Gravel Road Skydiving, H3 Hummer, & WordPress
I view challenges as opportunities for growth. While parting ways with my previous employer, a long-time supplier of H3 Hummer parts, was a significant change, it also presents a chance to pursue long-held goals. I’ve been dissatisfied with the quality of welds, limited order quantities, slow design revision cycles, and lengthy shipping times. This new…
Just the other day, while driving back from a weekend of packing parachutes at Skydive Alabama, my H3 Hummer crossed over the 130,000 mileage mark on the odometer. I think that my H3 has entered it’s proving grounds now. This mileage period from now on shows how well built the vehicle really is. With a…
Couple times every week, I like to browse on over to the website Art of Manliness, and read about the things they talk about and discuss on their website. Recently I came cross “How to Make the Best Beef Jerky in the World,” which I found interesting. For the longest time I thought you needed…

Update – February 10th, 2013 This post has become dated, and no longer reflects my views now. Defelice Off-Road skid plates are basically non-existent at this point in time. In response to that, I have designed my own heavy-duty skid plates for the H3 Hummer and sell them at a lower price point. While Defelice’s…
Picking up from yesterday when I discussed how I’m really interested in buying a Hummer H3 to replace my Jeep and that I’m excited to run down the specs of the H3 today is because of all the things I will not have to modify on the H3. So beginning with a bit of a…
Not long ago I wouldn’t have even considered typing this, but here I am typing. “I have decided that I want to sell my Jeep and get an H3 Hummer.” I’m eating so many words from when I was younger but it doesn’t bother me at all, in fact, it feels good typing that. I…
