As soon as it all gets to the shop, also regearing the diffs and looking at getting this motor redone along with everything.

Well it is my work truck as well and my play rig, it has served me well for what i put it through out here in the patch in the rainy/snow seasons. These rough ole lease roads and stuff are hard on the suspension as is the driving like a fool on the gravel roads so everything i do to it will benifit it in the long run. The engine is approaching 200,000 kms and has a slight tapping sound to its time to get the heads redone, a little lumpier cam in it as well etc. Gary was mentioning he had some upgrades done to the tranny so when it goes in for its rebuild i'll get them to go right through it as well and see what improvements there will help. The regearing is a must to regain the lost power from the big rubber, it will be nice to get the shift points and RPMs back to normanl as well.

I plan on using it for years to come so the improvements today hopefully will mean trouble free wheeling in the future <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... /smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Hey guys, the group i run with and sponser down here in the Hat (Gas City Wheelers) are wondering if they can get together with the CHC club and do a run together. They are a great bunch of guys and girls who like us enjoy wheeling in the backwoods and share much of the same responsiblity as this club. I have been out with them alot and from what they have seen for the videos i've shared from here it makes them very interested in seeing what hummers can really do. They are i must warn you a lot of jeep owners and we throw jokes back and forth steady as i am the only Hummer dude there <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... /smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />. Let me know your thoughts, ideas, maybe area to run at...and lets see what we can come up with.





Joe

I threw your repleis up on the FB page and i'll let you know what they come up with as a time and place to run. As for areas we will travel to your neck of the woods as medicine hat is FLAT...besides the gravel pit we were in when the bumpers got ripped of last winter and my diff gerneaded pulling out stuff. I just hope my stuff is all done to the truck and its will be the madian voyage to see what else will go in it lol.

LET THE JOKES FLY about jeeps as we all have a good scents of humor and will fire back at ya. If you have a date and place to go in mind let us know and we will try to get as many out as we can.

Thanks Ray
