Great pics.....I'm sure they don't do those obstacles justice.
I know they have some pretty rough stuff out there and the possibilities for carnage are limitless... but it sounds
like you guys stayed pretty safe and sane. (Well.....perhaps not in Dave's case......That would be stretching it) 
Can you imagine Classic Hummer doing their happening out there on the 13th without cleaning those trails up a bit ! ! !
How did your tires do? Any rubbing or bottoming out?

Tires, did well even though we got into some terrian we didn't want to tackle, I was backing up down a hill to turn around and I was in low lock and I couldn't move even with the Swampers. Dave got out and spotted me to go further back down this hill to get on some rock for traction and I was able to pull out. I did find that full turning of my wheels and in reverse I could feel the lugs knocking on something, still gotta see what it was, Im hoping the slight lift still to do will cover that issue. And you are right, the pics do no justice.

If you felt the contact as opposed the hearing it, my guess is the inner lugs are giving your steering gear some rubber lovin'......
If you were hearing it, I'd say those 10 inch wide rims were causing the outer lugs to contact the fender.
Mine come amazingly close to making contact, but haven't yet...and that is on a stock adventure setup...I haven't touched the FE on this new '07.
Should be pretty easy to find the shiny spots before you wash it....
Were you running aired up or down?

You bastards !
I'm jealous now.
Dave, you can have a second career as an auctioneer......
Raymond.......I know where you live and I'm coming to steal your exhaust.
Nice pics guys...(I've already scarfed them up for my personal collection)...
Dave, are the videos to large to e-mail? I think this pipe I'm on will do unlimited.....

Great pics Dave and it was cool seeing the video finally of my climbing that hill and going down the other trail where you did that gonzo tripod.
I'm using a Mac and I can't seem to download the video clips. My player (Flash I believe) just lets me play it. I've tried dragging the video clip to my desktop and there's no save to file or video either.
I really want a copy, can anyone else extract the video and email it to me?
Dave, was that posted video the best resolution you have or was that compressed down just for the web? I've got gigs of web server disk space if you have a higher res version. Could ftp it up to my server if it's too big to email.
Hey Mark, you diggin' the sound of those Magnaflows too? I like'm! I was surprised how well that digital camera of Dave's captured the video/audio, those pipes did sound sweet. I had it in 4L drive and was just putting up no more than 2K RPM. The H3 is geared well in 4L, I believe it can climb just about anything it can get traction on without too much effort.

I don't know what I enjoyed more, Dave's witty and enthusiastic banter while spotting you, or the sound of those pipes. If they sound that good in person, I might consider getting a set.
(However, I doubt those nice tips would have survived the College Station trip)
I want a copy of those clips as well. If he gets 'em FTP'ed up to your site, let me know.
Ahhhhh.....Steve #1, Now I see which picture you wanted to use.....Nice.....
I've got it as a background on my work PC...It was a bitch setting it up for 3 monitors !
As for the Classic trip, I took the days off but my truck will still be in the shop for a re-paint
of that burgled door. I was warned (in no uncertain terms) that if I get it in the mud prior to
60/90 days.....The next one would be on ME........The painters are NOT happy.....
Were it not for Brian, I would be eating this paint job .... Thank$ man...! ! ! !
I wonder what trails they will use and if they cleaned them up at all?
Did you call Classic and see if there were any openings?
