Default First time off the road!

Well i went and did a bit of trail driving today, nothing huge due to my lack of experience, but i was just wondering how easy it would be to bend the frame of an h3t. Is it gonna be easier than the normal h3? And what are some things i should look out for as far as mud stuck in filters or limits on how far i should let the chassis turn. Thanks a bunch guys, i dont wanna kill this beautiful truck!

I wouldn"t worry about it too much. If you don't sink it or drive it off a cliff you aren't going to kill it. PM me your contact info and I will put you in touch with some guys in AZ that you can run with. They do a great job of bringing new people along in offroading their Hummers.

Just read in another thread that he (Prescottbound) sank his H3T in 4 feet of water. I feel for him. I am sure that wasn't what he had in mind for his "T."

it's a beater now lol, how do you swamp it if your following someone else? some people need to stay on the road imo. the best stories happen when your buddy says hold my beer.

That truck frame ain't gonna bend, however, H3T was not designed for the unskilled novice... I respectfully request that you then rely on common sense to take control; no deep puddles, no deep-deep sand (air tires down first), no big rocks, no Beer! man- $30k!, & don't listen to friends with no liabilities toward truck. Good luck.
