Can't wait to meet some of you guys on this run. Gotta learn how to "appropriately" use a Hummer besides grocery getter

No pinstriping at all, just canyons, dirt roads and bumping over the odd rock and boulder.. nothing serious...

This trip is on the back burner for me at the moment, got to decide if I'm moving at the end of the month this weekend, if so I'll be too busy packing.. if not I can probably make it.

Who's doing the notch this time?

 

[cbetts]

After taking John Bull, my reality gauge has been recalibrated and I no longer have an urge to want to take the notch. I will gladly watch you though.

 

[06 H3]

I doubt I will...lol

 

[Medic_Morgan]

What is this notch you speak of?

[cbetts]

Oh, you will see. We will be taking the bypass which in its self can be challenging for beginners.

 

[cbetts]

I found a couple of pics from a few years ago of a modified S-10 taking the v-notch

 

[Medic_Morgan]

That looks pretty gnarly, haha if I walk through it can I get credit

[Zach]

I think we have all walked it lol

 

[Portager]

Yep...I should be good to go for this one.

Does that include new tires?

Put me down for this one. I was holding out hope that I could do a Sleeping Princess pre-run around the same time as this trip but I don't think it is going to happen.

 

[06 H3]

Yep. Got new 2 new duratracs and the 2 unused spares thrown on squeaky 2 weeks ago.

Need new shocks and set up bumpstops need to be done and I'm good to go.

 

[Zach]

:whaa: You finally splurged and got tires? :whaa:

 

[Portager]

:holymolyWhat squeaky got new shoes? ics:

 

[06 H3]

I am planning on doing my usual caravan, leaving Torrance at 6:30 to meet up with the Santa Clarita group at 7:30. Any takers?

Ellen has decided to ride shotgun with me this time. Should be entertaining!

Looks like I am cutting it close for getting my truck ready for this run. I recently noticed a puddle of oil on the garage floor. Bad power steering line. On the way to the shop, DIC threw a P0128 code so I picked up a thermostat while picking up the new lines. Well, turns out the reservoir was leaking on the power steering pump as well. Not to stop there but the new thermostat was also defective. I left it at the shop until I can pick it up Thursday.

 

[06 H3]

that sucks...Atleast it will be ready for the run.

I need to finish up my stuff. Install the longer brakelines and test out everything before saturday. First real run with the spring over...

 

[Kurt]

I'm getting my truck back from Tustin sometime soon [as I get a ride :giggle:]

I should be able to make this event now.

Truck checks out, turns out all 3 of my u-joints were shot from Moab.

 

[Medic_Morgan]

Can't wait see your SOA 06! I def wanna do that mod! Kurt I hope you can make it, I really wanna see what a REAL "1" can do up close(not all the pavement princess 1's I see around town). So stoked to meet everyone

I'll be there, I may have to drop the run in November.. I can't get a day off to leave early and I don't think I can make it up to Henderson Friday night with all the LA->Vegas traffic. I need my beauty sleep.

 

[06 H3]

Only a few days to go! I am stoked...New brakelines are in and this will be my first test. I hope nothing goes wrong, I havent had a broken part or tow truck on an H4O run yet, I wanna keep that going I only break **** without you guys.
