I really liked this trail combo. We hit some really steep stuff that would leave the Jeepers and Yodas behind. The Hummer has such a great center for this stuff it was just perfect not to mention the ability to constantly change your tire pressure really helped on this trip. On the road we were at 35psi. Easy trails were 20-25psi to smooth the ride. When we hit the steep snow covered climb we tried 15psi, which was a no go so we aired down to 8psi and it climbed perfectly now here is the great thing about an H2 vs. an H1. The H2's traction control is a little easier to use than the H1 so on this climb, properly aired down the H2 would have done really well. Don't get me wrong the H1 is great but it takes some talent to use the TT4 (right Rick?)
On the rock crawling a Jeep or Yoda would have done well with the short wheel base BUT probably would have never reached the trail head without hitting some serious climbs.
I think the perfect run is white mountain, John Bull, and finish with Gold Mountain. That would be a full day with 3-4 vehicles attempting it. An H2 can make John Bull with a good driver (Steve, Alec) (in the snow), it is NOT for a newbie! You will really need to watch your lines to maximize ground clearance.
I'll post a recovery pic shortly.
