Default Crawlin Big Sarge over some small washouts

Some shots of the wheel travel on my Hummer crawling over some small stuff. You can see the frame flexing by watching the nose and hood of the truck. The creaking you hear is the hood sliding back and forth on the rubber scrubbers and the whining is the fan shroud hitting the fan. I sure love the capabilities of my Hummer.

Looks like fun. Might check the dog bones on your hood latches. They seem to let your hood move up and down a lot. Might be time to replace them. Fan blade shouldn't hit the shroud. You can adjust the shroud but it is a pain. Might also check your motor mounts just to be sure.

I agree with adjusting the cooling pack. I had to pull the whole thing off one time. I spent a day trying to adjust it. It has recently gotten worse. Looks like it will be a two man job this time

Pretty cool stuff!
How did you get such a steady camera mount for your H1? Is there a special system for that? This is new to me! ;-)
Adjusting the cooling pack doesn't sound like much fun, though. :-/

I used a GoPro Hero and the suction cup mount right to the body. They cost about $200. But they take incredible video!! i have some other videos on YouTube. Just search nuzz7812 and all my videos will come up.
