Beach pictures of my new tires... and things

[DoWorkSon]

Gents,

I have been a sporadic poster, but felt like updating everyone on the state of my H3. I am going on my first big trip, from Fernandina Beach, FL to Yellowstone, by way of as many off road parks, trails, and interesting sites as possible. I have 23 days for the journey, from 25 May to 17 June. Thats probably 23 days

So I've been getting my truck where it needs to be. Camping gear is all set, recovery gear (straps, hilift, shackles, et cetera) is all set. I have 7 gallons of water storage, and a reasonable assortment of tools. Am I forgetting something?!

I have added, since getting the vehicle: sliders, 255/85/16 BFG KM2's, rack on the back, mats, and quite a few good washes. I think it is where it needs to be for my journey.

Enjoy my gratuituous pictures, and let me know if you have advice/feedback/recommendations

I almost forgot, I'll be participating in the 2012 Crawl for Christ in Moab, June 6 - 9... I've never been on a rally/group trail ride before, I'm pumped. Check it out at http://www.crawl4christ.com.

Looks good with the new tires on it. I wish I could have made it to Moab for C4C, but my wife and I are going to Hawaii on those dates. Poor me........

I will not shed a tear Hawaii is a wonderful place.

I am very happy thus far (500 miles, ha!) with my new tires. I went with the 255's instead of 315's because 1) - 315's are HUGE and I would never trust my front-end components with them and 2) 255's are a cool size. I haven't ever seen another h3 with them.

Looks great, and good luck on the trip. A word of advice with the KM2s- air down, especially on the sand. The tall skinny works great out west and in mud, but remember your footprint is narrow, hence the air down to increase said footprint in the sand and on the rocks out Moab way. 20psi is very safe, and 15psi most likely not an issue. Below that I would recommend some sort of beadlock like Stauns, etc.

Your H3 is way cool w/255's, enjoy every moment and a safe journey.

Very nice! I was thinking the things...........would be in bikini's
I like the tires, tall and thin.
Have a blast on the trip.

How do you like the skinny tires? Looking to do the same (255/80/17 though) setup on my Suburban but it is hard finding people with larger vehicles that have gone this route. Thanks!

Don't forget the wiffle ball bat.

Ive always liked the h3s. Ill be following on this one! If they offered the h3 with a diesel in the U.S. I'd probably be getting one right now. Keep up the good work!
