Just wondering how much articulation stocks h3 have. If so what rti number did you get. Here's my 4runner about 680rti, and the jeep about 1050rti. I havent had a chance to ramp the h3 yet, If i do go, ill take some pics.

What degree ramp are you using? That affects the index. I think 20 degrees is typical, but I have seen 18, and have heard of ones up to 30 degrees.

Motor Trend tested a stock H3 on 20 degree ramp, and came up with an RTI of 521.

These are some good RTI numbers. Were the stabilizer bars connected or disconnected?

The sway bars were disconnected front and back on both vehicles. The jeep benefits hugely from disconnecting. The 4runner gained maybe 100 or so by disconnecting. IFS is not good for articulation :( .
I wonder if the H3 number was with the sway bars connected, probably was.

I'm sure it was. It was just part of their road test. The numbers on the new '07 Wrangler Rubicon look pretty good, especially with the electric disconnecting sway bar. Jeep is claiming 652 with the stabilizer bar engaged, and 832 without.

Rok, I really like that Jeep, but it's too clean underneath!:eek:

What's been done to it? I'm not a fan of Duelers, how do you like them?

I no longer have the jeep, or the 4runner. I started 4wheeling with the 4runner but then i scratched up the side wheeling, so i bought a jeep 4banger put on some 33's, and decided it was a snail. so i sold that and bought the 6cyl TJ put alot of time and money into this jeep, did some hardcore wheeling for 5 yrs. Then i got into motorcycling, loved the yamaha R1 so much i stopped wheeling. So i sold the jeep and the 4runner and bought a grand cherokee. After 2 years sold the grand cherokee and wanted to get into light-med 4wheeling again, so i bought the hummer.
I actually liked the dueller MT's, but only had them on the jeep for a few months. I wanted to upgrade from the 33's to 35's so i bought a set of GoodYear MTRs which were a great tire. Too much to list for the jeep, basically, about 6" teraflex lift, warn 9500hs winch, lots of performance stuff, ARB lockers front and rear, lots of custom skit plates, bumpers, yada yada.. had about 13k in upgrades on the jeep.
