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.

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.

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.
