Final approach to little ledge. The H2 could've taken a much steeper line but I had my winch on the front ant it limits the approach angle. And I was too lazy to take it off and stow it.

Yeah, you're right, I love my MTRs!! after seeing what they're capable of on the trail they'll be on my rims whenever I go offroad.
My buddy likes the Swampers and he runs them almost completely deflated. But even w/o air they hardly flex, at least in comparison w/ the MTRs. They are a very tough durable tire.

I wish there were more extreme pics, but taking pics is the last thing I was thinking about on some of the obstacles. There might be some on the other tape. If there is I'll post them ASAP.
I have to give a very heart felt thanks to my good friend Kent, because he really made the Rubicon a great experience with his masterful spotting and offroading wisdom. Plus he brought the tent.

The guys that made my bumpers are working on Rock Rails for the H2.

They should be pretty bad ass...

I'll keep you guys posted.

Good thoughts, good thoughts....what I'm hearing is basically that the lift really isn't going to compromise the side-slope stability enough where it'll be a problem.

I'm 100%+ certain that the H2 desperately needs more clearance. You've all heard me bitch before how I've pulled up to a lifted Bronco or other lifted truck....looked eye-to-eye with them (same seat/cabin height).....and yet they have huge clearance under the rig and we just don't!!

I've scraped and dragged my belly over lots of stuff. Being that clearnce is an issue 90% more ofthen the side-slope....it only makes sense to sacrifice a bit more side-slope to gain the clearace. This is the part where I say..."it's all a trade-off".

The only thing I'm also saying, and I think DRTYFN may agree with me.....is that there are instances where it just feels like sacrificing even a shred of side-slope stability would be hazardous!

I've always wanted to perform the ultimate test: putting the H2 on some kind of hinged side-moving table and see just where she'll give. I'd love to perform a test on stock, 2" lift and 4" lift......wouldn't that be fascinating!!!!!

Btw....watch your tire pressure on extreme side-slope: great way to pop a bead!

My own hunch is that a 2" lift with 37's is likely the most I'd go or suggest going.

Another ultimate solution might be to find a way to give ourselves the ultimate in flexibility: I say we borrow a page from the book of "low-riders" and get into some gnarly hydraulics that can raise & lower the rig! Control for all 4 corners!

Imagine...if you had a side-slope to the right....you could lower your left side and fully extend your right side! A computer could maintain & control the thing. Jack it up for rocks, lower it down when needed...etc.

I've only got one other problem...my rig fits into my garage with a mere 1/2" to spare. Any lift or even larger tires leave my girl out in the elements. Course, I could take off the useless racks, but I hate the looks w/o them.

How does a lift give you more clearance?
