Re: Fordyce Creek, California (Renamed: Hell's Halfacre)
Cool pics! Thanks
quick question - what usually causes a front diff to break? too much gas applied with the wheels really turned?

Re: Fordyce Creek, California (Renamed: Hell's Halfacre)
WOW WOW WOW...
Killer pics... Wish I had been there...
We have nothing (that I know of) like that here in TX...
As far as H3 vs. H2 offroad, since I have owned both, I found the H3 to be a little more nimble offroad and just as capable. It was on the highway that I hated the H3!

Congratulations on running another of the mythical Pirate trails. This is going to cause major butthurt for the Pirates.

I've been hearing so many I told you so's the last couple of days. I was a great trip!!!
Yes, that is where she almost sank it.....no worries, a wet fsan belt, a little noise. Dried her out fout for a little bit and kept on motoring. |

It really depends. Sewie did the exact thing I did, he broke, I didn't.
Any sort of torque applied when either of the front wheels have to climb. If both wheels a climbing at the same time it's usually fine. Housing flex causes the ring gear to ride up on the pinion. Then, Kablewie.
It really needs to be fixed so that those of us who do wheel are not being left stranded in the middle of nowhere. Having to be strapped and winched off the trail.
The H3 should be able to do what the other models can do, albeit differently, without the risk of complete failure.
Sometimes you earn it, in the case of the H3 front diff, you usually don't. And that's sad. |

Personally, I'm glad they are on there.
This was a great trail! Did anyone get a pic of Winch Hill 1?

I tinkled, I'm sure. I think I sucked all the air out of the cab too. No time to hyperventilate I just gave it the GAS!
