that is a nice set up -- you have inspired me to do something very similar with my h1 and a rtt. The h3t is a great truck. I have lots of pics wheeling, rock climbing and Big Bear winter trail blazing but no real "expedition" pics...so I will have to get out and hit the trails for some pics eh?

Jason's biz has definitely grown. He is now in Huntington Beach and does wonderful work. I met him through a buddy who had custom a-arms made for his race hummer as well as having Jason completely re-do the trophy truck he bought from Jesse James. I had a rock-ram improperly installed that he...

Ditched the shocks on my hummer several years ago and went with airbags. Much more comfy and variable height for some massive ground clearance and those pesky low parking garages (plus chasing leaks gives me something to do in my spare time!). Still need to re-do the airlines to something more...

ah...the land master is always a good choice!

nope! First hand experience saying the seats are narrow -- they are. All the drivetrain is tucked up in the center tunnel for ground clearance not leaving too much space for occupants. The trucks are wide but not really as big as most think. That camper is interesting -- looks like a serious...

to be honest, I rarely see hummer bashing here...just a lot of misinformed opinionated people (which we all happen to be) which most often gives the opportunity to set the record straight and give a side they may not have considered. I do not think we need a hummer forum -- I like the idea of...

A buddy of mine did the conversion a while back and made a tool to pull the gear out without taking the whole side off. I think basically it's the end of a halfshaft to screw into the gear...I shouldn't speak out of turn though. I heard there was something available to help (maybe that's what...

well -- I have had some pretty bad luck owning vehicles in the past and I don't go trolling in other threads bashing them (but then again, that would be 1st hand experience...unlike much of the bashing which is pure conjecture). That being said, I don't really mind a negative comment that is...

thanks for the heads up on the halfshafts -- I have a lot of spares. I was thinking of going with 12k shafts a few years ago but Mike Sabarese mentioned that having a larger u-joint gave them a bit less articulation and with my suspension I was going a few inches past stock, so... I passed...

Just checked Lynch's site and there were 11,818 civi hummers cranked out between '92 and '06 (no '05's). I don't think this number includes the few thousand k-series/12,100 lb trucks. There are thought to be about 7500 to 8000 left on the roads here in the US after so many have been bought by...

Ah...the Congo. No, I don't think these trucks would do well in the dense jungles...or fair well with the local authorities who would most likely "liberate" it from us. Like I said, different strengths and weanesses. Went through the whole thread...what an adventure! Probably much more...

An H1 can be over-loaded to carry that much weight and it does fine...just don't do any extreme wheeling at that weight or you may break stuff. Redrover is probably referring to the 12100 lb k- series trucks which were always available (and still are in fleet purchases). Btw, the numbers that...

Dave/Maxingout explained it perfectly -- every vehicle is designed for different purposes and excel in different ways. It is also true about the maintenance being fairly easy as most everything is accessible with all the ground clearance as well as pretty much everything is bolted so any part...

you will have to be more specific about what the DRC is...I am guessing it is a narrow trail that might require mirror removal and greasing up the sides of the truck. Like I have mentioned before, all trucks have strengths and weaknesses. There exists trails that some vehicles will do well on...

The curb wt varies from yr to yr (they gained a bit of weight almost every year as more crap was added). My '97's curb is 6610. The gvwr of nearly all civy hummers (h1's after GM bought the name) is 10,300. The fleet trucks (border patrol etc...) and the '06 Alpha's were 12,100 gvw. One thing...

diesel H1's do not get 8 or 9 mpg -- the gas ones do and they only made a few hundred of those in the mid 90's. My H1 is on 40's and get's 13 to 15 on the freeway, which is pretty good for a truck the shape of a cinderblock weighing 8000 lbs loaded. Yes, it was bad form to put engines in that...

me too!

omg. Who cares. Wait for the test.

typical cya -- I remember seeing a video on youtube with two stacked being used as a "bridge". Probably not ideal but good idea knowing it can be done...just stand back!

I think the point was that if they can be bent to 45 deg with less than 100 lbs of force (and crack) then lord knows what 4000+ lbs would do even in the most basic situations. I guess one could try to not get stuck in anything other than perfectly flat terrain to properly support it but having...
