H2 Lancelin to Cervantes with Chris and Ulli

Took a friend who wants to drive his newly acquired Landcruiser to Alice spring on a drive from Lancelin to Cervantes as a training run. I was in the Hummer H2 towing my Bushtracker. Had a lot of fun.

thx for using ur hummer as a hummer, not dressing it up in bling and lowering it.

@williamfsark

Thanks mate, I've really got used to it and don't think I could go back to a 'cruiser or Landrover now. I still get very odd looks when I pull into remote places with the van!! Thanks for looking.

Whats that stuff on your doors

[westozh2]

@tarzwell50 Mate, That's magnetic strip, the stuff sign writers use to make magnetic signs for the sides of cars. I bought a roll 600mm wide by 9M long and ct it into shape of the panels. I carry it in the back & use it to protect the paint as much as possible as I tend to use the H2 for what it was made for. Most likely the only H2 in Aussie to be used properly........thanks for looking.....

@westozh2 Thats a good idea .I think i might try to get something like that. Your right hummers are 4x4 lets use them that way

@tarzwell50 Mate, I picked up the magnetic strip up in Melbourne when I picked up the H2 after it's LHD to RHD conversion. Can't remember the name of the shop but it supplies a lot of businesses. As for using the H2 as a 4x4, it works incredibly well but I have to confess it's thirsty which means I have to carry another full tank of fuel in remote areas...........and always pull up for fuel for peace of mind!!!!!!!!

@ozjas Mate, that cheeky b@stard in the Landcruiser was the reason I got stuck. He was as chuffed as hell that his 'cruiser pulled my Hummer out though !!!!! All good fun. Thanks for looking.

That Hummer is about the only tow vehicle that Ive seen that looks almost as wide as a Bushtracker - LOL.

@elliotmotoX , Mate, this was shot when I first put the rig together and I wanted to know the capabilities of both the H2 and the Bushtracker. It gave me an idea of what it could do so I had the confidence to take it into remote areas and know it would behave. Which I've since done and have been more than happy with it. I must confess it looks far more scratched now than it did then.......

i don't see why you couldn't just like leave the caravan near the entrance
