Re: H3's on the Rubicon
Great pictures, wish I was there, however how do you guys trash your rides like that and seem like its no biggy? Wow Id be pissed maybe in a few months Ill get over the newness but the cost of repairing those H3's wont be cheap!  Do you not repair them?
Overall though I know you guys experienced some serious offroading what is the absolute conclusion to the H3's abilities, is it the ultimate 4x4 capable of most things? Did you learn things that need to be changed? How was the alignment after all that wheeling on the way home? What are you going to change now to make it even better? I know that a winch is in my future probably front and rear, or at least one on the front permanent and a mobile one just in case.
You guys had a ball Id bet, I could feel the fun looking at the photos! Maybe next time Ill trek down from Arizona to join you all if I can get my wifes agreement, shes not a big 4x4 type since I rolled a 93 Bronco about 7 years ago with her in it, busted front and rear drivelines! Learned you cant spin the tires in 4 low that day  That killed 4 wheeling for her, at least in any situation that could cause it to happen again. More photos please I know you all got em, the sunsets are beautiful there!
If you didnt want to take the chance of destroying your H3 could you still follow the caravan and just skip out on the really rough/rock rash stuff?

Re: H3's on the Rubicon
I didn't really take any pics of the carnage specfically, but heres a couple that shows some of it.
Bully13's new pinstriping care of H2 Bully. We were wondering when this happened and then I spotted a big rock on the way out on Sunday that had some nice Superior Blue paint on it.

Re: H3's on the Rubicon
You can kind of make out the rock rash on our fenders in this one. You can see the dent in my door in one of the earlier pics.

Re: H3's on the Rubicon
Nothing like getting the bullocks out and just doing your own thing. What's the sense in owning a Hummer if your affraid to drive it?
I'm not saying get stupid, I'm saying do it, but do it wise.
So what if your Hummer comes out with a few scars?
Looks like you folks did it wise and have the scars to prove it!!
I can't wait to take my Hummer of road.... I did already in a light way, I wanna get in the nitty gritty myself.

Re: H3's on the Rubicon
Actully, I love the "new" look of the B13 mobile. I'm sure I'll get tired of the stripes after a while and get it fixed. Honestly I like it though. My Hummer looks like it's being used for it's purpose. I noticed a lot of heads turning on my way to work today.
No use fixing it before Moab. Probably during the fall sometime I will get it taken care of. I'm in no big hurry to fix cosmetics.

Nope. But its really just some scratches and little dents. If you really wheel your rig, its gonna happen at some point.
We went on the trip expecting to get some damage, its part of the experience. Actually, we probably fared better than we expected.

Re: H3's on the Rubicon
Thxs Sewie not sure Im ready for damage at this point havent even made the 1st payment yet but in time I know this will be just another vehicle, most cars and newness wears off and the damage begins! Have had a few 4x4s and eventually the fun of wheeling calls and then caution goes the the wind! |

Re: H3's on the Rubicon
Really, for a stock 4x4, it was impressive.
The one thing I would change. The rear shackles. We hung up on them repeatedly!!
Spring under has to be changed if we are going to get serious.
MMM maybe later I like my comfy street ride |

Re: H3's on the Rubicon
Honestly - thats too much damage for me.
I mean I love wheelin - but if body damage like that is guaranteed - I'd find another place. Just me though. 
Proud of you guys though - you represented the brand and especially H3s well. GM should send you a check. |
