Does sound exciting once you are finished with the prostrate exam...<img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... >/kiss.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':-*' />



Only reason I was planning a new crate 427 or the 502 is that I thought you could not rebuild these aluminum blocks? I've only ever had one vehicle in my life that was rebuilt and it was a Honda civic and was rebuilt at 202km and had 346k on it if remember right what I gave it away. I only gave it away as I got into Mortgage Brokering and so my income went up significantly from working 9-5 so I bought a new Jeep liberty when they came out.



But the damn thing was still running strong when I gave her away! so I have no issues at all with a new rebuild especially cuz it should be alot cheaper, and you should be able to add the right components to boost that HP into the 500 range.... So I'll be keeping an eye on you to see how she fairs. I stll have a long way to go but I like to plan ahead! <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... e_wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wink:' />

It's definitely alot of fun.... But that's it! ... We go to have Fun! No competition, no one is out to prove anything.... simple FUN which is why I love this group so much. Alot of fluky stuff on this run though - Gaza hit something and JL has a shaft sheer in half which it wasn't even under any strain.

My Tierods are shot only because there is a warning out there on Cognito's for defective manufacturing and well... they were right! So Fabtechs going in tomorrow I hope and if Cognito replaces the defective ones.... well now I have spares for our runs...

Honestly you guys go ahead! It's gonna be a while still... also I am just about determined to trade the H3 for an H2 after this experience! As much as I reeaaally do love my H3 it's such a pair in the arse getting parts for this thing... dealer wants huge money for everything, and getting anything for a decent price is a battle!



Knowing that breakdowns are inevitable, parts availability for the H2 is a major determining factor!! I know everyone locally so they'll help me find a smokin deal to boot...



Don't wait for me to get the next one planned!! Besides I'm sure Brian will let me tag along!!

This is true, U can always ride B!tch!!!



Hey - I found some more of my videos.... Turns out J-Man I should have listened to you as you said not to buy the SD card that they reccomend, what did I do...bought the SD card that they reccomended and it doesn't work very well with the camnera and the files corupt. But they can be repaired which I did and I have a few which I will post to my user name mrhummerdave over the course of the night...



J-Man - let me know which is a good Card for a video camera that actually works without flaw!



So I started uploading video's - man Youtube is freakin slow! I have 2 uploaded with 2 more pending.



So got my truck back today, those Fabtechs look sweet! I just hope they hold up! They are guaranteed if they don't.



Locker is by-passed!!! Rick is a freakin genious man!! He very creatively wired it so it completely by passes the control module without interfering with it and and it has a kill switch, So the factory switch will still work normally. So dual lockers which I can flip on if playing in the snow or mud in high or low gear! Cost a pretty penny but I love the flexibility of having complete control!



Soooo.... March Run? Suggestions...
