H2 and SD photoshoot.

You know that statement, "If it's going to happen, it's going to happen to me"? The "me" they're talking about is, quite literally, ME. Do I believe the H2 is very capable off-road? Sure. Do I believe something's going to break if I take it off-road? Yup.

Anyone here have the front output of the their transfer case stop working for no apparent reason on their H2 with 60,000 miles? I have. The dealer was going nuts trying to figure out what the noise from the front of my truck was until they put it on the lift and put it into gear.

Would you ever think Honda, HONDA, could screw up the first OIL CHANGE on your brand new S2000? I do now. I could start a new thread on the random stuff that I've had happen. And it truly is random, not just a bad shop or dealer.

Now, I don't want to make it sound like I don't off-road only because of my bad luck. Truthfully, I simply got a bit disinterested in it. I got to the point with my 4Runner where it was either make it over a particular obstacle, or flip the truck. Once you get to that point, you need a trailer, tow truck, etc to push the limits a bit, and keep it fun. Would I take the H2 on a simpler trail? Sure. Would it get old to me fast? Probably. I'm sure I'd enjoy the scenery, though.

However, I may take you up on that invite if I can ride along. Where is Black Mountain?
