2nd H3T Alpha test
Got about 3000 miles on my second H3t Alpha.(1st test report here http://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=34738) Went for a color tour up to West Branch Michigan this weekend. Perfect day 70 deg and sunny. Colors about 70%. Averaged 17mpg on the way up. 130 miles up I75 at 75mph. I think the ride was about the same as an H3. I thought the longer wheelbase would give a better ride, but I think the spring rate must be stiffer in the 'T. I believe with a couple hundred pounds in the bed it would be better. Not that it was bad just no better than the H3. Ran some two tracks and some sand hills. I am use to wheeling SWB Jeeps, so the LWB takes some time getting use to. Turning radius is better than my CJ. LWB a definate asset on the hill climbes. Front locker and V8 are great in the sand. Just one pic, should have some more later.

Re: 2nd H3T Alpha test
GORGEOUS FALL PICTURES! I think they have a winner with the H3T Alpha. Do you think the H3T has more body flex on rough offroad trails than the H3 and is there any bed contact or rubbing with the crew cab?

Re: 2nd H3T Alpha test
No bed to cab rubbing. Didnt notice any more body flex that in an H3. Although was not doing anything too extreme.
