Default 200 miles in low range

Well, i put 200 miles on the truck off-roadin' over the weekend of the 4th, and had some fun.

I had tried to take some movies via a digital camcorder, but i can't get them onto my computer despite a bag of cables and widgets. I can only get the movie to play on the computer screen, and then hit alt-printscreen. So the pictures aren't so great.

How the frick do people take such awesomely clear pictures anyway?

But here's some pics, i threw some in taken with my cell-camera, which is better quality for whatever reason.

ok, that's probably boring enough.

i'll bore you guys some more when i get time to go out again.


It was fun. I found a cool site that has listings of OHV trails in different states, and there are some around me, i'll have to give them a try.

shortie, i think its trailsource.com

i have it bookmarked at home. it turned out 4 or 5 that i didn't know existed. In a way, i guess growing up in farm country is an offroading advantage. Over the weekend a few "hey, do you mind if I"'s got me access to maybe 12,000 acres of hilly prarie/streams/sloughs and whatever. Best people in the world up here.

yeah, its trailsource.com


i am thinking about joining a group of hummers to Moab later this year, if they'd invite a stranger. I found a sign-up sheet somewhere or other on the web. I also want to go to the Rubicon, but i don't see alot of hummer videos relating to the rubicon. I know the H2's big marketing-push was based on taking a pack of reporters down the rubicon in the prototypes. You ever go there?

Anyway, i am getting better at remembering to not stop in the middle of mud, which seems to go a long way towards better results.

it was very fun, for sure.

speaking of functional bling, is your rim exposed on your spare? i can't imagine you put that little plastic thing in front of those 24's.

i'll go read your thread again.

the rubicon is a bit narrow for H1s and 2s in a lot of places. i'm going to the eastern end of it in a few weeks, more hummer friendly.

too narrow as in slow going or too narrow as in you-are-sure-to-mangle-your-truck?
