LMAO Mike!!!!She gave up after I busted out the rear window out in Haspin last year ... I swear I'm taking my axe to that f**king birch when I make it out there next time LOL!
With my luck it will probably land on my truck and kill it once and for all .... :/

We have TONS of H3's on the lot right now. The back lot behind the hummer building is completely full. I found out today that the H3T will be delivered in about 2 months. Should be cool to see.

As far as off roading in Illinois, we tried The Cliffs, Insane Terrain last summer which is near Joliet but theres only ATV trails. Not Hummer friendly at all. There may be others in Illinois but probably down state.

Anybody know some off-road sites in illinois?
Yeah. We tried ONE, and that's the one where we could barely make it through the trails. It's right off of I-80 just past me in Plainfield. Mike just drove his H3 through this dense forest and went so far he just dissappeared......... We had to hike about 1/4 mile to find him, where he was stuck in a dead end and somehow managed to get out.

Mike likes to beat on his Hummers That's why he blows parts up and stuff

There are a couple of others we haven't checked out yet. Maybe we can go check them out sometime.
IT's not that I like to beat on my truck, I was just getting pissed off that day because we each spent like $25 to play on trails they said were Hummer Friendly. That trail where I dissapeared was awesome until it just randomly ended. which was every trail at that place. also the atv ruts on the trails were so deep our hummers were having a hard time staying on the trail.

It would be a miracle if I could givea leased vehicle back at 48k miles when the 48k mile lease doesn't expire for 20 more months

The GOOD news is that all is well with the T-Case now and it drives as well as it did before. All I need is a new truck and I'm ALL good

OK. If not that, then new brakes and tires. The brakes I'll do before we go, but the tires, eh, I dunno.

Are you SURE you guys can't make it on a Saturday? It would be alot easier (for me)

I know. I'm just giving you crap

I'll never forget those pics of your differential with the hole in it. That's what I was referencing

If the last person there is made trail leader then I'm not waiting for mike on route 41 this time.

I'll bring the chainsaw and my leatherface mask.
Well see, this time we'll have a newbie with us, so we can just sucker, uh, ask him to be a trail leader, and then we he gets stuck, we'll all just drive away really quickly [8D]

Leatherface mask huh? Remind me NEVER to set foot inside your home again, even during the day, with all the windows and doors open

I think you are solely the reason why your service techs are so good at fixing H3's, because of all the practice they got from yours

Well, that was until they started seeing mine every other week

Or anybody with a 5-speed don't forget. I still have that claim to fame I believe besides the ONE other person you said ever comes in there with a stick.

I'm surprised the shifter hasn't snapped off by now or some crazy things happen to it.

It would be like watching "Vacation" but I would go to shift and the shaft would just pull right out of the console
