Ok...that title isn't the best....but I mean the vehicles.

I've seen several H1's navigate the trail over the years. Some beat up upon completion, some nearly in perfect shape.

Has anyone...ever seen an H2 or the new H3 actually complete the trail?

Two years ago the GM test crew was there the same week as us. Our club generally runs the trail during the week to avoid the crowds. They had H1's and mostly H2's - I think the H1's were recovery for them. That being said we had to winch up cadillac hill all the H2's because for some reason the H1's were in back. They were hammered - falling apart, etc. H1's were fine. I have posted the pics here before somewhere.

I saw a group last year during the FOTR work party. An H2, a Grand Cherokee, an H3? and a couple other rigs.

I saw the Jeep Commander go through this year. lol That was beat.

I saw a bunch of H3s up at Buck Island last year...

We were screwing around at the abandoned Hummer on the Fordyce, which is similar in color to mine....so we were sending it to friends saying that we took it wheeling the day after we bought it.

I'm pretty sure that group of H3's was a test run for the new H3. I saw that group in Four Wheeler I Believe. They claimed that they put those funny looking bra's on the new rigs to hide the actual new look of the front end. I don't think the magazine mentioned how beat up those rigs got though.:smokin:

A group of us set up camp right by gatekeeper this weekend and saw 6 h1's head into the trail and after an hour one made it through gatekeeper then the second tryed and gernaded his transfer case. hummers are not rockcrawlers thats all there is too it. bad ass in the sand and mud but suck on the rocks. IMO.

I saw those H1's when I was on my way to roc'n for the kids this weekend. They sure looked pretty parked on 50 by icehouse. I bet that would've been fun to watch at gatekeeper.:beer: :jeep: :smokin:

I saw them in the Loon lake camp ground Friday night as i was heading to the trail. Thought i was going to see a show on saturday but they never made it to spider. I heard that one broke the t-case bit didn't now it was on the way out.

Were you guys camped between soup & spider?

Were you guys camped between soup & spider?

Yep. Came in Friday night and left early Sunday morning. there were 5 toyotas in our camp.

When did you guys come in and were did you camp?

We camped friday night at Wentworth Springs Campground & headed in Saturday. Our plan was to go to Buck, but my buddy tacoed his tie rod. Our group had a green CJ5, red CJ7, longbed yota & and XJ. We rolled by your camp around 5 on Saturday.

There was a group of H2's and H3's that went thru the trail the week befor the cleanup this year (9/17/05ish). I was fishing at the dam of Buck Island when they came by. They had simmilar dammage but not really what I'd call extensive. Nice people, I think they said they were testing steering components for the H3's.

Yes. I ran it in my H2 up to Spider in Oct of '03. Plan on running it again late next summer. All the way through next time. Pictures are around here somewhere.

More H3 pics on the 'con.
