Silver Lake Hummer Happening - Michigan - Page 2

Yes.  Same place.  No grilling in the Dune area, but after at the Hotel, cottage, motel, campground.  Dunes in the day.  Some grillin and chillin after, maybe a go cart ride or three!!!  We shall all huddle on a good date for a trip(s).  Might have to do more than one!!!    Big fun guaranteed for all, even the little ones.

Well, depending on our funds at the time, we may, MAY have our RoadTrek by then, and assuming it can tow, oh 5k pounds or so, we might camper it and tow the H3.  Do you think it would be possible to do that, or is that just a disaster waiting to happen?  I've never towed another vehicle before.  I don't even really get how it steers properly..............

It is possible, but a 3 is pretty freekin heavy.  If everything is up to snuff and you take your time, could be done.  You would need one heavy duty tow dolly.  I've seen many people towing Jeeps and Mini trucks, but no H3s yet.  One guy showed up at Silver Lake this summer with a ginormous trailer, had 3 four wheelers and a small 18' bow rider boat on it pulled by a four door Ford pick up with a four wheeler in the bed!!! 

I've seen Class A's dragging H3's ...no class B's yet but a class B should be rated about 8,000lbs so it should be able to handle it pretty well I'd think.  If you are going to flat tow it (put the t-case in neutral) make sure you get all the safety brakes and failsafes in case it comes loose.
 
Here was my test of the H3's towing ability.  I hauled this about 40 miles...it was RIGHT at the limit.

Sorry Doc I cant make the 28th.

Anybody up for the 28th at Silver Lake?!  The mixed 4x4 meet sounds like its still on.  Last chance to get on the dunes this year!!

Damnit! I hate in-laws.  First, I couldnt go to my department retreat in San Diego because I had to take them to the freaki'n airport, and now I can't go to this because I have to pick them up from the airport.  Living in the boonies sucks ass.

Be a good son in law and treat them to a limo!! (aka..cab ride.)
 
Oh well..sounds like next spring should be a good trip though!!  The dunes arent going anywhere!

Here are some pics from the dunes today.  Last weekend of the year!  We had a good time!!
 












 

where do I sign up to go.....

Looks like a blast. Thanks for sharing.

The dunes open April 1................only 88 days away!  

Hey Doc,
