Hello from Prescott AZ

Jim Bloom here. Sold my 2023 Pro R and just bought an H2. What a difference. I could not be more satisfied with the performance so far. I mainly use the SxS for rock crawling (Moab and Sand Hollow primarily) and the dunes (Imperial sand dunes and St Anthony primarily). Have only tested on the local mountain and desert trails so far and it is better in every way vs the Pro R on that terrain. Headed to Sand Hollow next week to see how it does on the rocks and then on to the dunes the week after.

Welcome to the forum.

Looks like you have already made some accessories upgrades to your H2.

Yes, have added the following so far:
Front bumper with LED light bar
4500lb winch
powder coated dual color front metal grill
Half windshield
45" LED light bar
HMW full skid plates
HMW rock sliders
Nerf bars
Front and rear tow hooks (for tying down and recovery)
Powder coated red metal air intake covers
Gorilla Chunky Monkey LED whips
Gorilla Quick release spring flag whip mounts
Rear LED pod lights with amber covers
Billet side mirrors
Wide angle rear view mirror
WD Electronics integrated turn signal kit
Low profile rear storage box
Rear camera
Ceramic coated the entire exterior and wheels

Think I'm done working on it for a while. Time to play!

Nice job. Sounds like you could still use a radio & intercom system next.

I don’t understand why these manufacturers don’t design in a spot for the radio & intercom? Make it easy and plug & play. Speed UTV & the Arctic Cat XX are the only one who actually thought about it and did it. Both were designed by the same guy too. My other gripe is these new cars should make the storage area fit a spare tire too!

When I got to meet the Kawasaki design team & the marketing team I I told them this.

Just finished riding most all of the hardest rock crawling trails at Sand Hollow and the H2 did great so that box is checked. Actually got though a number of obstacles a bit easier than I could do with my Pro R. But need to find something better than the Factory nerf bars. They take a beating on the rocks and bend upward too easily making it so you cannot open the doors until you can bend them back down. This is my first time using the Maxxis Carnivore tires (typically run Rockzillas on the rocks) and was quite impressed with how well they did when aired down. Tried running in low power mode for a full day on 4 different trails. Initially, I kind of liked that it kept you from spinning tires on obstacles but had a couple situations when it got really technical and steep that it just would not go. I have decided that I like mid power mode much

Power is there when you need it and you can feather the throttle to keep from spinning the wheels.
