Here are some pictures from our recent run to RC!  A few CHOmies and I decided to have a small get together this weekend, and boy am I glad we did!  What a blast -- a small group, I learned, has advantages.  We got around a LOT more of RC than I have ever experienced with a large group.  Plus, I was with the greatest group of CHOmies I know, so that was nice as well.  Anywho, here's the pix:

This weekend, with the help of Hummeron37s, I was finally able to transplant the black mirrors and handles I bought back in July on the T and get rid of some more of that Chrome Appearance Package.  It was a rather unnerving occasion, as the process involves some strong-arming (read: flagrant bashing) of handles and tactful prying (read: ape-like pulling) of mirror glass.  In the end, the results were well worth the cringing.  The black parts are literally a thousand times better looking.  Pu...

This weekend was a busy one for Barney and friends Hans3T:  Friday, I left WV to make a 2pm tire appointment at National Tire & Battery where my T had a brandy-new 33" Bridgestone Dueller A/T mounted and balanced where my steelie-spare had been for the past (almost) month.  But, in typical Hans3T fashion, the process could not go smoothly.  The tire was taken care of with Nascar-pit-like-speed, however the TPMS reset took nearly an hour and a half.  The hard-working NTB folks simply would not...

My T has a unique attribute.  No, not the purple Sonoma Red Metallic paint -- I'm talking about the SnugTop.  Well, as those of you who have seen one in person will know, unless you're over 6 feet tall you cannot see the rear "window" on the top of the slantba...

Whew, say that three times fast:  "Seatback backpacks!"  ...Yeah, I know:  Impossible.

Anyways, I recently bought a pair of "Hummer Integrated Seatback Utility Packs" off a CHOmie who, unfortunately, sold his H3 and was parting with some accessories.  I gotta say, I am very impressed with them.  Initially I was skeptical that they would fit well or clip in sturdily, but, they are snug and hold probably 5 times as much stuff as the factory "nets" do on the back of the front seats.  On top of th...

A week has passed since Hans3T and company made it back from the 2nd Annual CHO Labor Day Run at Rauch Creek ORV in Tremont, PA. 

This was the 4th or 5th time I have personally been to RC, though it was the first time I wheeled my truck there.  I have to say, we had an absolute blast.  Fifteen Hummers, representing nearly a decade of the brand, came out to do what these trucks were made to do:  Wheel.

Day one got off to a great start, but was met mid-day with a punctured sidewall on my rear pas...

Today I leave for the inaugural visit of my truck to RC -- and the 2nd Annual CHO RC Labor Day Run!  I personally have been to RC four times now as a spectator, although I have driven some other generous CHOmies' rigs for some brief stints; however, for the first time in my life I can wheel MY truck ALL day at RC!!  I am very much excited to say the least.  According to my roster on CHO, we've got 18 trucks coming -- everything from H1 to H3T!  Unfortunately, one of my better friends from the...
