Thoughts on my H2...

Seriously, though, I'd love to be able to just ride in one that doesn't rattle...just for the experience.

Maybe I'm just lucky, but 29K on 06 H2, not one peep--except when all the little guy's toy airplanes and tanks in the door pouch, thingy rattle together ocassionally.

I do recall being concerned the first time I had a big rock stuck in the MTs, when driving along and hearing "tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!"

But seriously, mud only finds you, you never go looking for mud. There is no satisfaction or even a challenge in mudding. ANY RIG or ANYONE experienced or beginner will get stuck in the mud.

As for the rattles, either my 80's music is on way too loud, or the guys who assembled my 03 were on the ball that day.

3 tours in Moab (Golden Spike, Poison Spider, Hells, Body Snatcher, Tater Salad, Escalator), Westcoast wheeling in Norrish, Chipmunk Mountain, Whipsaw, Canopener, Grinder Mountain and Eagle Ridge dozens of times over the years on slick rock, bastard rock, loose rock, sidewalks, trees, sapplings, stumps and 1 human foot, with no major problems. Not even a tie-rod. Just alot of little dents, gouges and irreversible paint damage due to deep pin stripping. Top it off with an annual alignment. And believe me, I don't hold back because I'm worried about carnage.

But ya, I think I'm due for a big break one of these days.

Still, the H2 has taken me there and safely back home with no problems.

I have two or three rattles. I know where they are coming from, just too lazy to fix it.
