Default Re: Anyone wheel their H3 ?

I dunno why you guys are buggin out - I don't care about H2 its way out of my price range and way to big to fit on the trails here, so any information regarding how a H2 is better isn't helping my cause.

Thanks everyone for all the useful info, timgco your post was a big help I appreciate.

What kind of modifications to the front diff/axle shafts/steering would be necessary for them to hold up for the most part to 37" tires ? Reason I ask is because if I get on the same boat where I need to spend serious $$$ to upgrade the diff its kind of a lateral move for me then.

I had a response for you nie, about a half hour ago, but after all that H3 - H2 stuff, I forget. Sorry. FWIW, I think you'll like the H3.

There is no doubt that the H2 is a crazy capable truck, but again, there are places where the H3 excels and leaves the H2 behind. Rubicon is an example.

Not to mention driver experience, H2'ers have 3 years on us. And really, that's what it all comes down to.

However, for the H3 weaknesses, which have been either modified and/or changed completely, it has definitely improved it's capability, mostly due to the folks on this board who have made the mistakes and the improvements.

Remember, the H3 has only been out for 3 years, and the H2 needed some improvements too before it became the rig it is today.

Now, talk to me again after I do my spring over this winter, and turn my hangers into mosquito bites.....LOL

More lift and support for the Beberhino

Nothing to get hung up on then.....The last weakness on the H3.

Tire size: Fixed
Front leveling: Fixed
Front Diff: Fixed
Hangers: PHIXED

soooo much argument the new guy is probably like im outta here...but if your still here! Let me start off by saying I love my H3....The H2 is big and more expensive but if your worried about fuel consumption the H3 with 35"s or 37"s and a level or lift will get the same fuel economy as a stock H2...but all that aside the H3 wheels great if the H2 isnt in your price range i wouldnt think grab an H3...Im a florida guy so I dont have the rock experience the moab people have but i have a ton of water fording and mudding experience and let me say the H3 is AWSOME...i have just a stock H3 and Ive gottent through areas my friends lifted FJ on 33" mud terrains wasnt able to get through and my friend with a a 4" lift and 35" mt mud terrains on a jeep werent able to get through...the H3's main benifit in my opinion is this the trails i run down in florida are BARELY wide enough to fit the H3, an H2 in no means would ever even get 5 feet into it...ive seen some try. the H3 is also a lighter vehicle giving an adventage again in some areas. both have their +'s and -'s but one thing is certain the rock and mudding and all that stuff can be argued the hell out of but compare two things stock..the H3 can take 4 more inches of water and thats something that cant be argued!
Happy wheeling!

OK, I get it.......3's are better than 2's.

We can say that...... but not the other way around?
