there are lots of h3's here in cabo now.
bunches of h2's
and about 4 or 5 h1 alpha's
i get alot of use out of mine here.
its great because you can still drive on the beaches and in the dunes here
the h3 sure isnt anything like the h1 in the dunes though!
a buddy of mine scales super soft dunes like nothing in his h1.
i have to hit them with a ton of momentum to even have a chance!
the wider 12.5" foot print will surely help me to float a little better once i upgrade to the larger tires.
i only run the premium fuel here, as the regular is just ridiculous.
the gas stations constantly run out of fuel here, especially in the rainy season, so the fuel constanly has impurities in it-we go through alot of fuel filters.
i am impressed with this truck. i bounce down the washboards all the time and have very few squeaks so far.
i only wish the option of on the fly tire pressure adjustment was available. that would be a great feature, although very few people would actually see the value in it. and r&d/production costs would probably not make it feasible.
a friend of mine bought an fj cruiser about 1o months ago.
it is lifted and has large tires and is good in the sand, but it already rattles like an old car! it does seem to have quite a bit more power off the line than my h3 though.
i like the look and feel of the fj (properly lifted and with tire upgrades-the stock one looks like a pacer!), but i think toyota really blew it with the door design as there are no center posts between the front and back doors. these washboard roads really work a vehicle and the doors on the fj squeak and rattle. he only has like 9000 miles on his so far!
how do i like my h3?
