Thanks for the comments. I bought, and am building the H3 for storm chasing. Hopefully I'll get some shots this spring. A few years back, a small twister ran between my house and my neighbor. I'm in the country. I put all the women, and dogs in the hall and ran out with a Nikon to shoot it. Too dark!!! Ran back in the house and could hear the rafters craking, and twisting from the torque...too cool!!! Storm blew off parts of my roof and blew out my garage door. Damn I love storms... So far, the Hummer has a Predator - Ramsey 8,500 hiden winch, brush guards, tail light guards, hf/vhf/uhf ham radios and antennas. My wife is not giving me a hard time about the new H3!! Pics will follow.

Post some pics of your radio installations! I'm looking for ideas! How did you mount your antennae?

Are you going to change the windshield to bulletproof glass? Couple of threads here about how the front window seems to ctach every rock that gets kicked up, can't imagine what is going to be flying at you in a twister.

Thanks, for the service guys. I got 21 years and counting, still in Iraq and retiring when I get back home. Leica, what about the windows? Are you going to go bullet proof for the debris?[sm=americanasmiley.gif][sm=americanasmiley.gif][sm=americanasmiley.gif]

The windshield is laminated glass so it will hold up well, butI have seen hail go through a windshield.
Don’t know about the space inside the door, but for the level of protection you are looking for it could be applied to the inside of the door panel.
I've never chased a tornado but I've run from a few and seen more than my share as well as the destruction they can leave behind. Yes, I lived in Wichita Falls in 79.
Storm chasersprovide and invaluable service.
