[johnnieknoxville]

Jeeps rock...I am glad to see the H2RT Representing...Can't wait to pull out yet another H2 with broken parts. As we all know the H2 "Pimp Mobile" is as trailreasy as a BMW or mercedes truck. I had a tahoe and let me tell you that thing does as bad offroad as a corvette would. Save your money and buy three Tj's and get them trail ready for the same price as one H2...CRAP

[johnnieknoxville]

I would like to see one H2 pulling out a Jeep to silence this thread....

[SJ]

Yeah, those all look off-the-showroom floor stock to me! Let me know when the Germans build a 6-passenger Jeep that will do what my H2 does before all the aftermarket add-ons.

Take your family and all their gear wheeling in those - they can sit on the roof!

Thanks for coming here and spreading some love! I like Jeeps, but if you're going to be an Internet tough guy, then I have to say that I'm sure the GERMANS and Gerhard Schroeder appreciate your purchase.

The H2 has been out for less than 1 year, so use the brain God gave you and think before you post next time. How many NEW Range Rovers and X5s do you see on the trails?

This is the kind of gratitude we get for buying American these days. Self-bashing idiocy at it's lowest!

Auf Wiedersehen!

[Mike97ZJ]

How come all those Jeeps are so shiny?

Mine doesn't look like that.

[SJ]

I owned a Jeep and I may own one again some day, but what kind of red-blooded American bashes an American rig? Some folks are just plain self-hating these days. You're right bro, I should have bought a BMW X5 or Lexus. Then you'd try to clown for buying a "yuppie mobile." You can't satisfy losers like you because you're set on sending out HATE rather than showing comeraderie.

What was I thinking buying American?

[NEGATE]

johnnie,

What part broke on the Hummer?

[johnnieknoxville]

The hummer had two broken axles...The jeeps all made the relatively small hill climb unscathed...Every H2 I have seen on the trails (not too many due to the overbearing price tag) has broken in some way or another. They are not made for anything more than a dirt road. Stock jeeps are twice as capable and a lot less "pimp-mobile-ish"

[johnnieknoxville]

Jeeps are american dumbass...there are no German parts on a jeep...plus why spend over $50,000 on a tahoe. Seems silly. Especially since you guys claim that you take them offroad...(Which I highly doubt)

Since I'm breaking it, I might as well break it in a big way: I don't think our "friend" (I love the REAL Johnny Knoxville) has any idea that many of us here have owned jeeps in the past (3 between me & Peter) and have already made an informed decision about what we prefer. Hummah H2!

Over and out -- no more of this for me. You guys are doing a great job anyway, so I'll just shut up and enjoy this thread in all its hystericalness. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

do you guys ever wheel your bling or just talk about it...I would love to see pics...

[NEGATE]

johnnie,

do you only read the threads you start? Look around, I know it's nothing as EXTREME as the Jeep on the curb(wow) or the one in the sand box (that shows some sick flex) but yes some H2's actually see the dirt. BTY do you guys find "tire blacking" helps sidewall traction? It couldn't be because you guys are just posers could it? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

As far as the axles go that sounds strange to break two of them in one trip. Have you formed an opinion on what might of caused this?-Other than it being a piece of crap that is-

[SJ]

johnnieknoxville:

Oh friendly one - Jeep is German owned, so I think your "dumbass" reference is self-prescribed. Maybe you can educate us on Corporate Economics since you're so knowledgeable and quick to criticize my conveyance of facts.

Sprechen sie Deutsch? You'd better learn if you want parts 10 years from now!

[SJ]

Johnnie:

Here's the Daimler-Chrysler Company Profile - read and learn. Daimler owns Jeep (in the event that you haven't figured it out). That may be part of the reason that a Mercedes developed CRD is being dropped in the Liberty and also planned for the Grand Cherokee. German powered Jeeps are on the way!

At least they give you the option to still read their site in English.

[NEGATE]

Jonnie,

Did you guys get in trouble for putting those stickers on your parents Jeeps?

Im sure the reason your folks bought them was to TOW them behind their moter homes.

