That might could be fun... I'd consider it! I know the state pretty well! :wink:

Probably because it was mainly the Land Rover crowd that are like cult that doesn't like "outsiders". :) That's precisely why I would like to take two Hummers up there and set the record straight. :D Has to be somebody that's willing push his rig and not feint at the sight of blood. ;)

Me me me! I have fun showing haters up. I don't fear blood. Take a look at my projects...I always end up with blood drawn sometimes stitches worthy and while I don't have a setup like you bebe or 4speed but I would say the spring over rancho kicks ass and is probably the best setup (IMO) without taking a knife to the front end like what you 3 did.

I just need to drive across country. I was talking with my brother the other day saying it would be badass to drive across country and go in as an H3 JK team but distance is a killer :(

It's funny we say the same thing that we always wanted to drive cross country to the west coast.

I might be doing this event. Not 100% due to price but I am looking into it further.

Maybe we should fund the H4O team -- pick the rigs, pick the drivers who are in good shape and know how to do field repairs... a special hood like the NASCAR guys...

I still want to do this! Maybe August 2015? Second H3 must have winch, UCP and willing to play hard, as well as know how to repair his vehicle and have plenty of spares.

I wish Vermont was closer. I have all the necessary things required and can wrench on the 3 minus electrical crap...drivetrain I know pretty well by now.

That looks like jungle vegetation and not something you find in Vermont forests. :D Still a good lesson to take home. I nearly lost my TJ once in that way for not checking where we were driving through.

The vegetation is out of place,I would agree. The picks didn't look like anything to extreme to me. A lot of the rigs look stock with a winch.
