So I live 20min from st. louis and I'm starting to look for places to go take my H3 off-road... I'm trying to get all my maintenance and mods done before I go get into anything serious.... I need to build up a trail tool kit and some recovery gear.... If anyone has any links to good things to have on the trail, please post em...

Davenport Iowa area here. I would like to get some of us together at Kansas rocks park. I have a thread in the regional area about it but no interest. There has been some nice info here recently about tools and parts.

digglesworth, a "must have" item for any H3 trail tool/parts kit is a set of inner/outer tie rods. Do you have a set? Let me know, I may have an extra set. A pair of work gloves, a 30' tow strap and a set of D-ring shackles are also a good to have in your recovery bag. before you hit the trails. Here's a great thread by Hunner that will give you a few more ideas of what you may want to add to your trail tool, recovery and spare parts kits: http://www.hummer4x4offroad.com/for...Spare-parts-and-Weigh&highlight=recovery+gear Here's one by Solidj: http://www.hummer4x4offroad.com/forum/showthread.php?2112-Recovery-Gear&highlight=recovery+gear

Here in Indiana we got Haspin, Redbird, Badlands, and Interlake. I'm familiar with all of these and also some private places. Drop a line if you're planning a run to any of them. I know several places in Kentucky, too.

I'll be at Turkey Bay (Land Between the Lakes)...expedition camping and trail running, over the July 4th week. Great area to explore. Go to Youtube and type Turkey Bay. Hit me up if you want to meet down there.

I would love to go..... but.... I don't think my rig will be ready by then. im putting my airdoc, filter, throttle body, spring deletes and new plugs in this week. ill be ordering new shocks on Friday. I could put a tool kit together but I have no recovery gear or spare parts gathered up yet... I was looking into CBs last night.

If you go out with a group and drive easy the chance of breaking is not that bad. We can pull you out or up a ledge if needed so that will limit the chances of breaking. I'm sure plenty of recovery gear will be in the group. Not every one needs there own. Generally when in a group if you break something and someone else has a spare you just have to replace it later and I know I won't leave you behind.

id just hate to be the one slowing everyone down and feeling like "that guy" having to mooch off everyone else... I have a stock spare that's the original chrome wheel with a 265/75/16... I have 17s with 285/70/17s on all 4 corners so I don't even feel like my spare is adequate... :( its little crap like that that im trying to deal with and get squared away. I haven't even had my H3 for a month yet so im still trying to get the bugs worked out...
