I would skip the all the weight B.S. and get a tube buggy to tow with my H2.

This one was for sale recently for just over $20,000. The tube frame was welded by a welding instructor at a tech school and the vehicle has twice what he's asking for it invested in the parts.

I have no doubt that it will outperform most Jeeps for less money.

That is one cool machine for off road...
The balance between having the best of both worlds is where the distinctions get tough!

The JK wrangler fits a narrow application that is passe. It may be better for some really old nostalgic folks who are stuck in the past.

That tube machine is the other end of the spectrum. It wouldn't do much here in the muddy northeast!
