    Sign of the times -- Hummer dealer closes

    Well, I've been looking into both recently as well. If you could give me the power, comfort, and the sunroof of the H3 with the trail visibility, the suspension, and the cargo capacity of the JK, then I'd think you'd really have a winner. Oh, and you'd have to update the automatic...

    Sign of the times -- Hummer dealer closes

    I think the H3 Alpha is definitely a competitor to the Wrangler Unlimited. Sure, it doesn't have the 6-speed transmission as an option, but it does have the power of the V8. It also has the 4:1 transfer case and the same gearing in the diffs. It has traction control that will also assist the...

    How often do you really use your winch?

    You can, but as noted there's more control. In lots of situations, I've used at least one (sometimes 2) pulley blocks to adjust the angle of the pull in order to get the fallen tree in the right spot off the trail and not damage the healthy trees around it. This is especially true if the dead...

    How often do you really use your winch?

    Snow Peak BBQ Box

    With a proper chimney, lighter fluid is never needed. That stuff stinks and can alter the taste of the food cooked over the coals if you're not careful to let it fully burn off. With a chimney, you can use paper or something else like small, thin wood chips. I use the non-toxic firestarters...

    The only wiring I have inside the vehicle is from the switch to the relays in the engine bay (multiple). The wires carrying the power are run from the relays to the lights. For these wires, I ran them from the engine bay, under the vehicle, up through my rear bumper, in the space along the...

    best way to air down?

    I have been very happy with the Stauns. I like being able to get them started and then work on other stuff while they're doing their job. I have two set for the front pressure and two set for the rear pressure. When the front are done, I can quickly move them to the trailer to finish off the...

    Snorkel Installation Question

    Good to hear from you Roger. I'm hoping that the "Macguyverizing" is kept to a minimum. Luckily this snorkel kit was actually made for my vehicle and readily available in the US. Score one more for ARB supporting this vehicle. I'll post up picks in my truck thread when it's done. In fact...
