Texas Red is off the scale

In reference to Big Z's original post. We (the driver) do not air up the system. We may overload the system by packing in too much weight, but we do not "air up" anything. And if only 10-15% of H2 drivers ever get off-road then this makes blown airbags even less likely.

(1) we can activate the rear hike feature for extra clearance, but that only works at less than 35 mph.

(2) the manual refers to a built in overload and overheat protection system for the air bags. So I don't know what you guys are talking about.

See manual pp. 2-38 and 2-39.

If there is an airbag problem, IMHO it sounds like a design issue. BTW has anybody on this forum has reported a blown airbag?
