View Full Version : Rod Halls Elko Hummer Roundup
Here are a few pics I took at the Elko Hummer Roundup put together by Rod Hall, AM General, and General Motors.
Post pics if you were there!
It was fun to meet everyone, and even though it was my first trip to Elko, Nevada, I thought it was great! Everyone in town was coming to the convention center to get a look at all the Hummers. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Cort who is leading that line in the H1 2 door is a cool guy...I followed him at about 80 mph down a 8 mile dirt road once, and ended up breaking a tie rod http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Sweet pics, Rox. I'll add some when I get a chance.http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
Churchie, I chased Cort down the dusty roads, too. No breakage for me. I could barely see most of the timehttp://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif Cort was great. What a nice guy. I ran right behind him on Merritt & Spruce. Can't wait for next year.http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Cort was the guy who led our run up Merritt, he was in a White Alpha Wagon. The tail gunner said the guy driving with Cort was the "top guy" at AM General. I wasn't sure if he was filling me full of ****, but I thought someone could verify that story?

I was there. Do you have a black H3? I saw two gals drive by me in an H3 and never saw it again. The Lone Mtn trail was closed so we were having coffee at the convention center out in the parking lot.

Welcome to Nevada! While you guys were there, there was another bunch of Hummers down the road in Ely on the old Pony Express trail.
Hopefully you all had enough breeze to clear the air in front of you. Talc sand at 80 MPH without a breeze is a handful!
If you haven't already, you might want to shoot your air filter with compressed air. That fine sand will clog it up quick.
How 'bout this setup? SWEET!

No breeze. We couldn't believe there wasn't any wind at all in the desert. It was awesome weather! And yes, the dust was really bad, especially if you were in the back of the line. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

This was the Light Force guys rig. It's the only pic I got. We did a night run and got to see how they worked. The two on the outside are HID lights. I turned my PIAA 580's on next to them, and to be honest, I didn't notice a huge difference. Theirs were aimed higher so it was hard to get a good reference. I do like the bulletproof cover though. In fact, I broke one of my light covers the next day.
DRTYFN
10-09-2005, 01:00 PM
I thought those guys did a piss poor job of aiming their lights. Plus, they didn't focus them properly or use the spreader lenses. The light output could have easily been much more impressive with those lights.

Those lights can be bad ass if used properly....The guys form HUMMER STEEL turned their's on and they were awsome.....I also like the fact you can get the covers tinted all differently for different conditions
They were switching lenses all the time, but it was still hard to tell if you weren't in the truck with them. I like the fact that you can change from a spreader lense to a yellow or blue lense if you need to. And I like the fact they were really strong. He dropped one on the cement and it was fine.
