In all fairness, i have been wheelin for almost 10 years, From Greensboro, NC to Ft. Lauderdale, FL to now the Wharton state forrest in NJ. In the ruts that the jeeps coast across, my h3 just sinks to the skid plates. I have gotten a good bit of speed, but take in mind, these arent flat straight mud pits, these are bumpy, ditched, mud ruts, to much speed and theres a good chance of destroying the whole front suspension. All that Im saying is, I just expected more from this truck...

Anyone in the S. jersey area is more then welcome to come and test thier might with this truck!

I realize that conditions are all different from place to place, but I have run mud with Jeeps (with deep rutted tracks), and my 3 never did any worse than the Jeeps I run with all the time. I get that you have done all this for years, I just don't know what to tell ya other than momentum is key, and if you are hanging up on the frame, sooner or later you are going to get stuck

The Jeeps I wheel with are not stock, all of them have at least 35's on and so does my H3.

Those Toyo M/T's kick ass in mud. I have the Pro Comp AT's now on my H2. I haven't put those in the mud yet, it's 95 degrees everyday and there is no mud to be found close to here. Good Luck, I don't think it's just the weight of the rig.

you're totally right. If the truck isn't up to your specs, get something else. No harm no foul

This hillbilly video always cracks me up.

That H2 is heavier than any H3 I know of, seems to go pretty good in those ruts though. It's always fun to watch.

Thanks for the feedback, just seein what everyone else's thoughts are on the subject, nice Vid too! I'll tryin hittin the mud a little harder and see what happens tomorrow! Got a full day of wheelin.

One more question, when the truck does get stuck i seem to have one wheel up front always not moving! What happened to this "as long as one wheel is on the ground you can move the truck" mumbo jumbo!?
