Yep!
Two words of advice:
Watch the ingress angle.. At the Humer Happening we were going down a tall hill into a mud pit, then immediately up another tall hill. You needed lots of speed, the H2'd did fine, but my H3 nose plowed a bit (look at the D rings). Scrated up the lower bumper.
Watch debris in wheel wells, something cracked my driver side front wheel weel.
Other then that, have a blast..you'll go everywhere the H2s do!!

Hey, Mister, mister, thanks for the feedback...
Did you do any preliminary breakin time with your H3 to break it in. I have not stressed the system yet.

Break in:
Get in, turn key, give'r hell ;-)
Actually it was about 2 weeks old when I took it, there were two other H3's that were about the same age.
Yeah, I was a bit ticked about the wheel well. It is a like 1/8" thick plastic, and yes stapled into place. Guess at least it won't rust!
I just picked it up from the dealer and it is fixed up (they did warranty it, so that was cool).

Why thank you

Great pics, looks like a blast.

H3H, you get my vote for off-road picture of the month. I thought I was the only one crazy enough to do water that deep. Have you extended your transmission vent tube? Kinda eerie when you feel it start to float for a second or two, isn't it? THAT'S WHAT HUMMERS ARE MADE TO DO!!! Geez, that looks like it was fun!

Thanks Jim
It was fun let me tell you, I was suprised how EASILY I made it through the muck, even with the not-so-agressive duelers. When does the snorkel come out for the H3 ;P
Tell me more about the transmission vent tube? What things do I need to look out for when I deep-water ford? |
