Off Road wear and tear items on your Hummer

[3Hummers]

Scratches don't bother me, I just want everything to work like it should. Even little things bother the **** out of me.

I dont really worry about scratches either, unless its an extremely pristine truck or rare truck with something along those lines.

Following too close on gravelly trails?

 

[HUMMER INVESTMENTS]

Wow 5 winshields? How come so many replacments?

I'll comment on the windshield replacement. Out here in the west these jack wagon drivers emulate Nascar and pass within inches of my bumper which never fails to kick up gravel in to my windshield. No matter what you do these drivers out here zig-zag through traffic and they're on you before you knew they were there.

You obviously don't have a sufficiently gnarly, evil looking bumper. Put a big, steel compact car crusher on the front and people give a bit more respect. Drive around with no straight sheet metal and they stay the **** away

I'm still on the same one my truck had when I bought it, but it has a nice crack in it. I've broken the windshield in Todd's Jeep TWICE. Seems every time I borrow it, some truck tosses a rock into it :roll:

June 9th. Right after the 2nd Halfshaft went in Mitchell SD.

 

[3Hummers]

Damn Olan, what were you doing?

 

[HUMMER INVESTMENTS]

Lets just say I overestimated the trucks abilities on I think like a 26" or 28" step up at the offroad course in Sioux Falls.. ( Correct me if I am wrong )

 

[3Hummers]

You should be able to do that.

 

[j3jackson]

Wow, bummer.

HWY 93 has a big gravel pit operation, and I used to take that road to and from work everyday in Colorado. It doesnt matter how often they sweep it, I actually get hit by rocks coming from the OTHER DIRECTION. CDOT says its a road hazard and that I am responsible. I broke three windshields there, and two more going to and from the mountains to go skiing. The straight windshield just doesnt glance off rocks as well, and they put their impact energy straight into the glass. Ive got about 5 or 6 stars in my 5th one now, and its ready to be replaced. Driving two and from Phoenix there are a lot of little stones that make very small chips everywhere...

I got up it, but then accidentaly let off the gas and fell back down while trying to give it more gas, then hit the ground and boom, the front shaft goes.

Wow, bummer.

Truck is actually still in Mithcell, wont pick it up until later this week.

Sounds like you don't have the two-feet technique down yet

Sounds like you don't have the two-feet technique down yet

I learned a little about in in Moab. Just not down 100% yet, and its harder in a TT4 truck

 

[HUMMER INVESTMENTS]

Oh, and it also "might" need a new idler. Ill have to check that when I get back. How do I check the idler?

 

[3Hummers]

It takes a little practice and it is harder in a TT4 truck.

 

[MaxPF]

What's a "TT4" truck?
