You know I would have thought a new Hummer would have been able to do that.. or so I was led to believe...not so I guess..

It is a funny one ...

Yep it can do rocky in Std Trim..... Still waiting on that footage or Story...

I think you might be waiting for quite awhile on that one as people like to bs quite a bit... you see nothing much happens in their life and they feel the bsing is away to get ahead and make them feel wanted.. the only catch is that when people show them up for what they are they get a bit upset...fell thay are not in with the boys and left out.... its funny really because the boys think that the bsers are a team of there own...the mothers meeting oh and hummers.

I'm leaving this alone

Had one a few years back, and dropped in an alfa-romeo 2.0 twin overhead cam. Pig of a job cuttiing & shutting the sump around the front dif, but once it was in...... she was a whole new beast. :cool:

The only problem was sourcing the right engine. There's a plethora of 2.0 twin cams fom fiat and alfa, some awesome, some crud.

Yea though of that too, get the right italian motor, but I didn;t want to do too much tampering, did the 2" exhaust and the holley carby conversion and that was it. Fun cars to drive you can;t bog em and i tried.

There's also a timing chain mod available for the stock motor that replaces the tensioner shoe with a sprocket. The engine revs alot more freely, and even gains about 500 - 600 rpm.

"The H3 has proved itself in the world's most challenging environments, from Australia's Rocky Track to the famous Rubicon Trail in California.
So good is it in the rough, GM Holden had no hesitation in letting the media loose in Toolangi State Forest in Victoria to tackle both rocky outcrops and a collection of mud holes of varying depths."

Yeah... miss mine too, already had the fiat conversion done when I got it. Go anywhere!

(Pic below is a track, the guys in the Disco and Fender couldn't believe there eye's when I started heading towards it and kept going. The Defender Had a diff lock, not sure on the Disco we stopped for a chat and they were impressed, they were sure they would be pulling us up)

[moose]

Where's the pic??

[cookiesa]

Oops, sorry!

Lousy Quality as they are scans from the old 35mm....

Pre digital. We drove all the way up then followed the Land rovers back down again, to really appreciate it you need to check out the articulation on the vehicles and the pic out the rear window looking down the track.

Lucky he didn't roll the thing.

[cookiesa]

The Disco driver would have been very friendly with the passenger if he had one... LOL (He was leaning right over almost in the passenger seat.)

Being smaller we were able to drive around in the ruts most of the time when they had to go over and get opposite wheels in the air. great afternoon was had. At the bottom is a small creek crossing then a quick climb up some steep clay. There was a BJ40 SWB cruiser sideways about half way up that. They had driven down the clay across the creek then seeing the climb ahead changed their minds... (They didn't notice a relatively easy chicken track to the right.)

The uphill wheels were only very lightly loaded, a lean on it and she would have rolled over, they were not very interested in help (not that we could do much from below) and had some "friends" in a bravo helping them..... hmmmm lots of loud pedal, cursing etc so we went back up (via the chicken track) and continued on our way, not sure if they ended up rolling it or not but there is no helping some people. (A good start would have been for them to walk down the slope first (From the start to the begining of the ruts from the way they came in would be about 500m)

Sorry no pics, had used up the film
