hi all -- Davis M/3Hummers told me about this site so I decided to check in and say hi

hi


My truck is a '97.5 td open top with 39.5 iroks, front/rear lockers, 12 bolt steelies/beadlocks, rock-ram, king 3" shocks...all sitting on unpredictable, finicky and expensive yet smooth airbags.

Hope I can join in on some trail runs. Here's a recent shot of my truck fresh out of The GMR (great fab shop in Huntington Beach) with nice clean ready to be beat on shocks.

Glad you made it here Ron. We have a run Sept 17th to Big Bear if you can make it.

thanks for the kudos -- I love my truck...still makes me smile after 7 years! The "pods" are air vents/scoops. They are mounted backwards because when you hit 40+ mph in a truck shaped like a brick with a vertical windshield the air actually moves backwards over the rear half of the hood. I mainly wanted to vent hot air outta the engine compartment when the truck is shut off. I blacked out the hood for the gnarly glare on hill climbs.

what trails are you hitting in Big Bear? I am getting ready to re-do my airlines on my truck, but might make one more run with the current set-up. Work usually gets in the way...but maybe I can make this one.

Hey Ron! I saw your thread on another forum that suspension is crazy. Welcome to H4O!

Troy needed a truck with a warranty. He has steering problems for years in his hummer -- something weird with the lift I suspect? His jeep is nice.

The Psycho's have had a few trail fixes and camping trips but my time off is so rare I want to spent it wheeling, not fishing or driving a dirt road. They are cool guys and I am sure there are some fun trips coming up.

Ron is one of my fellow PsychoSquad members. Great guy, great wheeler. Nothing to serious on Big Bear, just a shakedown run before Moab. Ron, we will be in Moab October 8-15 if you can get away.

Looking forward to the build thread. You have a very unique suspension system. I think everyone will find it very interesting.
