Nice, post up some pictures of it when it comes in!
That forum has been plagued since it's inception; it was born after improper management of the Hummer Forums site (or lack thereof) and members wanted a site that was actually build around it's members and not just a dummy forum.
The first issue they had is somebody who was administrating it while one of the guys was overseas for 6 months or so. During that time, the person started migrating the entire forum, member profiles and all content over to a new domain (essentially stealing it)... then redirected all of the site traffic to a new website (the birth of Hummer4x4offroad.com or H4O) under the false flag of the original forum. A massive battle broke out between the two people when the other guy came back, all content was stripped from H4O and all was restored at the old site. So there was actually a split in the community over it, I didn't really like that my profile had been copied and I was tricked into going to the new site, so I stuck with CHO.
This last problem another administrator who was helping out had a falling out with the owner, he deleted (or copied) all content and vanished... the site was completely wiped out. What you are seeing now is a frantic attempt to redo the site using a standard forum template. It is a shame so much was wiped out, the site was a plethora of information. It is literally the only place I can go for H3T specific information and mods.
