First of all I wanted to say thank you to all that put this event on. It was great and far exceeded my expectations.

Even though I was not a customer of Classic they were nice enough to welcome me to the event and accept me as one of thier own and many thanks for thier hospitality and entertainment. Oddly my dealership (Sewell) has yet to invite me to one of thier events. (-->insert opinion here<---).

Moving forward: I have never been to Gilmer before and had always wanted to go as I had heard many great stories about thier trails. Well, I finally got to see them in person and was lucky enough to have some really great guides to follow and show me the ropes.

I want to say that some of these trails I would have N E V E R had the bawls to attempt before on my own gut feeling as they certinaly looked nasty.

The photos I am posting are pretty tame in appearance as most of the trails my brother was having too much fun holding the "ohh ****" handle to take enough good pics to do this trip justice.

I can not begin to tell you how impressed I was with the Hummers out on the trail. Honestly, I didnt think they would match the capabilities of my past Jeep and I can sit here and tell you now that I did some trails that I KNOW my Jeep would not have been able to make it down.

So alas, here are some of the pics and I hope you guys enjoy them, as I sure had a great time and am really looking forward to the next event.

Did you notice any problems (rubbing?) with the larger wheel/tire combo while you were out there?

I am sooo jealous http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif Those are great pictures! I imagine a little pucker factor was involved!! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

No, i have 0 problems with rubbing with this tire/wheel combo. I think I am at my max with and height though as if they were any taller or wider I would rub. Believe it or not the rears tuck nicely into the fenderwell.

I wouldnt get so angry to call them aholes - as you just bought the truck. LOL

In my case I was like in the first 25 to purchase at my dealership (full sticker) when came out and this was 6 months ago..
