Not trying to get my panties wadded up but when people start spouting off about something that we poured alot time and hard work into it just like getting a snuggy. As far as the tie rods, yes they are production parts. Robbie Gordons Dakar H3 is nothing more than a Trophy Truck with a bad representation of a H3 skin. Hell it's not even 4 wheel drive.
On the H2 SUT.
As per the rules, spring rates are open and since we weigh about 700 pounds more than production trucks and see alot more rough terrain at alot higher speeds it was an obvious choice to up the rates. The front t-bars are actually off the shelf production 1 ton production springs. The rears are aftermarket. The shocks are also open in both sanctioning bodies. We run 4 inch bypass shocks with remote resevoirs which weigh about 50-60 pounds each.
We prerun and chase in completely stock H2s and H3s with the only mods being FOX shocks which you could purchase through Chad Hall at Winkle Hummer in Reno.
Okay I'll get off my
now and get back to prepping Rod's and Chad's trucks for the upcoming 40th running of the Baja 500. Visit rodhallracing.com to get up to the minute news of the race and also GPS tracking of the entire race. Sure would like to see all of the Hummer owners participate in our blog on race day.
