That's lame!! (on their part) Who would have thought that the tow hooks were put on at the stealership.

Thank you all for the warm welcome and the comments.
I think once the fires are over and the whole thing settles down we should definitely have a run somewhere nice.

I agree about the tow hooks, they should have come from the factory.
Hopefully I can get a free spare tire cover out of the whole mess when I go back for the hooks.

Oh yeah how do you guys wash your Hummers? Just hose them down or do you take the time to hand wash and wax?

I know it is a labor of love hand washing and waxing my GTI but the truck is a lot bigger

Peace

aaah the love of fine german automobiles. I think I spend more time waxing my audi then myself. Recently acquired a corrado, so it will get the same treatment.

H3 gets driven through the gas station washer thats free with every fill up. They look better with dirt on them anyway and I think the truck is happier too when shes dirty. Besides I am usully out playing in the dirt every weekend anyway, so it would be a waste of time. I try to mostly keep the undercarriage clean and lubed. Leather and interior is treated and cleaned all the time too.

We can camp up at Gorman, so we should plan for late November, early December trip. I love the cold weather. Decent beginner to intermediate trails too.

hehe I definitely love the German autos with all my heart
but they do not take the bumps and potholes and rough terrain like a Hummer

stagger do you post on vortex or fourtitude? I recognize that user name from other forums.

I gotta find some spots close to L.A. that I can have some fun in the truck at and learn how to drive it offroad

I am about to go hose the H3 down after I do a mini wash & wax on my GTI

Peace!
