A good example of why a tire on the roof is a bad idea.

Or a good example of what not to wheel... but to each his own. That is ALOT of high centered weight!
I've grown tired of this.

What about that line also?
Not to pick on anyone but this would be
a good picture for everyone to look at.
Discuss the do's and don'ts especially in
rutted out places.
Maybe someone will learn form it.

Wow I just saw this haha.
Yes it was a high pucker moment for sure. Closest I've ever been to going over.

It made me think of a couple things.
1. Would I benefit from moving the spare tire to the truck or onto a rear tire carrier?

2. I feel this could be prevented by increasing my rear travel. So i can keep that wheel on the ground. Extended shocks and coils in the rear?

3. Are there specific DOs and DONTs in regard to choosing a line?

Thanks in advance

I think it comes down to personal preference. And I've personally been impressed every time Ive wheeled the H2.
It gets a lot of hate but I can tell you I've driven out of every single trail I've encountered.
Every vehicle has pros and cons, and if you don't push it to the limit, you aren't wheeling hard enough

Looks like good driving to me. Anyone that can keep a large rig like that from flopping gets my hat off!  //SLAMIN//  //SLAMIN//

Bell mountain would be a good limit to test.  You made the right choice Sunday by not going up it.  It was pretty slick, easy to slide down the ruts.  Especially with being top heavy.  As soon as we got to the top, it started raining.
