What we did in 4 days in Moab, will take the locals years if never. Kinda sad for folks who live there and never have the sack to even try.

Great video!

2xtreme 10-26-2005 07:04 PM

that's cool

Nice to see it again. In person was so much better. PhilD drove up it like it was a driveway.
After the 2nd stock H2 drove it do you remember the woman across the creek saying, "NO WAY!!!", and turning and walking away in disbelief? That was a priceless moment.

Here's one. Face's have been removed to protect the innocent from unnecessary nostril exposure.

BUWHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

HummerNewbie 10-26-2005 08:08 PM

Those pics sure do make it more impressive. Way to go everyone that did it.

H2_SUT_SC 10-26-2005 08:16 PM

It's funny cause it doesn't look very challenging from the vid. I'm sure it's way more impressive being there in person.

The music in that vid is classic. Gonna have to start calling PhilD "Jack"

I agree H2_SUT_SC, it would seem that I have caught far more aggressive H2 footage. I think video (and photos) lose that intense climbing and incline.

That looked pretty tame for PhilD.

How about H3 Wheelie's. Hey Phil S. I think that is your truck.

DennisAJC 10-26-2005 10:09 PM

.

Potato Salad is one famous obsticle in Moab MOST Jeepers fear and fail to climb (<STRIKE>Stock or </STRIKE> Modified) and claim NO H2 can handle.

You rarely see an H1 attempt it. They also fear it.

We've renamed it....H2 Salad.

Wow, I couldn't see what the big deal was when I watched the video. From that angle, it doesn't look very difficult. These last few pics REALLY show how sharp that is.

Very cool.

Notice when Dennis goes up (2nd truck) I walk up with him to watch and cheer. But when Alec (last truck to go up) was coming, I started to walk up... but the line at the top was toward the right and Alec was full on gunning it. Which is typical for him...something told me to.... "run away..run away..".

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.

MovinH2 10-27-2005 01:08 AM

Awesome video guys. Whoever went up last was flying.

dochummer 10-27-2005 01:08 AM

Great job guys! Next Year!

Bondage 10-27-2005 01:25 AM

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

TootsSUT 10-27-2005 01:53 AM

"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.

HummerNewbie 10-27-2005 11:08 AM

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...

S

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!

DRTYFN 11-02-2005 04:27 PM

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.
