Hey guys...
This thread is supposed to be about my winch going up in flames....NOT HummerMan!!
HummerMan...there was a guy in my college fraternity that we called SillyPudd. He was the clown, the goof and we incessantly teased the heck out of him. The thing is.....he was still part of the group and we liked him just the same.
Not for better, but certainly for worse...you've fallen into a SillyTrap and emerged the whippin' boy for a few of the rough-edged boys on the forum. But there's good reason: some of your antics, claims, representations, accusations, implications and...shall we say "unique" way in which you choose to express yourself...have brought this upon you. HummerMan is what HummerMan does.
You are not the most hated person on the forum nor should you let it get to you. Just mellow out and try to fly right. Alrighty then.
Phil,
Yeah...you're right. The guy (who may read this forum and I may see again...hint,hint) was just another H2 owner who no longer has his H2. He sold me his roof-rack, GPS, PIAA lights, Warn Winch and many other accessories for an amazingly low price...I'm still well ahead. Course...when I realized the GPS software was missing and asked him if he had it...his response was just two words: Buyer Beware.
He has seen the pics and has not yet contacted me. In our phone conversation he didn't convey any sense of concern nor apologize to me....just denied that he could have wired the thing wrong. When I said "goodbye" to him...he said nothing and merely hung-up the phone.
As I figure...he didn't do it intentionally and his lack of proper social grace in accepting responsibility and/or apologizing reflects entirely upon his character....or lack thereof.
Again..I just never imagined the wiring was anything less then factory. What's more, the winch worked for both us a long time before the paint wore away and shorted out. Bizarre thing....the only component on the whole vehicle that has no fuse protection!
