For those others who are interested:
Go to Hummer.com;
Pull down the H2 drop-down menu and click “Off-Road”
Watch the H2 “Twist Ditch” video;
Do the same for the H1 and the H3.

Notice that the front tires on the H2 never leave the surface. Surprisingly not true for both the H1 and the H3. Why? Better wheel articulation? Weight distribution? Something else? Whatever the reason, it’s impressive to me.

Better rear axle articulation, thats it, nothing more. Imagine how capable it would be with a solid front axle that flexed like the rear...

That's pretty cool, I like the comparison without any variables.

I was surprised by how awkward the H1 looked in that exercise compared to the ease and stability of the H2.

non-driver...plus they are using TT4 which is a pretty aggressive traction control system. If you use the lockers its smooth as silk.

Oh yeah, we know how sweet the H2 is across little ditches.

I'd like to see a Jeep Rubicon passing over those big ramps.

Another question: Am I correct in my assumption that the fact that the H2s airborne rear tires continued to rotate means that the rear locker was engaged?

Rubicon would look similiar to the H1, and you are correct that the H2 has the locker on.

It's not because it's an H2, it's because it's yellow.

Damn Skippy. Couldn't agree more.

Notice they had to resort to camera trickery to make it appear that the H3 actually made it.

The ramps should have been a foot taller to make it more dramatic.

Another foot would have been schweeet.
