i couldn't have said it better myself!!



i took great offense to the comments by that one and in absolutely no way is he accurate in what he says. i found this group when i was playing around in waiparous and stumbled across a convoy of hummers coming down the road and man did my heart jump!!! when I officially found the club and joined, i was welcomed into the group with open arms and that has been the way ever since. i couldn't ask for a better group of people that is devoted to the philosophy as no one being left behind. not everyone has a winch and do you know why?<img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... #>/huh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='???' />... it's a very simple concept.... we stick together and we watch out for each other. i am proud to call each and everyone of these fine people my friends and i think that will last a long time!



sorry...getting a little emotional there too...



ALBERTA PROUD, CANADIAN HUMMER CLUB PROUD, & H2 PROUD!

Yes well put Johnny, I have been watching this one close. The one thing that gets me a little emotional is when someone slams someone else about what they drive. I go out with everyone from a Jeep to a ford pick up just to get out with someone else that has the same interest is awesome. As for the getting drunk and going commando in the lake do not agree with. Yes I have had a beer on the trail with lunch most of us have!!! Getting drunk your just asking for it but to each his own.

A little story for you all:



My first 4x4 was a Jeep yj a real jem <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... oflmao.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rotflmao:' /> but it was mine!!! I was and still am a member of jeepkings some great guys there. I decided as I did with this site to go out with a bunch of fellow jeepers had a great time until we got to our destination!!! I was at the back of my Jeep checking out my first war wound when a chap from the group came over and started to slam my jeep saying "What a piece of shit" Well I walks over him not knowing I was the proud owner and listened to what he had to say about my Jeep, when he finished I asked him what he was driving he pointed out his rig very nice he had a fewwwww million invested and he made a point of rhyming off everything that was done!!!! When he finished I looked at him and started to laugh he asked me what`s so funny I replied ``you spent all that money and I spent 600 bucks to get back here for the same view!! This chap ruined it for me to go out with a group. Shortly after I started to go out alone <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... adbang.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':headbang:' /> not a good thing!!!! it took another fellow Jeeper to show me that one guy does not speak for the whole community!!!



When I first got my Hummer I got that alone feeling again as an off roader.



When I found this site and started to watch it from a distance to see what this family was all about, looked to be the same as jeepkings just a little closer. I will always be thankful to Derek he makes this site a family from coast to coast. If he had not made the trek up to my neck of the woods I would still probably never found out how GREAT this community is!!!



I support this site 110% not just because we own Hummers but because the majority have an open mind and are open to new experiences.



I`m starting to ramble on here <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... /blink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' />



My point about this is we all drive something we like, we all like to off road we all like to get together with our ride weather it be at a coffee shop or on the trail there are fewer and fewer of us doing this we need to stick together!!!



Cheers

John

You guys are killing me!

Let me reflect on my first meeting with Harold (2N3RPFG)--way back in '08ish.....

The Alberta CHC gaggle had met at Timmies in Cochrane for a Waiporous run and were staging the HUMMER's in a row for poser pics when I realize there's a 1 in the bunch. Cool, I'd never wheeled with a 1 before, this might be fun. Harold musta been off getting doughnuts or something, but we started looking at his license plate and trying to sort out what it meant. I got pretty hot when I figured it out--who is this clown thinking he's driving something better, I need to kick his ass were my thoughts at the time. Then Harold pops up, much bigger than me, and I'm thinking he'd clean my clock pretty quick if I said something anyway. Then I actually met him and his family, great people, and spent the next day and a half wheeling with him and the rest of the Alberta crowd--this was a camping trip; I still remember the firecrackers, mostly because I launched one in somebodies hair that night (pretty sure they were in Harold's group).

Anyway, I let him pull my H3 out of a really bad stuck, just wanted to bolster his ego about having a 1---OK, maybe it was more because I was scared at that point that I'd done something really wrong to the 3 and the 1 was just the ticket to help get me out.

Turns out Harold's a hell of a guy with a really nice family. He just happens to have an Alpha that he's not afraid to get dirty. I learned to respect someone crazy enough to put that much money in the mud, even if what we were getting stuck in was pretty much a non-event for him!

I got to run with the Alberta crowd again last year, another great time, all the H3 guys had traded their trucks for H2's, and Harold was there with the Alpha, ready to run again. And we had fun again.....

So anyway, about this new guy with attitude--he actually sounds like a Jeep guy to me because that's exactly what a Jeeper friend of mine kept saying about the H2's until he actually saw me wheel it. Then he shut up about the Tahoe thing.

So, uh, yeah, we wheeled in Alberta, maybe short on some tools we should have had, and short on spares we needed to carry. I can vouch for the straps being available, because I was on the receiving end of one or another quite a few times! But, right after those runs, Sugarphreak started a post about tools and spares we should bring and ideas who should pitch in to get them and carry them. Wheel and learn I guess.

The Alberta group has learned quite a lot since I caught up with 'em in 08'ish.

So when I'm able to make it back up that way, as much as it sucks, I won't have the deuce (too far to travel), I'm planning on conning 2N3RNFG into letting me have a seat, even if it means being the strap gopher sitting in the bed. So you all need to play nicely, ladies!

No worries, eh?

..... looking forward to seeing you again on one of our runs..... but yes... u have a ways to go now..... when are you going to get stationed in montanna??? that's a quick nice drive!! i love it there! u can tell they also like the albertan's coming down as they totally nice and i dont get a cavity search like some of the other border crossings...

[brianwidahl]

absolutely bud

4hrs was a little to long tho

how ever they look sick



post up lets see

[Khamul]

absolutely, i'm going to make a post tonight as i wanna get one during the day so everyone can see how they look during the day and i want to get one a night so the full effect can be seen...



end of the day, they are bright but no where near the insaneness the guy was talking about so he has obviously never seen the hid's or the xenon types are he would be blown away by them.



so with all 4 it's too bright for everyday use, but i think i may get away with the 2 outer ones so gunna try it and see if i get highbeamed...



still plan on a set of dually's though as i like the white light they give...
