Here are a group of pictures from this past weekend at ParagonAP.
We did the monthly ride with a group of Jeeps & other vehicles... We were the only H2 there.
We rode Saturday and Sunday. It was a good ride both days. The mud pit on day #2 was over the top fun!!
(So was cleaning my radiator 3 ^%$& times, but that's another story...)

That's looks like a fun time. Did they just use you as an anchor point for the recoveries?

Looks like a ton of fun! I wish I could have been there.

Well... as you know the jeeps don't weigh that much... and I sure as hell wasn't goinng in deep unless I knew there was someone that could pull me out!
It was great and there wasn't a single "brand oriented" comment the whole weekend. By and large they treated the H2 like a big jeep... which was very cool.
Next time I head up I'll play in the mud... because I'll have the Milemarker installed and have some ability to self rescue...
But yes... in the end the H2 was used as a three-ton anchor point

We've created a true monster! 
Did you do any of the trails we did together?
You need the Rubber Duck UCP.

You're right about the the rubber duck. MY undercarriage protection is a bit too bent up now...
So Hummersgonewild is heating and rebending my UCP back into position and giving me a new UCP. (very generous of John I might add!)
They are installing the supercharger tomorrow, I guess the winch Friday.
Gobi Rack is in. Shopping for offroad lights now.
Northwest Dual Battery kit arrived today.
OO gauge welding cable arrived to wiring the inverter to allow the full 1000 watt load arrived today too.
Also the CD mailers got here, so tomorrow I start mailing the DVD's (finally).
Still... there's probably a rubber duck and a lot more hummer mud porno in the future for the 24th of the month...

Yes, I am getting a cradle for the front hitch mount.
I bought it from Rocky at E-winches. With all the bells, whistles, and delivery it was about 1600. Thats a 12k hydraulic winch, 12,000lb cradle (not 9,000!!), installation plumbing, front quick disconnects, hitch Pin, rear plumbing kit, rear quick disconnects, and a neoprene cover that proudly says "Ramsey". (That will confuse folks....)
Most of the "pile" has arrived and it's all first-class stuff. Aeroquip and the like. Very impressive.
Winch alone weighs about 100lbs + Cradle.
I probably forgot a lot of detail on the parts list but Rocky knew every last detail off the top of his head. If you are asking the electric vs hydraulic question, which given the wieght of the H2's and H1's you should, he's a good guy to talk with.

You guy have got to see the video on this one...
I finished editing the mud bog video last night and it came out really great!
I have 3 slow-motion sequences on the video that are simply AWESOME!!!
That pic above is also my favorite. I'm tempted to frame and stick it on the wall...
