August Alberta Run

[Khamul]

Well I can honestly say that I had a blast yesterday!!! Sure going over that enbankment almost resulted in my having to change my shorts..... Does say alot for the overall toughness of the H2 though but I think i can safely say that if I had not beefed up the front end... tie rods at least would have snapped with that little episode..... First time I've ever scared myself that much that I had to get out and sit down for a minute!!!

Hopefully the warranty won't be an issue for Karl and the repair will be covered... should be no issue as that's what you paid for... I think we can say now that you got your money's worth Karl!!! We should email each other our the video's as I'd love to see me, and on my video of you - you'll see what happened at the end...



Our field repair knowledge is expanding with using a tea towel for a make shift airfilter but hey.... it worked until we got back to Cochrane! Sorry again Nick as I really didn;t think it was that deep.... but it did clean us off! I'm heading out now to start washing and hopefully $20 will do it as she's not that bad this time! I waxed with MaGuires quick wax before the run so we'll see if that helps!



Overall - great run!!! Great Company! Great weather in the end! It was a great Day!

Karl's front differential and my air filter... it was a soggy mess, lol.

I had a blast, this was one of the funnest runs we have done for sure. It was sure nice to actually make it to the falls this time!

[Khamul]

Yeah that was fun! Great to sit down for a cold one afterwards to! Man I was starving!



Here's Karl's video...

Thanks for the good time everyone! I have to say I really enjoyed myself. The falls were really cool, almost surreal with all the little streams running everywhere, Nick granted superhuman strength to punch right through a tree, amazing!



Already can't wait for the next one!

[Sugarphreak]

Yep, punched through a tree and then soaked myself in gasoline.... if this sounds like it makes no sense, well you had to be there for that.



Also Jimmy the wonder dog caught the sent of my Nikon camera and then went and found my lens cover, amazing dog! <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... oflmao.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rotflmao:' />

LMAOL!!!!



Yeah - at the end of the day when you realize that you had that many laughs..... it was a good day! Friends were missed..... but we still had an awesome time!!!!



(Still can't believe I didn't roll or break something though!!! that's something else for the field kit.... Valium! )

CRAZY!!



Ah well.. she's in the shop now safe and sound. No problems driving home... in fact got phenom gas mileage the whole 3 hour drive back - at one point 18 MPG and averaged 14!! No friction on the front diff I guess...



Pretty crazy how well she performed for the rest of the day huh? No front end torque, just rear wheel drive. Still climbed a few crazy hills and crossed some deep water. LOVE my truck!!



Thanks everyone for the great day. It really was so nice out there. The scenery was amazing, and so were you all for helping me and making sure I got out safely.

I am making a new post for SEPTEMBER RUN...
