H3 Hummer Skydiving & WordPress

H3 Hummer Skydiving & WordPress


I like to build websites, specializing in handwritten WordPress Themes. I also sell custom off-road parts for the H3 Hummer. But my real job is skydiving. Literally jumping out of airplanes for money. Anyway, Skydiving, H3 Hummer stuff and WordPress are pretty much what this website is about.

H3 Hummer Parts

It all began with a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I modified to fit 31-inch tires. After that, it was all downhill from then on. Eventually, I built an off-road beast. I enjoyed that Grand Cherokee, but I had the spec sheet of an H3 Hummer. While my H3 is not going to perform off-road as well as that Jeep. That Jeep will never ride as nice as the Hummer on-road. I sold that Jeep and purchased the H3 Hummer, and needed some basic parts for the trails. I started with a set of rock sliders (rocker panel protection) and then just kept designing the next part I wanted.

Then there is the CB / Hi-Lift / Shovel / Bottle Opener custom adjustable height tire carrier I’m working on. I have this leveling platform I’ve been thinking about, so I can fold down the seats and slide a mattress in the back. With the mattress and leveling platform, I would have an impromptu lightweight Overlanding idea of sorts. Thinking about finally creating a bracket for an ARB High Output On-Board Air Compressor because I’m getting tired of finding good gas stations with good air to get the tires from 14PSI back up to 35PSI

Website Designer / Developer

Sometimes I specialize as a WordPress Theme developer. There are a couple of free themes on WordPress.org that I’ve written and also a few premium plugins to add extra features. Everything is written from scratch and run on a GoDaddy Virtual Private Servers running Centos 7, Apache, MySQL, and PHP 7. I completely avoid using JavaScript for fear of conflicts. Using HTML5 & CSS3 tricks to their full potential. All so the customer can manage their website without any help. Comparatively, managing the website is just as easy as using Microsoft Office.

Skydiving

I jump out of “Perfectly Good Airplanes.” Mostly, I’m taking people on their first skydive. But now and then I also get to fun jump too. I also teach students how to skydive, signing off on their A-license requirements. Sometimes, I join people on their first skydive and shoot photos and videos for them. While falling at 120mph, I fly up in front of the tandem students and start playing with them. Typically I start by trying to get them to high-five. Next, I try to get the tandem student to hold onto my ankles and spin them around, and I like to finish up by playing rock paper scissors right before pull time. Watching their faces light up with excitement is so much fun.

However, there is more to Skydiving than making money. Check out these fun jumping videos!

  • Hell's Revenge


    In 2009, the week before Easter I headed to Moab, Utah so that we could avoid the Easter Jeep Safari. I wanted to be at the Easter Jeep Safari, but the group I was with decided that the trails would get so busy that Moab wouldn’t be as fun as the week before. I think…

  • Solid Axle Upgrade


    The rear axle on all H3 Hummers are originally equipped with a solid AAM 860 axle. This axle is commonly referred to as the GM 8.6. This GM 8.6 axle is very well suited for off-road applications and hold up quite well. However, the axle does have one particular flaw. The differential cover that seals…

    Between the Hummer Parts, adding features to the two current themes, and staying active in like sports I like, I haven’t had much time to myself. The other day I decided that I would finally get around to fixing my Kawasaki 2006 636 Ninja. After having some weird brake issue, and now the shifting has…

    Off-Road Fun


    On last Friday, I drove down after work to Badlands Off-Road Park in Attica, Indiana and camped right outside the entrance in there campground. Cooked some food over a campfire while having a great time with some of my best off-road friends. The time change from Illinois to Indiana meant that we show up very…

  • Factory ground clearance on an H3 Hummer is less than ideal at 10 1/2 inches, which is why it constantly gets hung up on the cross-members and ends up looking like a turtle. I was disappointed, to say the least when I realized just how far I had a stepped backward with my H3 Hummer…

  • H3 Hummer 35-inch Tires


    Ever since the H3 Hummer obsession took hold of me, I have noticed a bunch of people visit the site searching for what’s the biggest tire an H3 Hummer can fit. Also, I’ve noticed searches for whether or not it is possible to put 35-inch tires on an H3 Hummer. Yes, thirty-five-inch tires will fit…

  • High Clearance Redesign


    The other day I sold out of my High Clearance Leaf Spring Mounts for the H3 Hummer, which makes me proud to say that I’m actually starting to make a business out of building off-road parts. Since I’m completely out of them at this moment I have decided to redesign them a bit so that…

    Hey the website might look a little odd here or their, but that is just some construction going on. I have been rewriting all my code because of this crazy idea where I re-size the content based on “em” instead of pixels and so far it seems to work really well. Everything on the website…

    I happened to attend the Mitt Romney Victory Rally in Cedar Rapids on October 24th, 2012 at the Landmark Aviation Airport. When I arrived at the airport I was immediately greeted by police that told me to turn around and drive to the “Post Mills” building down the road 3 miles so I could ride…

  • Team Fortress 2


    I’m a big fan of the game Team Fortress 2 (TF2) ever since the first version of Team Fortress Classic came out back in 1999. It was possible to get a head-shots using a 56k modem connected to the internet back then, but sadly those days are long gone. Seeing as I’m currently using only…
