JeepForum.com, H2 Recovery Team, H2 vandalism and more...?

[AlamoJim]

and you wonder why some people get so uptight over the H2? I watched 2 H2 owners (one was bright green/chrome and lowered...ugh) sit in mall traffic side by side blocking both lanes for 5 minutes while they 'chatted' through the windows. and this is the day after x-mas with the mall packed out...
This is the kind of activity that gives ANY 4x4 owner a bad rap.

Nice truck (taco ) Mike, it looks like a lot of fun. I'm going to Paragon in 2 weeks and I can't wait.

Kenny your such a little liar.

That picture is crap. No way the H2 got stuck right there. Look at all the idiots taking pictures. "Hook up the tow strap, heehee"

Is this jealousy or bitterness we are feeling today Sir?

Fender bender w/ a Hummer = OWNAGE.

Good call on my Hummer girl, it's the only one I had on hand. I don't know about the Durango chick- she could use some powder, but she isn't slutty. That Durango is pretty sweet!!

That pic can't be real. That's a shame.

OnlyUsedOnce,

sorry if I am just a moron, but what were you impling in your 2 posts?


if you are pointing to this: "IMO, there are very evident differences between H2 owners and Jeep owners. Intelligence, level of accomplishments in life and class are a couple."

I dissagree with that statement...
last weekend I went to wellsville for a day filled with trail carnage...
all 3 of us were electrical engineers who seem to be doing well for ourselves...lol

I took my offroad rig which is an '86 4runner, and the other guys had a jeep...

if you want to compare brains... I'm sure you can spell better than I, but I am sure I have greater ability than you in some areas...

if everyone were the same, life would be boring... and there wouldn't be any jeeps for me to pull out of the woods...lol (see link below

Will trade for H2

Wow what a thread

I remember when I was happy to own a 1973 Pontiac Bonneville clamshell tailgate wagon with rust spots all over it. It was transportation and I owned it. I was proud of my 1974 Ford f-100 with the gold centered bullet hole wheels. Mustangs, camaros, Vegas', bugs then came my first Jeep wrangler. I was proud of that Jeep. I fixed her up. I spent lot of time and alot of money "at the time" on 'er.

In that time in my life I had way more time than money. Now I have more money than time. Where in the past a $79 body lift and 8 hours of my hard work was the only way my stuff was going to get lifted. Now I order whatever I want and have employees install it for me.

Will my h2 go off road? doubtful but, they are building a house around the corner from me and sometimes a few clods of dirt get on the street. Therefore I believe that I am going to install a set of 37x13.5 Mickey Thompson Baja claw radial tires with the new MT beadlock wheels along with a some kind of a 4-6inch lift kit. A Magnacharger for that extra little oomph in case I need to clear that mud clod out of the tires, 2 winches one for the front and one for the back. While I'm at it I'll install a DVD player with surround sound and maybe 3 or 4 LCD screens so I can watch a movie in my air conditioned H2 after I use onStar to call a tow truck to pull me off this slick spot on the road because I just don't feel like getting out and using the winch.

Maybe I should have bought one of these instead of my "no off-roadin" H2.

I am as Proud of my H2 as I was my 1973 clamshell Pontiac. If folks are proud of their jeeps thats great. I have customers that are damn proud of there suzuki sidekicks and geo trackers.

Who am I to judge another mans life and who is he to judge mine.

That cracks me up ......good one!

My own belief is that most of the Hummer bashing is a bleed down from the original H1. So to say its a stigma that the H2 owners have to deal with, unfortunatly. The H1 was the standard at the time of over-excess.
I think that if there were'nt any H1s and just the H2 then there would be a totaly different outlook towards said vehicle.
I do not care what one owns or drives as long as it makes them comfortable, but everyone does not have that view. I like to wheel with anyone, no matter what they may take off road. A mixture of all types is much more fun.

Argonaut,

I agree, but I'm not going into their Forum to bother them.

If they come in here and press the wrong buttons...well...In the words of the HULK, " Must kill troll!"

Brrrrr....

Your trying to be friendly? I don't think so. While you have not used absuive language, curse words or mounted any personal attacks....you have entirely been here to boast the **** out of your jeep and lay an ugly picture of the Hummer. Let's not kid ourselves, your intent is malicious....your just doing with with a smile on your face and soft voice.

There's nothing friendly about coming onto a foreign board and boasting how you could put together 2 jeeps for the price of the H2 and out-do us. You claim that you are merely explaining stuff....but we can read between the lines and pick up on what you're really trying to convey: the notion that Jeeps are great and Hummers are over-priced ineffective gloats.

You deserve the hostility. The next time you annoy anyone...I will see to it you are removed from the forum. We've been attacked long enough to recognize the soft approach.

This forum is about Hummers, in particular the H2. Since you don't own one, why don't you leave.

Don't sweat it...they are just jealous.

I used to have a TJ myself...not a bad truck, just a bit too small for me.

I have a friend in work that has one and I kid him all the time when he talks about my H2...

I said...

"Man Dave, I was on my way into work and picked up a stone in my tire. It was making a terrible noise. I pulled over to flick the stone out of my tire tread when I realized it was a Jeep I must run over a few miles back"!!!

Somehow I stumbled over to www.jeepforum.com and found this thread with over 150 pages concerning this stupid 'H2 Recovery Team' fad. It starts off with everyone buying the stickers that say 'H2 Recovery Team' and then near the end there's some guy in Tyler, Texas saying he saw an H2 at a car lot for sale and that he's going to take it for a 'test drive' to Linsey Park for some pictures and 'wheeling'. There's another guy asking about what he can do to an H2 that he know's of that parks on the street without landing him in jail.

There's far more than what I've mentioned, I didn't have the patience to read all 150+ pages of crap. I just thought I'd bring this to someone's attention because Jeepers putting down the H2 & H1 is one thing, but to then start talking about damaging H2's parked on the street and taking an H2 on a supposed test drive for the purpose of taking pictures and wheeling it is stepping over the line in my book. I would think that if there were such things being discussed on this forum with such seriousnous, that those involved would be banned.

Maybe someone has the patience to read through the entire thread and see what else there is?
