RE: 1st Time Hummer Owner From Michigan
Welcome. I was up and around ******* early last week, Hayes Township, Otsego County. You are not kidding......dry, dry, dry. I felt like I was in Eastern Colorado, dust bowl city man???? Even creek crossings were dusty?????? I went around Duck Lake, which is usually good for some mud. Dust, nothin but??? Nice pics.

RE: 1st Time Hummer Owner From Michigan
Welcome to the Forums. My wife and I bought a base H3 a few months ago. It's really hers, but I get to drive it a lot. It came with the auto trans and a sunroof and the extra airbags. It's sprouted the nerf bars and a rear tire cover since and we may be done with mods with the exception of a tow hitch sometime in the future. Like the pics. I need to get back to PA so I can drive it offroad somewhere. The South Florida concrete jungle is wearing on me. Well, good luck with it and stay on the forums!

Nahh .. you just need to stop fighting the inevitable here and get modding hehehehe ... if nothing else though .. you're obviously one to leave the pavement and seek out the mudroad less travelled ... so wouldn't it make SOME sense to make provisions for that?!! :-)I won't hit the trails without a winch or a buddy with me .. (I have no winch yet so go figured lol) ... call me a sissy (shuddup Mike, go play with the rocks lol) but I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it .... Now .. of course if you do any night wheeling ... now you need some lights for it .. and if you go all out light wise .. well, time to get a bigger alty ... you can't mount the lights without a brush guard .. well you could but it would look silly ... and roof lights without a rack to mount them on or to accent them with .. that's just a crime in itself .. see .... I've even sat here and made cases for you ... tsk tsk tsk LOL!
On a side note ... we'll have to hassle ya for our next badlands trip .. assuming we can actually get another one going here ... LOL!

are long gone... I'm more of any easy trail guy these days.... That being said, I did hit the muddy stuff on Sunday but it was in a fairly small ORV park with LOTS of other vehicles, so I figured if I got stuck the worst thing would be a bruised ego! LOL!
BUT... that being said I will definitely invest in some off-roading accessories....
I also learned a LONG TIME ago the value of off-road lights at night! We seen some "seaonal roads" Friday night on our little road trip... I was very tempted to check them out... but I wasn't going to do it with just headlight, especially since I didn't know the area...

Well... it was a very very hard decision... but in fact I let the Mustang go and got the H3 instead... The Mustang was definitely a "Me Only" toy where as the H3 will now involve the whole family!!!
The Mistress was a fun car and i'll miss here.. 317RWHP/309RWTQ, 12.85 @ 107MPH... not bad for a little V6... LOL
