Greeting and salutations.

I just wanted to introduce myself and thank you guys for all the great info (and the good natured BS) contained in this forum. I?ve been lurking about this and several other forums since I got my H3 back in August and have benefited greatly from all your input regarding mods, accessories and mechanical issues. Hopefully I?ll have something of value to contribute in the coming months/years.

I?ve been four wheeling since 1978, primarily in the black gumbo mud of North Central Texas. I?ve spent a lot of time playing in the Trinity River bottoms, various lakes and miscellaneous local stock ponds and creeks. (Watch out for the ?Stank Mud?) I?ve done a little hill climbing (think gravel quarries) but no serious rock crawling or mountain trails. For the latter, I?ll just have to live it vicariously through you guys.

Now for the H3.

Standard base model with a 05/2006 build date

KATZKIN leather upgrade -- Ebony/Morocco
Stock rims and tires.

Future plans.
