whats a better offroader......
 

what do u folks think is a better offroader, an h1 with front and rear lockers, or an h2 with a fabtech 6" lift and appropriate upgrades and gearing?
and why?
thanks folks!

Re: whats a better offroader......
 

An H2 is an ugly, overweight behemoth. No Hummer vehicle can be considered an "offroad vehicle". They are too big to be agile on the trails, they can't fit on any trail narrower than a 3 lane highway, and they're way too heavy not to sink in mud. I admit, the H3 is a step in the right direction, but it's so underpowered that to climb trhe slightest incline you have to kill the AC. You guys need to stop kidding yourselves. I've seen a whole line of H2's at Paragon with magnetic "body armor" taped on with sticky tape to protect the finish. What a bunch of pansies! "Hummer offroad vehicle"? Oxymoron ... emphasis on moron. Nuff said.

hmmmmm.......
ok, an offtopic post.
ill agree theyre too wide for some of the trails that were carved out by little jeeps once upon a time...
despite all that info, u still didnt answer the question though...
:)

Re: whats a better offroader......
 

The H1.

Why? I'd say because there are no modifications in there to go bad. Everything is stock (well, on a 2004 for what you're saying) so issues that stem from lifts are not really coming into play. You know, alignment, etc. The H1 is still the ultimate. The H2 certainly is probably the next best. But I'd say H1>H2 if you're looking for off-roadability, minus creature comforts, etc...

Re: whats a better offroader......
 

You sound like a person that wants a Hummer so so Bad, but will nevery be able to have one in your life. It must suck to be you.

Re: whats a better offroader......
 

Yeah! I remember when I couldn't afford one too.:OWNED:

What he meant to say:D

Re: whats a better offroader......
 

Ha. I don't dislike the looks of the H3 ... to an extent. It looks enough like my Jeep not to be as offensively ugly as the H2. And all hail the mean visage of the H1. I do like the way it looks as well. The H2 is an abomination. (BTW, did you know that the H2 made the "ugliest car" list ... right up there with the Pontiac Aztec! Woo hoo.) But I honestly don't crave a Hummer - of any model. I like the size, agility, capability, ruggedness, reliability, legendary proven off-road qualities of my Jeep. It's affordable to purchase and maintain, enough so that I can afford to have 3 vehicles ... one of which is the fastest "SUV" in the world. I can't see putting all my eggs in one Hummer basket, but I can afford one. And after I had the pleasure of rescuing an H1 with my barely built Cherokee at Paragon Adventure Park, I know that the Hummer's abilities as an "offroad vehicle" is laughable. :giggling: Hence it is impossible for me to answer the question posed. I don't think ANY Hummer is worthy of the "offroad" moniker. Oh they do make it on some mild trails, but the really tough stuff belongs to Jeep - and you all know it.

You guys always resort to the lame you-can't-afford-one song & dance because it's your only claim to fame. Sticker price is the only area in which you can claim a #1 position, and the offensive ugliness is second only to the Aztec.

Another lame AE, or just another A$$hole kid with nothing bettter to do?

By the way, since it appears you have never driven an H3 up a steep incline, let me say, the A/C does not have to be off...from experience, not from surfing your matchbox cars' websites.

Again what he meant to say was:fdance:

Re: whats a better offroader......
 

I speak only of the appearance of the H3. IMHO that is the only positive thing it has going for it.

Sadly, the Liberty wears the Jeep badge, much to my embarrassment. I concur.


What are you, kidding me? All-round at WHAT? Taking up entire lanes of traffic? Bringing tears to the eyes of every "Tread Lightly" supporter? Gouging huge holes in the pockets of every owner? Oh wait ... maybe at transporting that rare American family with 8 kids and a dog, but still sadly unable to park in the supermarket's alloted space when they go food shopping, because the damn things are just too big? Or maybe all-round at attracting every gas guzzler tax available on our fair earth. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention that the design team, instead of coming up with an original facade, had to COPY the well known Jeep grill in a lame attempt to snatch comparisons and turn heads.

Maybe so, but how often do you hear it from someone who actually outwheeled the Hummer top-of-the-line in a vehicle that cost 1/10 of its price, AND had to rescue the whale to boot? :fdance: You've heard it 1000 times because the truth never gets old.