Im sorry, please forgive, me I meant no ill will, I just love to mix the pothttp://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[TonkaH2]

ROTFLMAO! Thanks for making another hilarious penis-envy discussion.

If H2's weren't such a threat to your manhood [such as it is] you boys wouldn't be wasting your time on our site and putting graphics on mostly stock jeeps...

BTW, my buddy has a really nice CJ that's all set for extremes. It will certainly go places an H2 won't. We're going to go to Badlands next weekend -but he's riding with me. We're TOWING his badass ride, since it sucks so bad on the road...

Mr. Knoxville

I really liked your TV show, and am sorry it is no longer in production. You and your fellow "jackasses" must be getting pretty bored these days, I guess that's where you guys found the time to create your new club. As an H2 owner I admire the degree of envy that you and the other jackasses have for us. I have one question thogh: When saving us haplees H2 drivers out there, how do you compensate for the great difference in gross vehicle weight between the H2 and the jeep? Are the rocks in your head and your fat ass enough or do you have to pile a few more jackasses into your jeep?

[Dan]

I think there's been a big misunderstanding.

I found the official website of these people's club:

its a freelander

[DiscoDancingRover]

Yes I believe it did pull it out. Now the freelander, lets not kid ourselfs, is pretty much crap off-road, but I found that and thought it was humours!

[DiscoDancingRover]

Hehe, i feel your pain my rear bumper is messed up, it is actually bent. it sucks

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> I pulled my H2 out with my Explorer the other week. All vehicles get stuck. On the way back to the trail head I got my Explorer stuck three times, on a trail the H2 had no problems with (apart from one bottomless pit). <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Phil...

Be thankful that the Explorer got stuck after the H2 was back on solid ground. If it had got stuck on the way to rescue the Hummer that would certainly have made a bad day worse.

Actually I think the Explorer bumper looks pretty good considering you had to jerk the 6500 lb. Hummer several times to free it. You might want to consider a reciever hitch for the Explorer when you replace the rear bumper, in case you have to use it again as a recovery vehicle.

Just curious, do you think a rear winch on the H2 would made the job any easier?

Don

[Hummie2]

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>In this case, no, as there was nothing to anchor to. My Pull Pal just plowed through the ground when I tried it on the front and it was buried deep <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Phil

What size Pull Pall do you have? I have been considering buying a 14000 lb Pull Pall, but do not believe it would hold well enough to free a H2 stuck in sand.

Don

[DURAMAX TIM]

Phil I have a question.
Could u have used the pull pall and the Explorer (or the Suburban) for an anchor point?
Pull the anchor in and hook to it and put the other vehicle behind it w/ a short strap to the tie in point on anchor.
But u would still need the rear mount to pull it out backward.
BTW when I can get all the stuff together I will get a photo of a REAL H2 recovery team (the Cat D-4D w/60k winch&D-6C, Deere 650G&710B hoe)if we can't pull it out we can lift it w/ the hoe.
An H2 stuck is nothing like getting the D-6 stuck or the 710B.

Those jeeper idiots sure shut up fast, didn't they? I forgot about them... Nice pics Tacos. Just proves my point that it is 90% the driver and 10% the vehicle. I personally am not the best offroad driver, but I'm getting better with practice. I am a track driver by nature (used to race my old M5 before it was wrecked), so this whole offroad thing is new to me. But it sure is fun though.

Exactley! Traction is the key. I have stuck open axle 4x4's in similar easy looking spots that I didn't consider obstacles until I couldn't move the vehicle and had to grab a shovel.

A locker is a definate advantage in this situation.

[MountainMan]

I would like to point out that most jeepers start with 22 thousand dollar jeeps that are really capable and put another 10 gs in them, making them great trail rigs. A lot of H2 guys take 40 plus closed in Suvs and go wheeling with little aftermarket support, who will pull who out? its a matter of time till used h2s are going be going for 17 gs and then you will see a lot of mods on them. Just sit back and wait for the inevitable. It is stupid to think your rig is better because of a Mark, Driver experiance is a huge factor. Remember Jeppers have been jeeping for 60 plus years, a lot of those guys could out wheel both marks in a geo traker.
