It’s been a little while since I’ve checked in here. I’ll give a quick update on what’s been happening.
My family is now moved to Indio Hills in Coachella Valley. We live right on the San Andreas Fault . My back yard has a wicked wash/canyon that I will eventually run (lots-o-rocks). Across the street is the Southern end of Joshua Tree National Park. I’ve taken an old “road” up through this area and added some new pin striping, punctured a tire, ripped off a flare and bent my new Slee tie rod. Fun stuff . I’ll post pictures when I get them off of my mother-in-law’s camera.
We are still in the process of getting the paper work together for "the shop". In the meantime, I’ve picked up a job as a tour guide for a private company located in Palm Springs. We do “back country tours” taking folks on off road adventures, exploring parts of Joshua Tree and the fault line. I get paid to wheel . The company uses HUMMERs for the tours. I’ve driven both H1’s and H2’s on tours. My opinion of the H2 has changed since I now have first hand experience with them. They’re pretty damn nice trucks. Would I trade my LC for one? NO. But they do come stock with 35’s. The H2 is a perfect vehicle for this kind of work. People associate them as being rugged, adventurous, and outdoorsy. They are large and roomy. Plus they can handle SOME off-road action. I enjoy driving them. Oh and did I mention, I get paid to wheel?
