the Hummers ? they are getting the final improvements completed. Robby will see something he can improve on & it's best to do it at the shop , before they get loaded up. He is 100% hands on .

Did he get that rear hub problem fixed? And whats the deal on the intake restricter plate this year?

The rear hub problem from the Central European Rally and the Baja 500 has been addressed and tested in the 2009 and 2010 South American Dakar. The rear inflators have been redesigned and tested so I think the answer to your first question is yes...

The Hummers look great!  So what has been done to the inflation system to correct last years issues?  Is there still a hose dangling of the side of the car?  And does anyone have the current specs on this year Hummers? Motor output, transmission, any new gadgets? TOG? Thanks. Cant wait anymore..

No more hoses. The inflators are built into the hub.

On Both Hummers? The Orange has a silver hub , the black a black hub.

Here is what the hub looks like. Only the small hub to rim hose now. Gone are the dog leashes..

 

 

This is on 327. Be assured 303 has the same technology. Perhaps it was not installed at the time the pic was taken. It will be on 01/01/11
