California Bound
Tomorrow I will be setting off in the 08 Deuce for a California trip. Approximately 1100 miles one way.
Any advice or comments for me??

Re: California Bound
Cali versus Texas... Appreciate Texas.... Yes
1100 miles at 12 miles a gallons... Appreciate a Prius... Yes
Well Unless you have your own private oil well and gas supply
Either way, Have a good trip.
I have been stationed in both Cali and Texas, and I can say there are pluses and minuses to both. But hey I could say that about anywhere

It should be a nice comfortable trip in the H2.

Re: California Bound
Watch your speed and maybe get a radar detector with laser if you already do not have one,,, have fun and remember you did not buy a HUMMER cause you wanted to save gas , you bought it to haul

I bought it as a nice truck that can almost go any where (and because I missed the H1s I drove in Iraq that could go anywhere, and I could afford this rig easier)
The crappy gas mileage is just the downside
(well that and all the "gremlins")
But this rig will be with me for a LONG time. Crappy gas mileage and gremlins included

Yup the uparmored 1114's were fun to drive but woulda really been fun if they had a duramax and Allison.
The H2 would be nice on 1100 mile trip. But I wouldn't want to feed it that far.
I'd have to drive the car.

Re: California Bound
And I agree I'm not gettin rid of the H2 any time soon.
If gas gets to high it'll be driveway art instead of DD.

Re: California Bound
I did 6000 miles in my H2 this summer to Alaska and I got nothing but thumbs up the entire way. On long trips you'll find out how really comfortable those seats are and you can't beat the view you get from up in the H2.

No need for a radar to watch the speed . Just set the Fuel AVG on screen and you will be careful of your speed every sec ... works good for me
Have fun
