In Portland, OR there is a secion of Hwy 26 which heads up hill at roughly +6.5 grade (I only know this from the warning at the top coming down). Anyway, I used to own a little Izuzu tropper II with the 4 cyl. (more an econo-car than anything else) I had to keep down shifting to make it up that hill and got passed by just about everything! The ZJ would go up it with little effort. My current 4x4 doesn't even notice the hill is even there. I am not trying to beat people from light to light... I don't want to become a traffic hazzard either.
Seems like most of the H3 owners are pretty gun-shy when it comes to talking about their 4x4. Probably one too many verbal attacks from the tree-hugging, nyu-n-berry munching, Holier-than-thou, anti-established religion PC crowd that's polluting the area.
