The great thing about those two pumpkins between the axles: they are connected to solid axles.
Those solid axles mean far more suspension travel than an IFS vehicle, and more clearance in some cases.
Okay, so you found one situation where the H1 excels. Sure, it's got those great geared hubs and belly plate. But it has virtually no suspension travel! That clearance is all it has going for it.
What kind of Wrangler was it that couldn't make it up that hill? I bet it was a YJ (square headlights).
I'm sorry, but the Hummer is not the final word in offroad vehicles. For most terrain, a small, short wheelbase rig with solid axles will work best, whether it be a 'Zuk, Jeep, early Bronco, or D90.
Oh, and I'd put money on that Scout being able to out wheel an H1.
