it back apart and add some?
