Hummer's home from Rubber Duck!
Got a call yesterday morning from the trucker bringing my wagon back from Rubber Duck saying he would be at my shop in two hrs-I hadn't seen the truck in a month and I was EXCITED!! I was checking out the front door about every 15 min. until it finally rolled in and it looked incredible! Travis did a great job, and considering the amount of stuff I threw at him to do I expected a few things to be off a little or need to have the kinks worked out when it hit the ground-not so!
I had him do the cool kit, suspension lift and HD springs, upgraded wategate, HP exhaust, HP PCM, HD idler-pitman, upgraded cooling fan, R-Blox the doghouse, Auburn lockers, center the front diff and put in HD half shafts, 17" wheels and new MTR's, Centramatic wheel balancers, fix the CTIS, add the full undercarriage protection, new stereo, amp, and speakers, rework the Warn winch and put a synthetic line and fairlead on it, fix the front brush bar, put the Rock Guard sliders on, hood lift kit, replace some missing protection panels under the hood, change out the stock steering wheel, replace a bunch of small items under in and on it, and a complete C service. I am SURE I am forgetting something, but that was the bulk of it. I put a 100 mi. on it yesterday and of course had to take it out back here at the farm and try it all out in the snow we were having yesterday and it all worked 100%. Travis shot me a great deal on the package and as some of you know I was on the fence about sinking a bunch of money into this old ('96) dog, but it having the sentimental value to me that it does, and wanting to really use it I am SO GLAD that I spent the money! It is like a completely different truck and I will definitely enjoy wheeling it this year!
For those of you who pointed me to Rubber Duck-thank you! For those of you thinking of taking your truck to Rubber Duck or purchasing items from them-do it. I have a few exotics, a custom motorcycle, and this Hummer, and I have never been treated as well or had as great an experience as I have had with Rubber Duck. There have been a few that have come close, but this is the only transaction in the automotive realm that hasn't left even the slightest bit of regret!!
Thanks again Travis!

Re: Hummer's home from Rubber Duck!
I never seem to have the best luck getting things posted up on forums-if someone could help me out I could email them pics if they could post them!! I just spent $20.00 at the wand wash getting all of the grime off of it from yesterday's "test drive"

Re: Hummer's home from Rubber Duck!
Congrats Bullsnake. I'm glad to hear that you are happy with the end result. I was talking to Travis a while back and asked him if you had sent your truck down there. When he said yes, and proceeded to list off all the stuff you chose to add my eyes almost popped out of my head. You've turned your truck in to one hell of a monster. If you want send me the pics @ ssgharkness020147@yahoo.com and I'll post them up for you.
