The sledge hammer trail is located ?? miles east off highway ??? in southern
California. The owner and driver of the 406 cow is Kai Serrano from San Diego California.
Due to the big 14.5 x 20 wheels and the short wheelbase of a 406 it was moderately easy to
get through the trail. I have to mention that the optional crawler gears where an
important part of the success.
 |
It looks pretty easy to climb over all the rocks with 14.5 x 20 tires on a
Unimog 406 |
|
| What's this little pebble here doing in my way ??? I guess I
just ignore it and drive over it pretending it's not there. |
 |
|
 |
Is this what we call grasing in the mountain, but where is the grass ???
How can a cow like me live off the thorn bushes here ??? |
|
| From the surroundings you can see that it's not always as
easy as the Unimog 406 makes it look. |
 |
|
 |
There is never a break and there are always rocks around. It's one
constant challenge, right from the beginning on. |
|
| A steep incline and big rocks, that's why they call it the
sledge hammer trail. Check out the space between the axle and the ground. You don't want
to slip for sure. |
 |
|
 |
Sometimes the rocks are smaller, but then there are more of it. At least
with the smaller ones you don't have to watch every step you make. |
|
Look at the passenger rear wheel. But
that's the only way to get over it. Is this what they call a bumpy ride, or what ??? |
