Johnson Valley 4WD 1974 Hoodie

Johnson Valley is a 96,000-acre off-road playground in Southern California that is home to two of the toughest trails in America, Jack and Sledge, known collectively as "The Hammers.” Some of the most experienced off-roaders make a trip out here to challenge themselves and their rigs with some of the most unique terrain in the world and more often than not, break stuff. Seeing an unmet need for a hardcore off-road shop in the area, Johnson Valley 4WD opened their doors in Barstow back in the mid '70s, saving enthusiasts from having to drive back into San Bernardino or Riverside for replacement axles, lockers, and whatever else came unglued on the trail. Of course, they weren't just a repair shop, but also a builder of bulletproof rigs.
