Hello All,
Its been a busy week of editing... and the editing is about 95% done. I am still waiting on one or two video tapes to tricle in... but its very presentable.
Its a big boy... a full 60 minutes. Carefully edited to kill the dull stuff.
I am ready to burn it into a DVD complete with menus and so forth.
Copies will be available to anyone that wants one.
This has shaped up to be a damn good video recap of the day.
Does anyone know where we might host it online?

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Bittorrents </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
BitTorrent
Torrent sharing is about "swarming and tracking", where users download many small bits from many different sources at once. Because this format compensates for bottleneck points, it is actually faster than downloading a large file from a single source.
“Swarming” is about splitting large files into hundreds of smaller “bits”, and then sharing those bits across a “swarm” of dozens of linked users.
“Tracking” is when specific servers help swarm users find each other.
Swarm members use special Torrent client software to upload, download, and reconstruct the many file bits into complete usable files.
Special .torrent text files act as pointers during this whole process, helping users find other users to swarm with, and enforcing quality control on all shared files.

I think they also make them for Jeeps ( magnets )but I haven't seen any. Both of our Rubi's have seriously striped paint...The Ice storm last year destroyed the paint but it made it much easier to hit tougher stuff with the "newness" worn off- literally...
Had a total blast Ol' hiker- "I don't know what happened, I wasn't paying attention" - "That is what happened!!!" I am still laughing at that!
I have been looking around and did notice some anti Hummer comments as well as the relationship of H2 to income and the Jeep as a poor mans Hummer...That stuff really makes me laugh!!!
I think I'd have to pass on the H3- it reminds me of an xterra and I don't really like the looks of the new Grand Cherokee...
It will be an H2 or an Unlimited Rubicon in Orange that I will have lifted 4.5"- this will just fit into the garage.My Other Rubi is a 3.5" lift and I have about 2" to spare ( on 33's) .If I go with the Unlimited, it will be 35's...Lauren is shooting for the Unlimited.( I really want a Lotus Elise but it isn't really practical in the Poconos ).
My garage is only 80" tall...I could stack 2 Loti in there and still have room!
Thanks all for the welcome- we are goning to look at H2's and unlimited's today...
Pic of Jeepers wheeling in my back yard- lots of rocks to practice on and note the orange unlimited...

Gosh, you guys warm my heart. And to think that I was pulling my stitches out while you guys were saying such warm and fuzzy things...
Not to everyone downlaoding right now... We just caught a small spelling error and an improper font kern which we fixed. Really minor bugs... but we fixed'em anyway.
New version of video compiling now... will post torrent and link soon. So if you haven't started pulling the last torrent, you might want to wait a couple hours to get started. I'll have the spelling corrected one up by then.

I think that as hummer owners we have a moral obligation to help Damageinc find a Hummer deal he just can't say no to... regardless of the garage issue 
Damage, you've wheeled with us, you're coming back to do it again, and you are most certainly getting a copy of the video.
A truck is a truck... and we're thrilled you are here.
The bumper is fixed. I am back from the hospital, the stiches come out tomorrow. So I guess you could say fixing it was "easy".
This week I was inspired, so I installed a 1000watt inverter, ordered a winch package, a dual battery setup, installed a microwave for Hong, and bought a set of magnetic sideguards.
Supercharger is getting installed the week after labor day.
Video will be out once I get Chris footage. He shot some AWESOME stuff!!!!

Any help seeding this file will be greatly appreciated!!!

Three thoughts:
1) Not to upset you, but it look like the shopping carts at the mall have been very unkind to your rig and scratched the bumper all to hell... Spend less time at mall.
2) I don't see a spot for stick on chrome "HUMMER" letters. This is a prtoblem because without them, people might think I am driving a Toyota.
3) (on a serious note) It looks really solid and I can't wait to learn more about it!!
Charles
What was this thread about... oh.... who cares it's a awesome bumper!

No regret on the attempt Joe. So smile.
I was literally withing about an inch of clearance of making it.
If everytime someone told me that I couldn't do something I listened, I wouldn't have my H2.
This week I bought a 12k Hydraulic winch and some other goodies.
This isn't over. I'm going back.

I'm interested in the magnetic side guards, but worried that the fine sand might work under them and end up being more damage to the paint than protection!? Are my fears unfounded? Have you guys used them with good success?

Hello all...
I hope not to offend any of you by posting on this thread and "invading" your H2 forum...If I have, I apologize and will exit gracefully!
I heard about this video you are coming out with and I am interested in getting a copy...Can I send you a few bucks to get one?
Oh and I forgot to introduce myself: I am the guy that was on Voodoo with you- yep a lowly jeeper! I didn't come here to razz anyone but just to say hello to you all, ask for a copy of the video that you are making and to see if I could tag along on your next outing- to see if you wanted to finish Voodoo!I almost traded in my little Rubicon for a H2 today but it won't fit into my garage ( not tall enough ) so I am considering trading it in for an orange Rubicon Unlimited to keep the other Rubi company in addition to not having the heart to do it...
I hope your bumper is doing well ( gotta love those beauty marks! )...
Ol' Hiker from PAP said the video is due out soon so I thought that I would try to get a copy...Please let me know if I could, I'd appreciate it and would like to play it at our next offroading outing...The Jeep crowd would get a kick out of it, as I would.
I had to post a Jeep pic avatar in fun...

The Aug 20 Paragon Video is DONE!!!
With special thanks to Chris and everyone who sent in pictures and video footage.
The final version is compiling and I think bug free.
There is 61+ minutes of very carefully selected and edited video. I have laid in some music at a few key spots. If you are looking for a video to show people you know what its like to go wheel your hummer... you probably need this video.
Everyone is welcome to have a copy and pass it along for non-commercial use.
The final edition of the movie will compile overnight. Tomorrow I will burn a DVD complete with menus and extras. Anyone who wants a copy will be able to get it in 1 of three ways:
1) You will be able to download it off the net in low resolution. Several download site offers have been made. I'll work with these generous folks and post links.
2) I will post and seed both high & low resolution Bittorrents that you can view on your PC or burn to DVD at FULL RESOLUTION (worth the hassle).
3) I will mail out DVD's to anyone who asks for a copy.
Next progress update will be tomorrow night. DVD's, bitorrents, and hyperlinks should be available.
Thanks to everyone who helped. This has come out way cooler than I hoped.
Charles

Alec - YOUR ARE A GENIOUS... You have pointed out that the three of us represent a "Group Buy" on rear bumpers!
I think we should band together and get someone to finally make an integrated rear winch bumper.
Vendors are you listening? Check book open...
