We trailride, camp, and sometimes rockcrawl. After going thrugh several different fullsized trucks (3/4 ton 88 exborderpatrol green Burb, V10 Ram, Cummins Ram, and the little TJ) we ended up in a H1 wagon. Works great for what we like to do. Gotten tired of unloading half the truck in campspots. So now we have "rooms", and a queensized bed, inside the truck. Tents are cool, but not for us. There is almost no difference in width compared to other fullsized rigs. We do know how to turn around so.:)

The truck is bonestock (well almost): Upgraded to 17 inch wheels and shocks by GT Inc. Roofrack (mainly for the awning, fullsized shovel, and an extra jack). Everything else we carry goes inside, and it all fits for up to about 6 nights out, including a dog. We always have cold beer as we got tired of fighting with ice and got the Engel fridge. Since we like to move almost daily power is no problem, and usually we carry one extra yellowtop behind the driverseat.

Some past destinations: Moab area, Hole in the Rock, Death Valley, Big Bend, Gila forrest......the French/Italian alps (with our Landrover friends twodoor Rangie).
Coming up: Escalante? More Moab? ............and?
 
yeah I second that, where are the pics of this beast??? Welcome. I'd really like to see an H1 built up for Expo travel.

Cheers

Yeah! Let's see some pics! I love the H1 and think it would be really cool set up for expedition travel. I have often dreamt about kitting out an H1 Alpha but the cost soon brings me back to reality!

Appreciate the great welcome. We have to take some inside pictures some day. Basically its stock, but thinking about pulling one rear seat.

Sure well come play with cruisers, nice pictures on the gallerie, eurorom. The Dona Anas, look so familiar. Shoot you a PM.
 
Did i see you today on HWY-25 on Socorro New mexico, do you still have the Luggage rack?

I saw today a Hummer Black H1 on I-25 at around 9:30 am and was wondering if it was you, I was on my way to Albuquerque!:rolleyes:
 
Wasnt in Socorro. But have been other times. Went and checked out Sawtooth mountain. Not enough terrain to really travel. But a pretty camping spot, off the road (may be 3, 4 miles only). Of course there is more terrain on the south side of the road to keep someone busy forever.....(Our truck isnt all that black most the time due to brush and dust....).

BNguy PM us if you happen to shoot for NM....
 
Will do. In-laws live in Ruidoso...actually Alto but I've been looking for trails in that area.

Hope to come out...well, sometime and will let you definitely know ahead.
