And where are your pictures? Lots of mouth and nothing to back it up. What a boring pussy you've proven to be. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Boring enough to get your attention. Must be really boring at your compound.

You are all nice in private with you sweet messages, but need to be a bit of a bully in front of the "guys"? You would think a H2 would be enough to make up for that short dick syndrome you got going on over there in Oregon.

And still no pictures.

Speaking of trailer park, using a $2.00 can of spray on my $60,000 vehicle........... that makes sense. The hubs are fine just the way they are.

You should be able to clear the H1 obstacles if you approach at an angle and then turn hard into the ledge. If you air those MTR's down to 12-15psi they will practically cling to the rock/concrete and pull you right up. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>When I go back I am going to try the H1 side. The course is pretty narrow and in some places it might be hard to get at a good angle.

If you'll notice, every time I tried the approach/departure pit I dragged the fairlead or part of the front bumper. I stayed on the concrete part but tried the most severe angle I could and it still dragged. So the Warn bumper takes just a little off of the angle. I'll post the video and you should be able to hear the bumper fairlead being pushed through the concrete.

Paragon...

Do you happen to know what your "Z" height is? I am curious to know how much the front of H2 setteled down after the winch and bumper were installed.

Thanks,
Don

SteveR got the front of his truck on a 42" log. But he needed to approach it at 45 degrees ( think that is the number he used ). Probably needed more room than you have. Wish I had the pic.

Don <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Don, I'll get the tech to measure before and after. I am going to get him to crank a round or two on the torsion bars and then re-align. It will probably be next week, though.

Here is a link from a video from outside the vehicle while I went around the test track. It's a large file but in a higher resolution and about 6 minutes long. I'll post the same thing from the dash cam inside in a few minutes.

Hummer Off-road Track

Here is a link to the second video. It's from the dashcam inside the truck.

Hummer Off-road track from Dashcam

I think they need to add some pregressive steps(Like at Devils Den), and a few logs in a row spread out so it's be a little closer to real-life off roading.
Why don't they just ask us to design the next one for them, so it's be done right!
Does anyone have the home # to Mr. Batchelor, I need to have a talk with him about out track here in S.A.

DASHCAM? now i'm really curious. Tell me about your dash cam. I really need one those before Moab.

You use the tripod mount on your vid camera to mount it to something called a "sticky pod". Mine is triangular in shape and rides on the center of the dash perfectly. Also, you can use the suction cups to "stick" the camera outside on a fender or something. You use a safety cord tied to it in case it comes "unstuck" so it won't hit the ground, but I can't find mine, so the camera just rides around on my dash all of the time. I have it there handy in case I catch anything worth videoing around town.

You can find them here: http://www.stickypod.com

Great video!!! I'm so jealous.
I'm looking for a piece of property to buy so I can put in my own 4x4 playground.

It would have been a total cakewalk if you'd have aired those MTR's down.

I know you might be joking but the test tracks are supposed to be close copies of the AMG test track.

great pictures paragon. I'm planning on taking my H2 to RogersDabbs in a couple of weeks to get a few minor things checked out. But I have to drive on that test track. So will they let anyone do it with their own or does someone have to drive you around. I have the 37"MTR's but my winch isn't nicely integrated into the bumper (by the way where did you get that).
I really want to drive that course and wouldn't be happy if I had to let someone else drive me.

Jigga,

I have no idea about getting to drive on the track. From what others have said on here, they really aren't too keen on it for liability reasons. I do know that they are going to have an open house/hummer happening sort of thing and people will get to drive.

Let me know when you're coming and I'll meet you out there.

Just got an email that Bellevue Hummer in Washington just opened their test track? Has anyone tried it yet? Kacyk? Anybody know if we can run our own vehicles through? I hear McCann Hummer is opening this month also...

jessup hummer in cathedral city (palm springs) has their track open too. havent tried it yet. looks fun but short

The dealership in Buffalo is building one now but is taking forever.

for those who dont have a test tarck at you HUMMER dealer, you could always run over the one at you local Range Rover Dealer, and by run over, i mean run over
