3 Wheel Drive

Last big obstacle of the weekend, had a broken halfshaft and didn't know it.

I can't pull these up. How long do they take to download?

Axleman 01-16-2004 10:02 PM

They should stream. However I have the number of connections limited to three, so it doesn't kill my bandwidth too bad... maybe that is the problem. It's working here, but I am inside the network.

ok, I got one to work. I love short clips of obstacles. Very informative.

Buckeye Hummer 01-16-2004 10:08 PM

Maybe it's me but I could only get one to work. Try to get them up. I'm sure people here will be very interested in seeing them.

I'll try later.

Axleman 01-16-2004 10:10 PM

I am about to go home now, so I will try at home and see what happens. I have never set up a streaming media server before.

WOW! thanks for the pictures. Amazing. Keep them coming.

Axleman 01-16-2004 10:47 PM

Glad you are enjoying them. Hope this helps you make up your mind about getting an H1. No offense to the H2s, but most of these trails will destroy an H2 without a good lift and beefy tie rods.

"most of these trails will destroy an H2 without a good lift and beefy tie rods." I was thinking about the H2 when I was looking at your H1s in water pictures. I am not sure about the lift or tie rod, but the depth.

They came up O.K for me - - thanks! Great clips.

MAC,
Depth would have been somewhat of an issue, but the undercarriage would have been a bigger issue. My rocker panels slammed down on big rocks so hard in places I thought I was going to lose a filling or two! I'm glad my old truck has the steel rocker panels vs. aluminum. We did end up with about 6" or so of water in the floorboards. H2 guys would have had to had scuba gear while changing tie rods.

On your 3 axle vid, it's cool how you guys respond "NO!" in unison. Shows awareness in your team work. Envious. Also love the roar of the engine as it muscled it's way up the river.

Mickey (the spotter in the 3 axle video) REALLY knows the terrain (he lives there) and he will get you through an obstacle if you watch him. He is probably one of the best H1 offroaders out there. Any of you that can make the NHC Kinzalow Trails event in May would not be disappointed!

My experience has show that many young kids can spot an H1 a mile away. And they know what it is. The parents usually don't. High School Kids know the difference between and H1 and H2 (after they discover the prices) and they favor the H1... and would like to have one............... remember those days........ when you were invinceable........



<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by MAC:
In the Hummer factory magazines, there were photos of the gatherings of H1s. I noticed most H1 owners are old bald fat people. Is that the case? H1 owners are older? does H1 make you go bald and fat? does it make you look older?

As we all know kids love and crazy about H2, those hip-hop or sports-stars, fair to say H2 is youthful. When young people talk about Hummer, they pretty much are talking about H2 exclusively. I never had an auto kids envy and get excited about. Kids don't get excited about S500, S600, SL or Jaguar. I actually love that youthful attraction, trying to connect with my teenagers. I don't sense the same kind of excitement nor attraction toward H1. Is H1 an old people's automobile?

Personally when I see a black H1, I couldn't take my eyes off it, while pretending I am not looking. Generally black color ones only. It is getting harder and harder to see a H1 these days, used to be daily.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Rick-H1 Guy 02-01-2004 10:55 PM

Old, my posterior, (Cleaned up for the baby H2 ears), I'd say that of all of the older H1 owners I've met most are the most active and fun people you can hang with. I'd love to see a "2" going down that river. (Oh my god I might get mud on my floor mats...) As one (by years) bald headed fat guy, I resemble that remark, however just follow me someday and tell me I'm old...

HAVE FUN!

Psycho with H1, I mean really don't try and follow me! (Unless you want to have fun and bend metal)

What's this Elcova Newbie stuff?
