Well, an H2 was supposed to show but she was afraid I was going to actually leave her stuck in the mud and cancelled so we had 3 H1's only for this trip. We tried all kinds of really stupid things to push our Hummers to the limit.

Enjoy: We'll start with our Hummer Poster Child Shot.

Off camber steep descent. Stupid Hummer Trick #1

We don't cross water, we stay in it.

This one took a little juice to get over with the Hummer's long wheelbase. A little reverse and lots of gas and wham we're there.

No need for a lev-o-gauge on this one. I had it buried at the max 45 line. This slope was easily 65 degrees. It is the first time I've been really scared of rolling. When asked to do it again, I said hell no. On approach from the top you can't see anything but sky. If you don't step on the gas half way down you run the risk of a roll with your foot on the break. (thanks Craig for the coaching on the way down. Boulders don't scare me 65 degrees does.

Lil' Mud Cross

Tried to plow mud here, didn't work.

Brings back memorys! We used to go up there every night in 81 & 82. So how many winchs did it take to get the H1 out of the suction cup mud?

Cranky,

Just one yank from Craig in the Red H1, no winch needed. I did, however, recover a new silverado that had been stuck for about 3 hours. He broke his transfer case. It took my 12,000 pound winch (my h1 anchored to blue h1)AND Craigs winch to pull him out. He was REALLY stuck but thankful we came along. I'm still waiting for those pics from Kevin. They are pretty funny.

Awesome pictures! That looks like a perfect place to go off-roading.

Thanks for taking the time and effort to post 'em.

Once again, you've got some GREAT pics!! Thanks Buck!!
Makes me start daydreaming about the Duramax H1 that'll be available in the fall of 04.

Hummers are torque monsters. They'll climb almost anything effortlessly. Who said approach and departure angles aren't important?
