Thanks! I love the H1. The crazy thing is it feels smaller than the H2. You sit lower in it and can see out much better. The turning radius is a bit worse I think but other than that it drives just as easlily as the H2. Now it rides a bit rougher (like a newer jeep, older discovery, Defender, etc.) which for me is fun, especially with the top off in nice weather.

Off road, it just has better traction at any given time (mine doesnt even have lockers). The diesel is a perfect match for the torque needed and it just never spins tires. It was amazing because I was scared I'd get stuck in some wet spots with the AT's but somehow it just keeps moving forward. Maybee the weight keeps it planted better, or the geared hubs do it, I don't know. The side sloping is ridiculous as well. I went about 40 deg and felt fine, I bet it would do 50 w/o flipping (especially an opentop). The gobs of torque down low is what really sets it apart when wheeling.
