Default Offroading with an H1 on 37s.

Some of us headed to **** around a bit, and we ended up being in the mud for about 4 hours. Here are some teaser pictures. I'm hoping to have some video footage soon.


I couldn't even budge him out of here. He ended up winching off a railroad.


This took some convincing, but I was able to nudge him enought to get out.


Me backing up and taking running starts trying to nudge that pig out.


This is the same hole where I burried my ram a few weeks back. The H1 didn't make it through either, but the water was considerably lower then when I attempted it. Too bad there's still like 2 ft+ of really soft mud at the bottom of the puddle.

Nice Pics. Big difference between hummers and humvees.

Did you make it through this time?

Negative... I didn't evne attempt it. We only had another Chevy Z71 with us, so we didn't think it would be wise to get the only two capable rigs stuck at the same time. The H1 also broke a huge 4" wide strap winching out of that one. (rated at 15 ton)

The mud in that hole is absolutely brutal.

I wouldn't go as far as saying that, but it is nice to have the ability.

I had a different guy call me that morning to come get him out, but he didn't think I'd be able to yank him out, so he ended up paying a $400 tow truck bill. I was going to just go give him a rooster tail while he was being raped.

Too bad we didn't make it out in time.
