Re: Finally!!!! H2O - H3 Spy shots!!!
Iv wheels many times in my H3. With me being the only one in it and also with 3 other people in it. If you think about it that like an average of an extra 500-600lbs. The engine doesnt seem to struggle while "Crawling" with that extra weight. Im not sure how much those bumpers weight, but I dout that they are 600lbs.

You seem to be the the all american pro of 4 wheeling here Wow, is that like an official title? Does it come with a T-shirt? so please give us advice on what donkey kong said ? Why? Funny how no one has disputed anything that donkey kong said on here I wander WHY ? You're still new here so I'll give you some more time to think about it. They are the one that made it sound like you were not going to go wheeling again with out getting stuck WERENT THEY ?

Did you figure it out yet? No, then I'll help you out a bit. Donkey Kong is a bitter AE. I don't need or even want to respond to his BS.
You on the other hand, come off as a punk ass, zit popping, little troll. How about you post up some pics of that H3 of yours with the 35's. Otherwise, STFU.

Re: Finally!!!! H2O - H3 Spy shots!!!
Just a side note for the Kid, wheeling ability has little to do with weight as long as you have the power and torque to move it. Weight can help you keep that rubber on the ground. Its wheelbase. Thats why the samuri does so well and full size trucks dont. It doesn't get hung up in the middle because the wheels are so close together. Fullsize vehicles have an easier time with obsticles like The Golden Crack where a stretch is needed.
And the bumper ish. I know what Donkey is saying, but the loss of angle is going to be so minimal, compared the protection to your front and rear end, and winch mount up high. Pros far outweigh cons, and looks f-in wicked tough at that.
Avoid bad take off angles and hit the obsticle at an angle not straight ahead, no big deal.

wrong
you have a finite amount of contact patch area. The more weight you add to a vehicle the more that finite area has to keep grip and move. Gravity is working against that in any climbing situation, so the weight is trying to transfer downhill, causing the the truck to slide. More weight, more slide.
Weight has has a TREMENDOUS amount to do with wheeling ability. No matter how much power you apply, if the contact patches can't grip due to the overwhelming weight, you are going nowhere.

Re: Finally!!!! H2O - H3 Spy shots!!!
So do you guys think a couple hundred lbs on the front will affect traction in this case?
