Despite all the rain we had, the North Texas Hummerteam still went out to this hill country to tackle some very wet slippery brutal terrain.

Here is a short video clip to give you an idea of how slippery it was. This is a little baby jeep with XTerrain sliding down this hill.
Slippery Hill Video Clip

My Hummer with it's all terrains and all the extra weight slid the entire course of this hill. It was like being on a sled. Major ass puckers.

Here is another good video clip of Sam going up this muddy ledge. Sam has a 4" lift and this side slope didn't seem to bother.
This video clip is sweet!
Sam vs. the Ledge Video Clip

Pictures just can't capture the actions like these video's can, but for whatever reason, that was the best of the video. We just didn't shoot much. Too busy taking picutres, spotting, or driving I guess.

No offroad trip of mine would be complete without me needlessly gunning it through some mud.

Here is that first slippery hill from the Video Clip.

Sam from Adventureteam.com on the same hill. He actually started to go sideways and his ass end was going to nail a tree. The mud was slick enough that I actually football blocked his back end and moved it into the rut so he could ride the hill down.

Me on the same hill.

Step down.

Detonate,

That video of Sam is sweet!! Has he had any problems with his lift and does he four-wheel very much? He looks pretty fearless in that clip. More video please!!!

Thanks,

Coming down.

Don coming up the side of the ledge Sam took in the video.

Me using my bumpers as a battering ram on this embankment.

Very Narrow!

Lots of people stood around watching the Hummers take this hill. Before we went up I heard a few of them laughing saying we'd never make it.

I didn't actually get to here them eat there words, but a lot of them ended up following us over to Jeep Eater, which is a monster hill.

same hill.

Same hill..

same hill...

same....

Going down Jeep Eater.

More of Jeep Eater. These pictures do some decent justice to this climb. When you slap the Hummer in the picture, everything just looks tiny, but the obstacle is no less difficult.

more......

me

I was totally surprised that Jennifer came out of her shell and wheel'd the hell out of her H2 this weekend!

I tried for about 15 minutes to get up Jeep Eater. It's been done in an H2 before, but it was completely different today with all the mud and slime.

That ledge that is seen in the first shots was where we couldn't get over. Without a doubt I could have done it with a front locker. The one front wheel that had traction never got enough power to get me over it.

so close

This side was worse than the other.

I tried to put my passanger side on the raised dry part of the trail, but the driver side rut was so deep that I could literally tough the ground through the window, this picture shows about 1/2 as sideways as I got right after this was taken.

Ok, well that is all the photos and video I really have that's worth a ****, I guess.

Hopefully Kyle (FrgMstr), in the Black H2 got some more good shots to post.

Sweet pics!!! Bet the hole in the last pic isn't very friendly to Jeeps after you guys got done with it.

Cool pics. I wish we had some mud, even a little wet sand would be nice. Even during the rainy season it's bone dry.

Great Shots Detonate. I will have to be sure to hook up for your next outing to that place when I get back down to SA. Did you make it out ok where you were using the bumpers for the battering ram?

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I brought out the winch for that one.

When we first got to it I really didn't think we had a chance of getting over it. The Jeep has front and rear lockers and got nowhere quick on that. Then Sam tried for several minutes with no luck, and the jeep wasn't even able to winch him out.

So then we decided to let me get to it, winch myself out, then my stronger winch would then be able to pull Sam through it.

So I made maybe one or two attempts and then just winched out.

Then you saw the video of Sam just barreling through it the second time.

Black H2<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>They love the lift. The truck does just fine off-road, and I guess Sam has a bit of experience off-road.

He is certainly fearless, and has already rolled an H2 once.

Detonate,

Great pics and video!!! Your rig looks great Have you thought about adding 37"s to your truck? They make a huge difference and they would look great

Thanks,

37's are certainly on "the list", but at the moment I can't find any 37" MT/R's for sale.

I've decided that I can wait until Discount Tire gets more of them in stock.
