Re: Big Bear Rocks
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!

Re: Big Bear Rocks
Many thanks to all of you, I had a great time!!! Extra thanks to RonB & H2Finally for the excellent spotting! Without you two, my H2 definitely would've suffered much more than a few nicks.
And thanks for the kind words guys, truth is, I chickened out on John Bull  After running Gold Mountain, which is the hardest stuff I have done so far, I took off before I was going to have a heart attack or seizure up there
Here are a few photos I took. Now please post more of the yellow h2 because I know I did a whole lot more than just rock garden

At least you showed up Fred. I wimped out as soon as heared where you guys were going. At 1st it was just a ride up a mountain on a fire road, then the rocks. I was out |
