Somebody thought they were tough:
Until he caught on fire because he didn't know when to let up:
Oops, Hate it when this happens:
Now this was a nice truck, he didn't run though because there was only 3 in his class that showed up. Said it wasn't worth it:
But I think this was THE best looking one there

Excellent job! Not only did you not embarrass yourself or the Hummer brand, you showed everyone just how capable the H3 really is. That's amazing with the stock 33"s. It would have been interesting to try one of the runs in 4Low locked with the transmission in 2nd or 3rd. I've had better luck in mud with the transmission in a higher gear. In first gear, there's more torque and the tires break traction sooner. I did some spotting at a Hummer event where stock H3's were having a hard time making it up a muddy hill. Once they shifted up into 2nd, they made it up the hill without too much trouble.

Thanks, Thought that I mentioned it, sorry. The second run I made was in 4low in 2nd Gear. Ran right through the crap, it was too late do anything about it but I did notice half was through the run that I probably could have smoked them in 3rd. I was hitting the Rev limiter in 2nd.

Nice pics -- there's something about the look of those wheels w/ the center caps removed and muddy...
How often do you do events like that? I never even thought about those kind of events and Hummers - but makes sense!.

Wow, the H3 looks great! That mud looks fun but I'm glad I don't have to do that cleanup.

NICE JOB rhill!!!! You did us proud!!
I'm impressed to hear how it performed. Due to the lack of mud in So. Cal. and lack of a winch on my front end my mud confidence has been on the lower side, you just boosted it.
...and the exuse the Dodge guy gave sounded pretty lame..he just didnt want to get his truck dirty
