Great Video Seth!

Of course, PhilD was up before anyone got there, so it's a good thing you were riding with him. I don't think I got to see him do one obstacle, except the Crack.

VERY EXCELLENT DRIVING GUYS!!!!

I honestly think H2Rocks would have made it.

I`d pay just to hear her DEATH CRY.

Awesome video guys. Whoever went up last was flying.

Great job guys! Next Year!

Great video! I think the Hummer ad that used that music is what made my mouth start watering for an H2.

"And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy!" This made your mouth water?? Uh oh.

She'd probably catch air at the top because she'd be so anxious to get up it.

Again, great video Seth. All the other pics and videos sure do give you the prospective. You guys just plain made it look simple. My hat is off to all of you. Maybe someone needs to combine that video with ones of jeeps not making it for the next batch of jeep trolls that come here to say the H2 isn't capable

Bet you won't see it floating around like pics of stuck H2s.

That was really cool to watch you guys own H2 Salad.

You two think alike because you're both drinking the same recycled water from the ghey bathhouses that gets piped down to SoCal from S.F. Like the chunks?

For a little perspective for those of you that aren't familiar with this hill (it's actually pretty famous thanks to Easter Jeep Safari and the HUGE number of rollovers that have happened on it):

...anyway, you get the point...Alec wasn't kidding when he mentioned broken truck parts everywhere....this ain't no freakin' Hummer Happening...

You guys make this look too easy. Just amazing!

From the vids above I noticed a few things:
1. All of you seemed to drive straight up the "fall line" if the hill.
2. The Jeep guys seemed to drive across the fall line.

3. The Jeeps rolled, you didn't. It seems that driving straight up is the way to go.

Across the fall line is a recipe for disaster.

4. That guy "Ed" from the vids has $hitty luck

5. If you have a Jeep don't attempt to drive Potato Salad Hill!

H2s have the nearly perfect wheelbase for Moab. Jeeps don't.
PhilD's lifted H2 made so many of Moab's obstacles look like speed bumps. I don't think I would be as confident in a lifted Jeep with its shorter wheelbase.
