Hey guys, So some of you (probably most) might remember my BS postings from 2010 (or maybe not...) , and the uproar that I caused by them.

Id like to apologize to all of you, for being an ignorant, immature child about your criticism and everything as a whole. I was just curious, and couldnt handle the heat. After listening to experienced people, and learning as much as I can about wrenching/rigs so far, Ive come a long way. Hopefully by september I should have my new rig and hopefully see...

Bought a Hummer H1 with 38.5 inch Thornbirds on it (Although theyre pretty cracked and im curious if its big enough of a deal that I should change them, and the fact that they have horrible reviews everywhere.....)


Have any experience with them?

Welcome back, and hope you are doing well (I vaguely remember an insurance settlement for an accident being a part of it). Sorry if I came across as an ass back then myself, nothing but good natured ribbing was meant by it.

Thornbirds are often referred to as Thornturds for being a crappy tire, but I've got no first hand experience with them. Depending on how cracked they are, it'd be more of a concern running them on the street than the trail to me. If you're still running the military double beadlocks, take a look at Pitbull when you are looking at replacements as they are one of the few companies still making a lot of tires for the 16.5" rims. Thinking about a set of Radial Rockers myself down the road.

And like 2Greys said, it'll be interesting to see it on the trail, although it can't be any wider than Brad's rig :flipoff:

Thanks for the welcome back!

And thanks Kunker, everything is turning out just great, and it happens, I knew you all were just a bunch of knowledgeable guys trying to steer me in the right direction.

And as for narrow trails, and the width of the hummer rubbing stuff is just part of it. Windshield protector and a brushgaurd on order! And as for the tires, I will take a look at some Pitbull stuff, and the truck will be put on the road to drive to and from events (and to run around occasionally) so I dont know if the cracks will become an issue. I will put some pics up when I get the truck in my driveway and get your opinions on them!

Cheers,

James

Click to expand...

The H1 is narrower by about a foot :p

I know Dave used to take his H1 on Carp without issue.

Oh and the good thing about the Hummer too, is that its open top (and I have the soft doors for it too...Or no doors) so its a fair bit lighter than youd think.

7600 pounds aint bad!

And berger, Where are you in Stittsville?
