Hello H3ers
I purchased my Hummer H3 last month in San Antonio and began surfing the web looking for aftermarket products. Consequently, I stumbled upon this discussion board and began reading the very informative tech threads included on site. It looked like a good community to belong to so decided to jump right in. I am very excited about this site and the information it contains for new Hummer owners. Currently, I am attempting to equip my H3 for storm chasing this spring in the panhandle of Texas. This includes installation of radio gear, laptop, navigation etc. I would be especially interested in getting to know other avid CBers, Amateur Radio Operators or others with similar interests in storm chasing as well as learn tips and tricks from veteran H3 owners. Thanks to all for providing this site and information.

Re: Hello H3ers
Welcome to the forum. You will, as I'm sure have already seen, that there is no better place on the web for obtaining useful and knowlegdable info about Hummers in general, and the H3 in particular.
Again Welcome.

Re: Hello H3ers
wow, i guess yours would be the first Hummer Storm Chaser, well at least that I have heard of. pretty cool. now that I think of it there has to be an H1 in this type of work. Anyway you might be the first H3 Storm Chaser.  by the way, by storm chaser do you mean just big storms or are you also going after tornadoes and hurricanes?
post pics of the H3 in the eye of a tornado, that be way cool!  |

Re: Hello H3ers
Thanks for the welcome and the humor. I will get back to you on the tornado rating  . I am just beginning this hobby so I have no idea what I am in for, but weather has always intriqued me and this is something I have always wanted to do. Storm chasing seems to be based solely on luck and being at the right place, at the right time. Especially catching a tornado in action which happens seldom even for the experienced storm chaser. But, it will give me a reason for excursions in my H3 and I love messing with radio, electronics and film. It should make for a pretty unusual vehicle once complete. |

Re: Hello H3ers
Being from Florida, you sound as though you speak from experience. I don't think I would want to ride a hurricane out in any vehicle. Think I will just concentrate on the panhandle for now.

No one chassis Hurricanes? Really?
Tell that to the brave men and women of the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron; aka Hurrican Hunters.

Not a great one!
Just correcting a statement with the phrase, "no one." When there are some who do.

Re: Hello H3ers
I will have to admit that we have been pretty fortunate in Texas. Florida has really had a bout with it. Key West seems to be the luckiest place in Florida. They haven't really been hit, have they?

Re: Hello H3ers
Welcome, from another SATX H3. Just what are you going to do when you catch a tornado, .. and more impotantly, where are you going to keep it?
LOL

Thanks westhillsat for the welcome..
TXFireman. I guess it will just stay in the film canister or on digital format when I finally catch one. LOL
Hey, I am looking to either join a preexisting club or maybe start one. Do you know of any H2 or H3ers in the SATX area that be interested in a few local excursions? Seems that part of the fun may be in the camaraderie. Back in the late 70's I used to belong to a van club and we used to have lots of fun on outings. I can imagine what fun it would be having 4x4 capability. I was hoping I would run into someone from SA on this board. I thought about calling Ken Batchelor Caddilac-Hummer and see if they knew of anything happening or folks I could contact. I see from your profile that you bought your H3 there as well.

Funny.. I have to respect all 1st responders though, especially here in San Antonio. TXFireman PMed me and mentioned that particular club the other day. Been busy with some upgrades on my H3 and will post some pics of my navigation, radio and vehicle lettering soon. I haven't gotten around to checking out the club. Checking it out now. Thanks much, Paragon.. |
