    Anyone Driven a ZR2?

    It will be a cast iron diff. My H3 has a front locker from the factory and it has held up great. Like any ifs diff, easy on the skinny pedal

    Punishment for Death Valley Racetrack idiot

    Maybe the name of the trail is taken too literally.

    >Sigh< More vandalism in Death Valley

    This could tie into the negatives of "overlanding becoming trendy". Draws in some of the people who don't really appreciate it

    Has Overlanding Become Trendy?

    True. People who don't truly love it will drizzle out because doing something you don't truly enjoy becomes difficult to keep up

    Has Overlanding Become Trendy?

    I think overlanding itself has not necessarily become trendy but certainly the gear has. Car camping has been around and a lot of overlanding goes hand in hand with just off-roading. But throwing the label "overlanding" on it and having all this specific gear for overlanding has made everything...

    Camping with 2 big dogs

    My Great Pyrenees takes up the entire second row. So I don't even count it as cargo space. We sleep in the RTT and the giant sleeps in the backseat. The two little dogs sleep in the front seats. No way to get the big dog into the RTT, plus he is afraid of Ramps and bridges

    Truck and Jeep Fest at the San Mateo Expo Center March 18-19

    Our club (Diablo4Wheelers) does security for the event. I won't make it to the event this year (honeymoon) but you get good deals and see a lot of cool rigs, mostly Jeeps but not just Jeeps.

    What's your MPG (fuel economy) on the road.

    I think a lot of vehicles have a sweet spot, same for mine. Big diff between over 70 and under 70

    If you had to start over, what different rig would you start with?

    Given what's available now, my choice for a NEW vehicle would be a Colorado ZR2 with the baby Duramax

    If you had to start over, what different rig would you start with?

    Yeah. I flew to Arizona from the SF Bay Area to pick mine up and drove back. Was looking specifically for the Adventure Package. Lots of H3s without lockers being sold around me. Have to search hard for one with a rear locker let alone two

    If you had to start over, what different rig would you start with?

    I feel the same way!!! Rare indeed, especially Alpha models with front and rear lockers.

    What's your MPG (fuel economy) on the road.

    V8s were available in the "Alpha" package from 2008-10. Stronger front diff also. Front locker was added 2009-10. The V8 H3s came with 4.10 gears instead of 4.56s which came with the 5cyls. There isn't much power loss jumping to 35s until you're climbing steep grades on the highway.

    What's your MPG (fuel economy) on the road.

    Didn't want to post til I had more averaged data, 2010 Hummer H3 Alpha 5.3 V8, 35" KO2s. Highway I usually get 13-15 going ~70mph. City and trail I would say between 10-12. Also notice mpg drops noticeably with RTT on, also drops when using E85 instead of regular gasoline.

    Favorite Trail Meals

    I usually just do sausage dogs on the skottle. Doesn't take long.....skillet or grill works too. Sausages are already cooked and just need to be heated up.
