Hey Guys! Looks like fun. I am still reading thru 9 pages! But Just wanted to say glad you made it back and had fun. We just got back from our trip- we were camping under the same stars.

Nice job guys.

I have been running the Coopers since 339 miles, a little over 9k now. They were fine in the rain. The road noise is a lot ess than expected for such an agressive tread. They did great in the sand. As for snow have not tried. As for rocks, awesome. I have even run a road rally with the H3 clad in these tires, all the Subarus and BMW came in second to the H3, we won best overall. I am glad I got the Coopers, only wish I had gone up to the 35's for stuff like the Rubicon.

Welcome to the board Scotte!

X2!

Cool, thanks for bringing the camera. This lake was most definately one of the highlights. I am glad there is a picture to show everyone.

BYOWATS!

(bring your own winch and tree strap)


35's are a must I think too.

I was running 33's and the winch made up for the difference. I would not have used the winch as much with 35's

Rocks,
Are you talking about the Discoverer STTs?

Congratulations!!!

Anyone who can conquer the Rubicon in a stock (or nearly stock) H3 has my respect. (Thumbs up!)
