I'm going with some friends who wheel all the time. There job is to make sure I don't tear up anything. You should not have any trouble other than getting stuck in the mud with the stock tires.. I've never been up there, but when I got invited they made sure to tell me that the H2 shouldn't have any trouble. I hate tree scratches, and narrow trails that the jeeps and 3 wheelers can go down, but I'm too wide for.

What part of Houston are you in?

Great hope some other Hummers can go. Hate to be the only one pulling jeeps out of the mud. Don't want to spend all day on jeep recovery..

Thanks for providing the link, though. I'll definitely make it up there soon.

I would enjoy meeting once in and while a wheeling with the other Houston Owners.

Hey lets start a Hummer Chapter in Houston. No dues, Lax meetings for the family and preplanned trips to close places, where we can test our vehicles.

Guys check your PM.

drmiles.... I have been trying to contact Brian who used to be at Texas Offroad. If you have a contact for him could you PM me.

We might see you guys up there this weekend if I can talk mama into wheeling two weekends in a row. That shouldn't be too hard. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Well looks like I may not be going.

103 fever Pneumoia, and Home IV Antibiotics. Unless I improve significantly in the next day, I'll be staying home this weekend in bed.

Can't believe how sudden this cane on. Started 2 AM last night.

However as soon as I'm better we'll try to set up a meeting of the North Houston HUMMER club.

You can't do mud with those tires... Hummer is to heavy and those tires do not provide a high enough coeffiecent of friction to move the beast foward. Just down!! Post more pics, I'm just sick I could not go. (no pun intended) I wanna start planning the next trip as sooon as possible.

About the only tires that were working out there saturday were Boogers. Your friend Brian had alreay broken a winch cable pulling the Jeep out before we got there. Those are X-Terrains on mine, there ok on the rocks but about worthless in the sticky mud, although they did pretty well until we got high centered. We drug bottom for a good ways and they went until they would not reach the ground any longer. We had already went through deeper soup holes but they still had a fairly solid bottom to them, however I don't know how they will be after the guys running 44" tires get done chewing them up. The property owner said they have had over 6" rain last couple of months and it looked it.

Let us know when you wan't to go again drmiles and we will forsure go back as that soil should dry up fairly fast if it stops raining. The owners are drilling a well and getting ready to haul in some rock for a rock pile. Ron Carter HUMMER is planning a HUMMER happening there either in March or April. The owner said they are getting ready to put in a wash area and will use the runoff from that for a year round mud bog.
