yes sir, just took a 5 hour ride in a Hummer on the mountain. Yahooooooooo kick ***!!!!

One Hummer almost tiped over, both wheels in the air by 2 or 3 feet. Glad I wasn't in that one

Heck I must tell you I got scared when the Hummer I was in started to lift the rear wheels...

It gets even better. Try dropping into a high water crossing. One that is deep enough to reach the headlights and go over the hood. The water inside the cab is deep enough to get inside your boots. I can not beleive were we are able to take this thing.

We did go through a river, it is cool

 

When I was stationed in South Korea I was at a Camp that had a small river that ran thru the middle of it. Since tanks were too heavy to cross the bridges over the river - they simply drove down the bank, through the river and up the other side. Some of us used the river to wash our trucks - park in the middle, scrub and throw buckets of water to rinse. People were used to seeing trucks in the river, it happened everyday - all day.

We had a very heavy rainfall for two days. One young soldier was tasked with driving his commander's Hummer (and there is a distinct difference between the military and civilian versions...) to the other side of the Camp. Rather than drive 2 miles out of his way to reach a bridge he figured he'd just drive through the river...

I found him standing in the middle of the river yelling and waving his arms frantically - standing on the roof of his Commander's Hummer waist deep in water. We threw him a line that he thought was meant to pull him out. He was really upset when I made him dive under to tie it to the towing pintle of the Hummer. I pulled the Hummer, with him holding on, out with my 6x6.

I'm told the Hummer was eventually put back into service, as was the soldier. The radio's in the back (it was a commander's rig) were fried and laid to rest.

Thought I'd share that story with ya. I remember the look on that young soldier's face too well to forget.
