HUNNER EXtreme Steering Rack Sleeves

[06 H3]

No high elevation...its tough to walk up those steep climbs at 11k and I am just not used to the extreme altitudes yet with bad lungs it will be even worse.

Decided to do a little "rack whacking" on the way to the lake. So I stopped in at Superlift to run a few trails and work that new 2 inch sleeve/bushing. Field testing Hunner mods is a tough job but well, you know that one.................and it's my job! Never offer a mod before it's time and properly abused, uh I mean used.
I asked if the level 3 trails were still level three or had erosion and traffic done a number on them. "Oh, they are in good shape we dozed a few of them and added some since you were here." hmmm yeah I will proceed with caution by myself and with no one to spot.
First thing off the Hwy 1 Superlift main trail I wanted to go up the gas line. I used to break people in going up and down this. Well that rock on the left of the picture is now sticking up fairly high about two feet. I pulled up to it and it would do a number on the front skid had I proceeded. Glad I did not come down that trail thinking it would be ok. It's also off camber up about that big rock. I wonder if outriggers could be fitted??:whaa:
So rather than press it I checked out some other trails.

This was shot a few years ago looking back from that same place. The line at that time was over behind those red bushes. You can see the pipe line goes on and on.

This guy was not even to that part. He was at the bottom where the trail splits. As usual pictures somehow do not depict the actual angles. I lived to wheel another day!!

I tried some flex to give the pass side mount some pressure. Ever notice how hard it is to open the drivers door at this angle up hill?

I always liked this trail and the scenery at the top.

This is a good place to check that rack.

Everything looks good.

Cool. Looks like a neat place also.

Sleeves/bushings are done, shipping out to me Friday! I got some extra.

:woot:

 

[DJinCO]

Hunner,
Just say when and where you want the money.

 

[Hunner]

I want to wait until I see them!
Thanks

 

[reaper]

Count me in too when you get them.

 

[Hunner]

They did ship late Friday and should make it here Wednesday. I'm ready to start putting the finishing touches on them. I will get me a jig built Monday to hold them in the chop saw. I will send invoices when I open the box.

I think as of right now everybody is covered on this first batch I increased to 50 units.
I want to get enough to have some spares while I'm doing it as new people come along.
Besides having to cut in half I have to shorten those first ones since I discovered the new replacement boots would not fit over them. Glad I tried that. I know I mentioned that before but I like to keep you guys in the loop.
I had a spare 3 inch and modded it to a 2 inch, ground the edges and media blasted it. I sent that one to trailblazer.
Sounds like trailbreaker should have some feed back from a dealer for us after having a current failure.
So that is not out of the batch I ordered.
Yell at me if this does not cover you.:shifty:

 

[3Hummers]

Looks like a successful roll out of a new product.

 

[Hunner]

Just checked and there was a "mechanical failure" never saw that before. Expect one day delay it says.
OK let's do this. Since it will take awhile for everyone to check in on the list to save me some time, as I may be leaving these parts for a Humabout why don't we start now sending me your address so I can make 32 labels!! I probably have 100 or so now from the skids list but this will keep things straight, I hope.
When I get the bushings I will send invoices if you need me to. Indicate that in your email.
I will also announce it is time to paypal when I have them. I'm still being cautious.

So, email your "correct" address to:
1secondwind@comcast.net

be sure and put "Hummer bushing" and your forum name, well not "forum name" but the actual name you use on the forum not "Hunner" but like that. I know you guys......:roll:
in the subject as I don't know what alias you go by in the real world!:shifty: I don't want to open things that I don't know the sender. I just built up a new hardrive and want to keep it clean. I might even switch back to the old one.
I will send out the first 20 in one batch when I make the cut the length of the back side and blast them, to the first 20 on the list that get me their address.
Then I will need some time to make that cut and reduce the length to 2 inches on my first order before I figured out about the boot.
When I get that done I will continue down the list and send them to anyone else that is added to the list. I have 50 coming but I will hold back a couple for research.
I'm waiting...........:shifty:

E-mail sent. No hurry necessary!

 

[Bigunit]

Hunner,
No hurry either but I''ll send you my info tomorrow morning. Thank you sir!

 

[Portager]

Hunner if you have any extras can you add me to the list?

 

[Hunner]

They are getting closer. They are taking a tour of the East! Made it from PA to KY. Says Thursday by end of day.
Going to TSC for my blasting media. Best deal on Black Beauty coal slag.
Got a new water separator on the mid size compressor and the big one so I can keep things dry. Probably fire up Big Black Momma for more capacity and steady pressure. Plus it's outside so it is not as noisy in the shop, huh you talkin tome':shifty:
I'm gearin up!

 

[3Hummers]

Looking forward to getting this installed.

 

[f5moab]

I forgot to add "hummer bushing" to the email:gaah:

Patiently waiting. :woot:

I am so pumped for this mod. I can definitely tell my rack bushing is out. There is a good amount of play and this should fix it. I will throw some red paint on it and it will go in asap.

 

[f5moab]

I'm waiting until after next Februry to install mine. That will be it's four year anniversary so the gear will be off warranty and no $hit from a dealer. Besides; going to try and get a new rack this winter off warranty.:thumbs:

So Hunner, if you have some who need it for the first shipment and going to install right away (other than Big Unit:giggle I can wait until the last shipment. But let me know when you start charging so I can paypal you right away.

 

[Hunner]

Notta problem, your first out of this batch. I sent that spare I already had to trailblazer so he will hopefully stickit in there and report.:shifty:

:giggle:

Thanks Hunner. Email sent with my info. You can go ahead & send me f5's too & we just won't tell him.

On a serious note Doug, I am sending something your way that I've been holding for you. I'll give it to Alex to give to you. Do you remember waht it is?
