Default My Rubi's first Hummer recovery!

Not the greatest picture...since it was pitch black outside and taken with a cell phone. One of my employees wanted to know where I got my Jeep muddy this past weekend. Told him about the trail and that I wouldn't recommend him trying it in his H3. Well...I got the phone call @ about 8:30 last night LOL. His front end was buried and up past the nerf bars. Great excuse to try out my new ARB recovery strap. Besides all the fancy pinstripes my Jeep acquired, I pulled him out without any issue



After I got him out

You need one of those decal on eBay that reads:Hummer recovery vehicle

Cool. Although I'll give your buddy credit just because the only hummer I have
Ever seen off road was in Moab and that was a tour group.

ah the H3, hahaha, yes theres a couple of them in the tiney town i drive down too for food (by tiney town i mean literally a population of 3k now that theres an oil boom in the state, was 1500 before the bakken mess).

these h2's h3's are why i got the "IF I WANTED A HUMMER I WOULD CALL YOUR SISTER" sticker on my rubicons rear window!

the h3's are pretty enough, but they dont seem to be made for off pavement travel.

Actually I have read that the H3 will run circles around the H2 and is the better offroader by far. In reality if you want an affroading Hummer you best dig deep, and go with the H1.

the h1 was a respectable enough vehicle, great ground clearance, plenty of power, removable top, took up 2 full size parking spaces or 17 compact ones! the h3 just seems like it wants to be a jku when it grows up though

I thought about getting a sticker...just to mess with my buddy. That was until he put a For Sale sign in his window this past weekend. He's now Rubicon shopping
