Kuddos to Ron for the great spotting (only reason I didn't break something -- 'cause I was ready to just smash through anything at the end), and NEO for representin' the H3!!!

Sorry guys we had to turn around. Granted that this is JBT, one of the hardest trail for any stock vehicle (the Hammers is for the heavily modded), but come on -- I was hung up or slippin or slidin every 5 FEET!!! I'm all out of excuses. Bottom line was that was the hardest time I ever had on a trail. Every line I took turned out to be the wrong one. Every time I tried to correct, it got worse. At the end, it wasn't fun anymore, just frustrating, embarrassing, and fukcing maddening and that's when we turned around.

But not to worry, I shall return, and I shall ride the BULL again!!!

There is a happy ending though. On the way home I had a chance to pick up another set of rocker panels I won on ebay (seller live in the area), which was great timing since I bent mine (actually cracked the rock I landed it on!) -- and these new ones are CHROMED BLING-BLING BABY!!!!

Great pics guys! Go Team Hummer!

I remember you doing this run with no issues last time H2F.

What up with that? Could it be the BLING? Do you have air suspension? Maybe it's the BLING? The new undercarraige weigh you down? Could it be the BLING?

the H2 has always made me nervous during difficult climbs -- the front two tires go crosseyed. There were a couple of moments when you were turning while I was spotting and only one tire was turning. I kept waiting for a snap! I guess the H3 being lighter may not be as affected -- at least I didn't notice it happening with Steve's truck.

Horace, are you using 37's or the stock size MTR's (I forgot)? Pretty wierd, I know alot of H1's using those and they love them. You sure couldn't get any grip -- I think we tried every possible line on that initial obstacle with no luck. The rocks were pretty slippery.

One of the jeepers gave me the biggest compliment I've had in a while. After watching me back down that hill and strap you he said my truck was more like a tractor than an suv. I thought that was funny.

I'm glad there was no carnage -- just alot of banging. Your rear diff is probably flattened out!
