RE: Performance Spark Plugs for the H3
 
What kind of a slope angle are we talking about, or is the sign talking about a straight drop like a ACME anvil?

Pretty flippin steep, but right at the peakcaused by wind. They change (evolve) all the time and the signs get moved around. I was a panzy with my kids in the 3, so I stopped at the peak to have a look see before going all the way over. Guess what happend next??? Im sitting on the frame and can't move, threw sand up on the hood, on the roof, and in the windows (remember way back when I told you to close windows when attacking these dunes cuz sand flys everywhere???? My wife did not enjoy the face full of sand!) Couple youngstersin a Jeep with somesweet tires climbed up the back side and with my snatchem strap, gave us a tug and we were good to go. Feels pretty weird to be centered about80 feet upa dune with thefront and rear tires in the air:eek:. Driver error. Did the same spot the next day w/o the wife and kids, and stayed in the throttle till completely over the peak, then stopped on the down side. No problems. Then I yanked out a couple youngsters in a Suburban that got burried on the up side to return the favor so to speek. It' all part of it. Man I wish I would have got a couple pics before getting un-hung. Hey, didn't even think about that stinkin onstar!!!!

Last summer, this whole ridge wasn't even here.

That place looks huge. I'm assuming since it's sand, if you have a good coat of wax on it, the sand just slides right off?

It really does not stick, unless it is wet. Then after it drys, just kinda blows off. The best part, I have Silver Lake Sand on my driveway after the wash on Monday night!!!! While you are up there, every time you shut a door, some sand will fall out of somewhere, the mirrors, fender well, bumper....it is a beutiful thing.

Next spring I'm gonna post an invite on the forum for anybody who wants to make a trip to come join in the fun, July or August. The h3, as heavy as it is, does pretty darn well even with my stock 33" ties at 15psi. Wider would help though. Pcm tune will be cool too. This trip I saw one H2, two H1s, and three 3s. There were other Hummers, mostly 3s, at the motels etc. in the area, but they didn't do the dunes????? Couple young ladys in a white 3, didn't even know you could ride the dunes?? Nobody home. They were like, Hey, whats up with all the flags on the trucks? I'll link some pics this weekend to try and tease the offroad sand juices and get some people thinking in the right direction. Hey, nice work on your machine. Looking good!!
