    Gold Mt looks fun. Currently I'm trying to locate optional factory rock sliders mine came without. After that I'm game. I wouldn't drive that far south just for that. Although I've been thinking Death Valley this fall maybe. Again if H2 fits (main concern for PW, H2 is actually couple inches...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Hi lift jack receiver mount

    I have a Hi-Lift jack and I wouldn't go off road without it. I even carry it on most “on road” trips if it isn't in the way because I'm not sure the OEM jack is tall enough to get the tires off the ground since I upgraded to 35" tires. I installed my jack inside the bed on my cargo slide so it...

    Seems like you have the H3T set-up the way that works best for your needs. Any change to the truck will be in the wrong direction for your primary uses. I would look at a full size 4WD diesel pick-up with a camper as the tow rig. ntsqd; I think you're right on track. Any camper I could get...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West LED Flood lights?

    Nice explaination, breaks it down. I have probably had my Halogen floods light on no more then a couple of times because they drain the battery quick. But I might use LED flood lights much more if I knew they wouldn't drain the battery as quick. What do you think of these, twice as bright as the...

    Too bad H3T didn't get to face off with PW in Fourwheeler testing. That would have been interesting. Power Wagon v Raptor v absent H3T v Tundra, v Megacab 2010 Pickup truck of the year The H3T wasn't included in the 2010 Four Wheeler Pickup of the year because it wasn't new or redesigned for...

    Oh I see. As I understand running ground clearance is basically size of the log you can drive over with front wheels then rear. So nothing within wheelbase protrudes below (aka skid plates, cross members, muffler, t-case, etc). That also would dictate breakover angle O, Hummer called that...

    One option was RV which is quite close to upgrading horses. I said similar ability not the same. it's hard to measure abiltity in percentages. Quoting manufacturer's manual: While under axle clearance is somewhat(1/2") better on H3T. PW has it beat on running clearance by good margin. Although...

    I don't think you can reinforce door enough. Even mounting on the back of camper would be a problem without serious reinforcements. Easiest would be making swing arm sideways-C shaped. Of course that would put good deal of leverage on mount/latch. Yea, I was joking about hanging the spare on...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West LED Flood lights?

    Yes, I know they aren’t cheep. I've been wanting to add them to my truck for off road backup lights for months, they just don't make it to the top of my priority list. The way I see it, the RI Dually's would provide 30% more light and they would run 3.67 times as long on a battery charge. If I...

    You know some people order a "shell" with an extra window on the drivers side, so maybe your photoshop friend doesn't need the matter-transmuter and he got it right. Plus, I would NOT worry about the amount of overhang shown in the photo, my ATC is 6" longer than my truck bed and it works...

    Here is a wikipedia link that explains Luminous efficacy and also luminous efficacy which is the efficiency of converting electrical power into visible light detectable of the human eye (i.e. the portion of the spectrum that is detectable my human eyes integrated over the eyes detection...

    Thanks for the replies. I've gotten some good input from this thread. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that everyone on this forum prefers the camper option. It would be a very good solution if I could get one to fit my truck. A friend of mine heard I was interested in a FWC camper so he...

    Or sell the H3 buy Power Wagon. Load it up with Hawk or whatever and be set. Similar off-road ability: Lockers Fr and Aft, factory 12k winch, front sway bar disconnect, fits 35s. Even mileage wouldn't be a lot worse. I picked up my camper at Four Wheel Campers in Woodland. Averaged about 12.5...

    Welcome to WTW, portager. :) Hmmm...you do have a non-standard pickup...sounds like you've thought through your options pretty well. Maybe there's an Option 5 that would affect the other four: Travel in northern Canada/Alaska where they don't have snakes...? You have a point, but I like warm...

    Hello; Just found this site and it seems to have a lot of information so I signed up. My wife and I are into rock hounding, gold prospection and meteorite hunting so we purchased a Hummer H3T pickup two years ago. We like to be able to reach very remote sites where the diggings are better. I...
