Re: Memorial Day Weekend in Moab 07
I know a guy that says he's seen it done (H3), but I'm not convinced he knows what he's talking about.
Pictures do not do it justice, that Jeep dragged his spare all over the dirt behind him. Our departure angle would not provide enough clearance.

Well from that angle...Damn! thats steep. Yeah, probably not. nice pics guys!
usetosellhummer - I dont think an H1 would make it either. That is strictlly a short wheel base obstacle. Looks like H1 would get hung up in the middle on the top edge. Looks like you would need lots of clearence if you had a long wheel base.

Re: Memorial Day Weekend in Moab 07
That is definitely something Jeep has that we don't. A real aftermarket.
With Jeep, the sky's the limit. We can't even get a lift that works off road. We should write FABTECH and tell them we want one (I already did).
I'm an optimist, the H3 has only been around a couple of years, I'm hopeful the manufacturers will see the $ and build some actual off road products for these trucks in the near future.
The rig is very capable from the factory, but we have nothing available to take them to the next level. ![Rant](images/smilies/rant.gif)

Re: Memorial Day Weekend in Moab 07
We will just have to see how the new front ends hold up, and I bet we see a lot of hardcore 06-07'ers going to the alpha front end. That seems to be our kryptonite. The best thing jeep has done is keep a straight axle up front. Its a lot easier to throw gussets on there and some bigger axles and youre bullet proof. Out of the box, I am stoked on the H3. I'll tow a trail rig when I make one thats ridiculous, go anywhere, status. Who wants to drive that on the road? ![Beerchug](images/smilies/beerchug.gif)

Re: Memorial Day Weekend in Moab 07
I like that I don't need a dedicated trail rig. I drive my truck down, wheel, and then drive it home. I like wheeling with air conditioning, lumbar supporting leather heated power seats when it's cold, satellite radio, CD changer, DVD players for the kids.
I did my time as a grunt in the Marines, I understand the "hardcore attitude", I just prefer a little luxury for the family, ya know.
I would like a real lift for additional clearance though. It would also improve the angles.
I plan on installing the new CI axle, with an E-locker when available. If I could get all this, and maybe some H3 H.D. Fabtech tie rods, I think I would be content for awhile. ![Big Grin](images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
