More Info on Sand Driving Please

[MisterE]

Thanks to All for your input!

I am getting pretty excited. This will be my first trip to Silver Lake in a 4WD. When I was younger (about 10 years ago) I was really into Dune Buggies and we used to go crazy up at Silver Lake, greats shots of us getting 6-7' of air jumping over the hills. Big engines and RWD combines with little weight and cutter brakes was a ton of fun, but now I am trying to get prepared for a totally different kind of driving.

Before using the vacuum, try the leaf blower first. Open all four doors and rear hatch, remove floor mats, loose change, sunnies, etc... BLOW AWAY!!

You'll see a very satifying WOOSH! of fine dust esp from the top of the dash

Then the vacuum (some twigs, small rocks, etc, need to be brushed with vacuum hose to loosen), wipe down, and you're done with interior..

I popped this question over in the photos thread as well, I couldn't view the photos for some reason, but that thread was almost a year old. Anyway I remember the photo very well it was just before \ after the H3 came out and it was a yellow one at Silver Lake, this State Park require a really tall orange flag on the front of all vehicle so they can spot you cresting hills. Anyway I am trying to find out the best way to get the flag attached to the vehicle. I have the flag and it is a bottom mount (essentially it has a threaded bottom) didn't know if the owner \ tester of the that yellow H3 could give me some hints or if anyone else had some pointers.

Thanks!

Neocon has a mount on his, he put some info in a thread a while back. Just use a cb mount or an L-bracket and mount it to one of the tow hooks or brushguard.

Here is a quick release I got from a motorcycle shop. I just mounted it to a bracket behind the spare. The mount always stays on and the flag slides in and out.
