My Birthday Weekend on the Rubicon - Maiden Voyage for the new H3 Long Travel !!!

[bebe]

We finally got the H3 out to the Rubicon Trail for Labor Day weekend. We expected it to be totally packed, but it was very quiet. We had all of Wentworth Springs to ourselves so we did a lot of testing on all different types of roads and I have to say it was fantastic. Not sure we have much left to do on it except maybe some quick disconnects for the sway bars.

Here are some pics of the 3 working - what it was meant to be.

What size tires are those? Did you get rub?

That is one amazing rig, the level of innovation you have come up with is just insane for the H3. Looks great and looks like a lot of fun.

If I ever win the lottery.... I'm coming to speak with you about my rig, Bebe!

I followed Bebe's and Speedy on her trucks maiden Moab run to let them know what the suspension was doing. I had as much fun doing that as I did driving the trail. The truck is even more awesome in person.

Happy Birthday Bebe and congratulations on a totally awesome rig.

I was disappointed when you didn’t come wheel with us at Bishop. I was looking forward to meeting you and drooling over your H3.

I hope speedy was driving in those pictures, otherwise you're growing a little excess facial hair.

Bebe, what kind of suspension do you have on the front of your rig, because i remember reading a thread where you put a solid axle in the front, not independent?

 

[M22KLARS]

HA! It's a hybrid!

It's definitely IFS...a Dana 44 center with custom made upper and lower a-arms.

Yes - Hutchinsons

Aww - I think that's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to her..."natural habitat":cheers: that's so thoughtful.

 

[MaxPF]

Absolutely badass.

Looks like that IFS is working really well

365/75 R16's (38's) - none what-so-ever.

Once I centered my axles, my 37s stopped rubbing. I have 1" on each side. Was thinking of going up to 38" or 38.5". 39" might be pushing it.
