Hey, was he impressed by the H3? How many tries did you take? That's about as rough as I'll ever get. I'm dreading brush scratches but hey, that's what it's for! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I’ll try and make a long story short…..
Lifted & locked (front and rear) YJ went up first. Then a lifted & locked (front and rear) Cherokee tried on a different section of the hill for about 15 minutes , it started raining and he quit (after we thought he was going to roll and tore up the quarter panel pretty badly). I made it up the bottom section in 2 tries and about ¾ of the way up the top section. I got to a point that I really needed to be hard on the H3 or I needed a front locker and didn’t want to take any chances so I let the guy with the JY (Great family had fun with them and he was very impressed by the H3, we plan on meeting them in Ouray this summer) winch me up a 2 foot ledge. The Pinzgauer made it up on the third try. Everyone was very impressed by the H3 and so was I.

PS: I am 1/2 way up at this point. I got the front of the H3 to where the guy is standing on the right in this picture.

I drive it to work everyday but I bought it go off road and I have the scratches, chips, squeaks and rattles to prove it! I think I take some pretty hard trails but I guess that’s a matter of opinion. I need the diff locker frequently and have had to be winched on occasion. Take a look at the Pinzgauer that went up this trail just after me, this was his second try, he made it on the third.

Level Three
Action-packed and challenging, for moderately experienced 'wheelers. At least 32" aggressive treads are needed, rear locking differentials are recommended. Level 3 requires more concentration than levels 1 and 2.

Thanks ketcat, pretty much affirms my way of thinking on how to use the H3. I'd rather have to winch over an obstacle than get up too far and roll. I've seen too many people try obstacles just like the one in your picture, keep their foot in it with all four spinning, get a little sideways and completely trash their rig.
