[06 H3]

You gonna run your iroks or pro comps?

 

[ReconH3]

IROKs. Pro comps are for the road trip. Then I'll swap out there for competition.

All packed and ready for the Vermont Overland Trophy. Everything is secured either strapped down or contained within the custom made Raingler safety nets. No loose gear in case of a roll.

In the rear, all the camping gear, food, tools and spares.

Where the rear seats used to be sits the full size 40" spare. Yes it fit through the door! The recovery gear also is stored here. That includes a PullPal, HiLift, Maxtraxxs, as well as all the Master Pull winch extension lines, snatch blocks and Super-Yanker kinetic recovery rope.

Good luck Al. We will be following and cheering for you. Have fun, be safe, kick some azz and bring home that trophy!

 

[ReconH3]

Thanks Big! I believe we'll do well but won't push it too hard since this is the first time competing. I have no interest in winning at the cost of damage to the rig. Plus we want to have fun! It been nearly 15 years since my last competition.

[bebe]

So Cool Al! Congrats and good luck!

 

[High Five H2]

how wide are your axles?

 

[ReconH3]

Wide. No clue. I could measure when I get home if you want?



"Ex Umbris Venimus"

 

[High Five H2]

yeah, that would be rad. I'm curious because one of these days I would like to do a similar build as yours. thanks!

 

[ReconH3]

Roughly 68". It's hard to get it spot on without removing both wheels.


"Ex Umbris Venimus"

 

[High Five H2]

awesome, thanks. I don't need spot on.

 

[06 H3]

do you know what you are outside tire to outside tire? I am 79"

 

[ReconH3]

Right now I have 80" with these new "road" wheels. With the Hutchinsons and IROKs it's less. Probably 79" like yours.

Today I finally installed the Starr HID lights that I've had siting on a shelf for about 5 years. Kind of sad.

I've also been experimenting with anti-reflective devices.

You can see the difference between the glare of the headlight and the non reflective surface of the turn signal.
