Hi All, Just wanted to say its the first time I took my H3 in the woods and wheeled it. Nothing spectacular but all we have in coastal Carolina. I went to Rippy Hummer in Wilmington NC this Sunday for an event. They were awesome and I do apprectiate all they did. Heck they gave away more stuff than could have wanted. Also for the event teakatoys.com came and was first class all the way. Donated things too for door prizes. Their H1 took the kids out for fun rides and they too participated in the activities. They practice what they preach and they loved their Hummers as evident of their H1. Only damage to report is naturally I forgot to take off the front licsense plate (which is gone), bent undercarriage protection (it worked) and my horn sounds like a hamster dying. Had Teakatoys H1 there, about five H2's and around ten H3's. I have enclosed some pics as I never do that as I didnt get much of mine naturally. I was very satisfied with the H3's performance as I am sure most of you already knew that. All I can say is that for anyone thinking of or wondering, the H3 is real and worth every cent it costs. Light on its feet and had no complaints what so ever. Will take it out in a few weeks to the mountains and see out there. I left not wanting anymore than I have. I must brag for the first time. There was a large hole in the back and the H1 was playing and everyone was looking. I asked if I could get a run through and everyone said never gonna make it. Made it and did it three times! Trying to post more pics in a second

Wow looks like awesome fun. Are you running the stock tires through that mud? If so, did they get stuck at all? Great pics..

That was quite daring of you.

I'm always worried about water leaking in through the door's.

Do you know if the seals are actually water tight? Or will it start coming in eventually?

The water will start coming in, we had a newbie driver get his H3 flooded when he went into a mud hole the wrong way. His vehicle was totalled by his insurence company, but after 24" of water and you are not moving the water will come in.

Nice pics, great of you to share.

             Thanks All! I am with you CWS as the first picture was my favorite. I didnt get many of mine but got a call today where about 10 more yards where it was plowing it dropped all the way up to the second hood vent completely under so thats why the horn dont work! The fellow said he would send it to me as he talked much about it and the H3.

            Garret Moore I have the offroad package with the stock tires as I always liked the tires and ran them before on other vehicles. Not the most aggresive but I do like the Dualers. I do have the vehicle leveled to the 24.5 so it is higher than stock up front. Didnt get much sepage if I got any just a small tad. Goal was not to stick around too long to see how much!!!

             Thanks all again and Trey 124, glad to share as I wish I would have gotten a few more but like all of us, we like to see it so I wish I could contribute more to the forum as I do appreciate you all and the comments, Mike

             PS.. I did get tangled up and stuck in those logs and my 15 year old did it all twice and never batted and eye.   I guess you could say hes a tad better already!
