Among Wolves...

Thanks for the pics H2Finally. So what was the final consensus at the end of the day?

[H2Finally]

JBT has no climbs, no mud, just lots of ROCKS (FUN! ) The first section is still the toughest -- even with my new 37" MTRs, that big rock in the middle still shaved a few pounds of metal from my rear diff...

My wider H2 tackled this turn...

After the fun rocks, we break for lunch. While eating, a group of modified Jeeps passed by, followed by a seperate group of heavily-modified Yotas.

Everyone of 'em had the same "HUH??" look seing my H2 in the middle of JBT. One asked, "You came from there??? In that????" (shaking his head in disbelief)

Even a deer decided to check out the strange (mostly) STOCK H2 ...

For JBT, I highly recommend upgrading your undercarriage protection. Though the drops (onto rocks! ) are a lot less severe this year, I still scraped the bottom pretty good.

Other than those, my H2 is bone-stock.

If I have air, I prob wouldn't upgrade from my beloved stock ATs..

Btw, SoCal boys, there is a super-cool run this Sat (8/20)to our adopted trail, the 2N17X. I heard this is one of the toughest/funnest trails around nowadays!!

Would love to meet'cha'y'all!

A while back, I kindly invited the now infamous Jerry (moderator of Jeep Forum) to run with my H2. No answer from Jerry, but Ross was kind enough to accept.

On Sunday, we met up and ran John Bull Trail. I cut my off-road teeth on this trail just about a year ago.

To get to JBT, we ran an easy and scenic Gold Mountain trail. This is the end of Gold Mountain:

Great job, buddy. Sounds like you all had a great time.

1. A stock H2 can play and have fun with Jeeps

2. A stock H2 is ALWAYS underestimated

3. A stock H2 is LIKE NOTHING ELSE!!

Personally, I am still curious (other than H1s), what other STOCK rigs can equal or surpass the H2's capabilities.

Nice. Any pictures of the blinding Pewter doing the run? It's always funny when other drivers give that dumbfounded look and then say "How'd you get that in here?".

Nice photos and great job! I'd like to do that trail some day, but it's a loooong way from Colorado. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I left JBT at 5pm, ate dinner and got home at about at 11am (2 time zone changes on the way)
Driving throught to Utah at dawn was nice. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT UNLESS YOU'RE A CRAZY BRIT!!

VT, I got lucky, minor rubbing, no trimming (talking 'bout the 37" MTRs!! )
