Should I try this in
my base package H3? I was thinking of two route. One with the driver side wheels in the water and the passenger side wheels negociating the pillars (?). The space between the pillars are 2/3 the tire length. The other route is to go on the side of the dam. The levogauge was reading 30 degrees with the H3 stradding it. It may be 35-40 degrees. There's a "water fall" in the middle.

I would think you would be more off camber with one side down in the water. Keep in mind though, if you drive across on the damn, it is probably very slick where the water spills over. You get to that point and may just slide down.

Did that kind of thing in an H1 and it still slid on the water. He is right you hit the water you are going to slide inot the pilar.

Definitely not. If it was dry the slope would be ok, but wet algae is too slick to drive on like that.

WOAH! Keep in mind the Hummer is rated at 40 % side slope, NOT degrees. (actually about 21 degrees) -- would it make it? Most likely, but is it really worth the risk? I'd be worried about the other route too -- seems like your right tires may sink down farther if they have a gap and all that weight pushing down. How deep is that water? From just looking at the pictures, I would not recommend it. Upon closer inspection you may feel otherwise -- but proceed with caution!

Re: Should I try this in
Looks like it's shallow enough and wide enough to just drive on through.
