Dozer Recovery, New GOBI, Farm Wheelin

[Alan06SUT]

Well, I put on the new gobi and went out to our new farm this weekend. We had a blast, Literally! We shot the rifle (.308 Bolt Action w/ 10x4 scope), hung out with the horses, made some trails, got the h2 stuck in a ditch, recovered it with the dozer, tried burgers from two of the local joints, hit the mud hole, and installed a gate. All of this and we were home by 8pm so we didn't piss off the significant others! Here are some pics:

We cut the fence and were trying to make a path over to another field and didnt realize how saturated the ground was on the other side of the fence. Then, we realized the previous owner had made it into a drainage ditch and it was about three feet of solid mud on the other side of the berm! Had I known, I would have hit it with some speed and probably made it across. Instead, I was worried about hitting the trees on either side, and took it slow. as soon as I crested the berm, The front just sunk.

You couldn't even feel the Hummer attached to the dozer! The thing kicked ass! The new ones with the joystick controllers are so easy to operate. We were all playing comfortably on it within 10-15 minutes. Good thing it was out there or we would have been staying the night!

You can have a lifted one if the offer is right.

Alan, that looks like a blast! You're gonna have a great time out there. Get some rocks out there and forget Tellico.

Actually, we have a 240 ft hill that is rocky and steep. I plan to build some hummer trails all over that side of the property. We also have a large stream with a deep, rocky area to cross. All I need is a bunch of rednecks (not hard to find), and bam! I'll have my own Tellico!

Really, Its like a dream come true out there.

Great pics...how many acres did you buy? Does it have a house on it or just land? Being in real estate what kind of price per acre did you pay for it if you dont mind me asking.

Is that Tim's old truck?

[Alan06SUT]

No, its an 06 w/o the bling handles Tim had. And I belive his had the black interior.

No kidding. That terrain shows such promise. What a blast that'd be to doze out a trail. Make sure that obstacles are suited to the H2's wheelbase and not the Jeep's.

great pics!!!...you always post nice pics.... looks like a really fun place...!

do you you still like the cooper tires.?.they look good! thanks for the pictures..!

[Alan06SUT]

Thanks to all. Para-hopefully we'll have some folks out there soon! As for Hummer width trails, your darn right! That dozer couldn't discriminate against jeeps even if it wanted to. The blade is 8ft wide!

I love the tires. I had a 1/2" bolt stuck in one and discount tire replaced the whole tire for free! I'm glad I got the $40 no questions asked free replacement. Also they have quieted down after a few thousand miles.

! I knew that would draw a response out of you!! I'm sure they drove you crazy on that truck. I see you can't seem to get away from the bling handles, even after a mutitude of hummer swapping! You've just got to have the lux interior, don't you!

Hey Alan. Where is your land at??

[blindzebra]

your tires look very stiff. Did you air them out at all? I would think if they were at 20 psi g or t that your rears should have gotten enough traction, especially BTIing it, to push you through. Just a thought.

Alan knows how to wheel his truck, but he does forget to airdown sometimes.



Oh wait, that's BossHoss...
