Babhumv saved the day, when the next morning, he pulled my console out and fiddled with the module. It snapped back in and we were in business. I almost had to turn around and go home.

Thanks Babe, I don't know what I would have done without you, 'cept cry myself a river.:D



Sweet , david to the rescue , im glad he will be in moab with us :D :cool:

Re: H3's on the Rubicon
 
Nothing like getting the bullocks out and just doing your own thing. What's the sense in owning a Hummer if your affraid to drive it?

I'm not saying get stupid, I'm saying do it, but do it wise.

So what if your Hummer comes out with a few scars?

Looks like you folks did it wise and have the scars to prove it!!

I can't wait to take my Hummer of road.... I did already in a light way, I wanna get in the nitty gritty myself.

Re: H3's on the Rubicon
 
Actully, I love the "new" look of the B13 mobile. I'm sure I'll get tired of the stripes after a while and get it fixed. Honestly I like it though. My Hummer looks like it's being used for it's purpose. I noticed a lot of heads turning on my way to work today.

No use fixing it before Moab. Probably during the fall sometime I will get it taken care of. I'm in no big hurry to fix cosmetics.

It doesn't matter because you do - and so do we.

Big ups(like my street slang?;)) for all of our 3bies that made the Rubi' Run 2K6. So proud of you guys. Great pictures. Any of Walker Hill? Looking forward to seeing BAB's pics.

I can't wait to run it again in October.

Wow!!!!!!!!!! I just read the whole thread. Congrats guys! Those are some great pics and some excellent wheeling by you all! Glad to see you all made it through with minimal damage.

It's too bad Neo didn't have another set of locks to commemorate the event! :D

This thread certainly makes the 25 hour drive seem a little more palatable! ;) :D

No, Just 4 H3's 2 Toys and 1 Bronc. The Bronc and Toys were built for the trail, made us look like we were standing still. Sometimes we were. On Sunday an hour after leaving camp, I could still see the fire pit in the rear view mirror.

As for H2's They just might be too wide for some parts of the trail. They would have ended up with a lot of side damage.

Those bags you seeing hanging from our spares were empty when handed to us, and full when we exited the trail! We made a point that every time we stopped we picked up as much trash as we could. The trail is pretty litter free. Most people on the trail want to keep it open, so they seem to be picking up after themselves. It was nice to see.
