I was up in Northern MI this summer, I was going on a little memmory lane kinda ride where my parents and I sayed years ago at a resort that is now engulfed by developement of condos and a luxury golf course.  I'm driving down this big hill and showing the kids where I tobogganed like 40 years earlier, covered in dried up ferns and tall weeds and all of a sudden there is this narrow little dirt trail.  So............duh... I follow it down and around this small pothole and when I bust out of the brush............ I'm sitting on the fairway of the golf course next to this giant fountain and landscaped waterfall thing.     I look down the fairway and there are some guys with as couple carts looking at me like I'm friggin nutz!!    OOps!  My kids are cracking up  and I'm gently turning around to skeedaddle before the Sheriff Department gets a call.   
So I was almost there with ya mh307.  Takin on golfers with my 3.

 
Pics would have been AWESOME!!!!!

All of the black powder coated ext accessories on mine are made by RearWheels.  (Brush guard, roof rack, antenna base surround, and locking gas cap)  All were installed by the dealer, so I'm not sure where they purchased, but I would recommend Hummer Parts Club.  Not sure why, but I couldn't find the RearWheels brush guard that I have.  May be discontinued.
Here's a link to the HPC page for the rook rack.

Looks great! You should start a Photo Album, you would be a shoe in for ROTH!

Please feel free to give greenshirt a reach around via PM instead of hijacking this thread to do it.

Oh yeah- because no one else ever hi-jacks any threads around here.
Not too mention that this thread can use all the hi-jacking it can get.
 

And offensive comments like "give greenshirt a reach around" with lude animation are ok? Don't worry it wont happen again!

?????

Rattling cages are we IK???? 
 
2zRescue, ever race anything with your Hummer, drive on golf courses or anything??  Yep, I agree, Greenshirt has a nice lookin ride.  I think you made him an invite for a nomination.............just needs a Gallery
 
Who is this Jack guy you people keep saying Hi to???

I got my H3 about a month ago, and didn't buy it to really race anyone, but it would smoke my old Grand Cherokee. BTW the golf course thing would be alot of fun, at least till the cops show up!

Talk about your threads that refuse to die.
 
How about this for a H3 commercial:
Pristine golf course.  Beautiful, picture perfect day.  Tournament in full swing. (pun intended)
Huge crowd.  Dead silence.  The pro golfer is on the green getting ready to execute the "make or break" putt of his life.
He putts, the crowd holds their breath, and the ball rolls in a perfect line toward the hole.  Everyone, fully expecting the ball to drop, gets ready to let out a tremendous cheer.
And then...the ball stops.  As if to taunt, the ball sits teetering on the very edge of the hole.
Suddenly! DocOlds and his H3 come tearing through the trees onto the course!  The crowd gasps, watching the H3 in disbelief as it slides to a stop, literally shaking the ground beneath.
(Close-up on ball) The ball drops in!  The crowd goes ballistic!
We see a camera close-up of Doc with the classic "Oh sh*t!" look on his face as he puts it in reverse and calmly proceeds to back up through the vegetation through which he just came.
Close with clever tag line like- "Hummer.  It will take you everywhere you want to go, and some places you don't."
Feel free to add your own clever tag line ideas.  Or not.
 
 

Cool idea Greenshirt, the kids sure would dig it!    We could have them in the back laughing      at their old man just like they really did when I ended up on the faiway.   
Hummer-like nothing else, especially on the golf course!
 
Let's go to Hummer with it.

seriously some of you need to re-adjust your tampons and get a sence of humor sorry about the lewd comment about a reach around...I forgot we were posting on teenagegirls.com lighten up people...this is why there are people here that always get along and actually have fun on here....me, shorty,doc,muddy,bob,stangs,zyne,HG and a few others...thay actually get humor

And your showing a bad example t other forum users by taking everything so seriously....btw, whoes the one that taking this seriously because your the one with the post about OMG  HE RACED ANOTHER CAR IN A 25 MPH LANE, is that so big of a deal, come on everyone likes to hae fun being in racing, pleasure, or just messing around with people. I have done the same thing but onething that I have learned on this forum is to take almost anything sarcastically or lightly and not tak everything literally.

Gorilla--I'm gonna have to add you to the list of people that actually "get it".

and BTW greenie.....your original unedited post comes through the email reminders

I honestly don't understand you. You post the above in protest of others taking your earlier post too seriously, when it doesn't seem to me that anyone was, in fact, taking it too seriously.
WHO is the one getting too worked up?
Maybe take some of your own advice and lighten up a bit yourself.
As a moderator(?), wouldn't that set a better example?
I also love how you name all your forum buddies, as if to imply that anyone not on the list is "out of the cool person loop".
Give us a break.
Seems that the attitude in this thread loosened up substantially for everyone involved until you interjected.
Just an observation.
 

 
which is a joke, cause I ain't worked up at all.....seems the guy that loves your truck is...that is who I was repying to....read the entire thread before making comments.
And my list isn't a cool person lists.....it's just people that I know can take a joke and better yet...can grasp what a joke is.....you are on a totally different list.

IK- I don't care that you can still read my post.  I know how a forum works and figured you'd see it either way.  Your the only person that it was intended for anyway.
I basically decided that it wasn't worth the arguement out in the open, hence the edit. 
Your decision to post it is in poor taste and further proves your lack of decency as a person in general.  Poor example to set as a mod IMO.
 
GorillaH2- Your post is hilarious.  I can totally see why IK put you on his "list".  You guys will undoubtedly get along great. 

your funny....my posting what you edited out is in bad taste?? NAHHHHH...I had to post to keep gorilla from looking like he was talking about nothing See...posting for people to read then editing is in bad taste...as a mod, I'm not gonna let gorilla or any other person get hung out to dry like that.
