    Quick shakedown run for the Solid Axle Swap on the H3. Been dealing with some Transfer Case issues that even still haven’t been resolved. Discovered a few things that still need to be addressed before taking it on a more serious shakedown run.

    Wow! The poor man's sas turned out really well! I was seriously starting to doubt you actually still owned it. I thought maybe you ran out of funds and the wife got mad and he had to sell it off. 😅

      You’re not far off. Lol. But seriously I just hardly ever get a chance to work on it.

    One of the very best H3’s out there.

      It wasn’t really a challenge. There was another tire obstacle, the one on the cover photo that I couldn’t get over. Needed a spotter on that one. Couldn’t see shit lol. Kept sliding off to the side.

    8 lug axles? And what size tires? It looks awesome

    • @VDawg-cr1gb
      @VDawg-cr1gb  Год назад

      They’re actually 14 bolt axles. I had them built out to be 6 lugs cause I didn’t want to buy new wheels. I love my beadlocks

    Very large vehicle without much ground clearance…. If those weren’t tires, you’d be having a bad day. King of the tires but that same trek over rocks would kill the thing.

    • @VDawg-cr1gb
      @VDawg-cr1gb  Год назад

      I think there’s plenty of clearance. I did take a bad line. But the H3 has been through some tough trails stock, I’m still getting used to the new steering feel. Went from rack and pinion to steering box. Takes a lot more rotations of the steering wheel to reach full lock, and it’s not as maneuverable as before. Visibility isn’t as good either lol

    I will have to say that’s less than impressive. I’ve seen stock jeep wranglers do better than that.

    • @VDawg-cr1gb
      @VDawg-cr1gb  Год назад

      It is. You don’t need lockers or anything for that. But this is the first sort of run after the solid axle swap. Need to find out where the kinks are before taking it further. Hence shakedown run

      It's called a shakedown run

      @@gearyheads2739 yeah. I think the long drive to the trail/park was the real shakedown. That’s where I was more concerned. This is after all a solid axle conversion. Doesn’t have millions of dollars of r&d behind it. Totally custom
