Hey everybody, I was just wondering if any of you h3 owners have ever done a pull off/tug of war with another vehicle? If so how'd that turn out and who'd you pull against? (Just curious)

well i hooked up to a 97 fj cruiser. both with 35's and in 4 high then in 4 lo and we both just dug holes. we hooked up again on pavement and i got maybe 6 inches before it was a stalemate once again! i agree its a dumb idea and just a pissing contest but can't turn down a challenge to show that the hummer is not just a grocery getter!!!!!

One guy in a Cummins with reworked transmission and gears I said nooooo. That would have been instant death. The I tried with an H1 and lost of course but I'm smart enough not to be doing that often

Sorta. Got into it with a Jeep Grand Cherokee, and pieces began flying off before we were finished. We started off in soft sand and I ended up dragging him about 2 miles over sand, dirt and some rock.

Closest I ever got was from a neighbor that kept parking here Mini in front of my garage. Put the tow strap on the front left wheel on the Mini and dragged it down to the end of the block. Pretty much idled it down in low range and tranny in third gear.

Hah! I can imagine that went over well.

I think most H_ guys realize there isn't much in the way of replacement for their vehicles like the Chevy/Ford/Dodge guys have so pulls are rare.

It was very effective. She never parked there again. I think the skid marks down the alley gave her a fresh reminder every day.

One of my favorite hummer stories.

Did this between my Grand Cherokee and a friend's Jeep Commander on his airstrip but it was on black ice with 2 inches of snow two Christmases ago. I won and little to no stress on the drivetrains thanks to the slippery conditions but a nearby Ford Festiva fell victim to the Commander as I dragged him down the runway. Just a small dent, nothing major, whew!

You'd beat the jeep and loose to the f-150 most likely.

If you do this, put as much heavy stuff as u can inside and try to lift f150s rear end with strap when u pulling to give him as little traction as possible.
