Default Re: Why the FJ Cruiser is no Threat to the H3

The argument that those pictures don?t mean anything because they are corporate owned vehicles is ridiculous. They are still stock vehicles and while it?s true they might be pushing them to their limits they are not breaking them, other than scratched and dented skid plates the FJ?s didn?t break anything during there trips to Moab. The H3?s that went to Moab were obviously pushed to their limit and beyond because two of them broke their drivelines on a less difficult obstacle than Potato Salad. If the H3?s would have attempted Potato Salad they would have surely broken.

Potato Salad Hill is one of the most dangerous obstacles in Moab and any stock vehicle that can do it is the real deal. I have seen the video of H2?s on Potato Salad and it was impressive but it's an obstacle that favors wide long wheelbase vehicles that's why it would be even more difficult for the FJ because of its shorter wheel base and smaller tires.

Here are a couple excerpts regarding Potato Salad Hill

?Potato Salad Hill may roll more 4WDs than any other obstacle in Moab. It is so dangerous that the Red Rock 4-Wheelers no longer include it in the official Hell's Revenge trail run.?

?it is no longer an official part of the trail and is very dangerous. Several 4X4s roll there every year and countless more break gears, drive shafts and axles. ?

Rubi rolls
