Going to run it Saturday. Hit me up if you're interested, I'll send you details!

 

[Zach]

Can a stock Silverado, 2wd and street tires make it?

 

[06 H3]

Nice! Is it tough?

Looks like mostly easy if you not doing waterfalls.

 

[poncho1965]

Yep.

 

[poncho1965]

I'll take pics. Maybe Zach can ride with me. I'm outnumbered bad by the jeep guys

 

[Panzer07]

Show them how it is done...maybe from wheeling with them all other non-Hummer guys is that you want to get a jeep

When wheeling rocky terrain with the jeep guys one of these days try disconnecting your sway bars. It makes a huge difference. There's a good reason jeep guys do it, I was connected for years with ifs and even with the ifs it helps a ton. Would never go back to the connected life off-road. solid axle or not disconnecting makes a huge difference

 

[Mb30sdl]

You did see my flex with sway bar connected, right?

 

[06 H3]

nope but your also running an AFTERMARKET sway bar that is designed with flex in mind. Stock sway bars DO NOT keep flex in mind they keep sudden maneuvers above 60mph in mind.

It is because they built them up...get some well deserve 35"s and a lift kit and the. You'll see...as well not be hesitant of banging your truck a little here and there and you'll be golden...I still have a long way to learn by seeing where Chris took his squeaky with the rancho and stock set-up leaves me with little to no reason of why change my Panzer. Which remind me I miss driving it...haven't drove her in over 2 weeks due to that freaking transmission problems.

Thanks, I'm set up fine, just continue to find my limitations and mod from there. 35's sometime this year. Would like to do a SOA, but I believe that will require a lift in the front. Yes most jeeps more built then me, one guy mostly stock on 33's doing stuff I can't [emoji23] BUT, I have no payments! Just gotta keep modding[emoji2]

 

[cbetts]

You can use my method of dragging . . . take a toll on the undercarriage though

A lot has to do with driver experience, I was reassure this by Chris when he was able to get my truck up a hill near his house in which I failed miserably lol.
And yupe no payment is the best way...plus you have an alpha don't you ??? If so Then the 3.6 V6 is gonna feel underpowered

A set of this KMW Skid plates and dragging should be a thing of the pass...now it would be more like sliding over lol.
Can't wait 'till they are ready for the rancho guys

Then 3.6 V6 is gonna feel underpowered compared to the 3.5L I5!

Oh I already have full skids, clearance is my biggest limitation. Nope I don't have an Alpha though. Happy enough with the I5 it's got gearing for off-road [emoji106]

And I believe you can still do soa but you'll end up with the oem stand front slightly lower than the back. As soon as rancho and Chris have time my SOA kit is going in.

Ha! Zach riding shotgun with anybody is like Chuck Norris riding shotgun with his partner, that other guy! For Zach it's "solo or no-go"!!!

 

[poncho1965]

I'm gonna get tore up tomorrow. They have my "mall rated" badges ready. LOL

 

[Zach]

Can you get a few extras made for Twin and make sure they are chrome

 

[cbetts]

 

[06 H3]

Have fun! Let me know how it works with being disconnected. Should help a ton.

 

[poncho1965]

Will do. I need one of those badges[emoji2]
