Raz,
I've taken a few classes on interpersonal communications...... I've been taught that 5% of the communications process is the words. 95% of the process is in inflection, tone, and non-verbal mannerisms.
Here all we have are the words. I have had many things I've said taken other than how I intended for them to be. I'm sure it happens to all of us.
As far as all this crap goes..... I'm not pissed..... or at you at all.
Our own perspective really does effect us all.
I didn't see the owned sign......maybe it was there. But I don't think Tomp was trying to insult you either.
Chill is a word I use to tell my friends to relax. I realize now that you were not fired up but with just the words...... I thought you sounded that way.
As far as the why......... specific examples may help you understand but they could also make other people angry. I'm not trying to piss off other people that I respect. We all love our rigs.
I do agree that the capabilities of the rigs are close.
My comparisons between my own rigs were close also. The only modifications done to my H2 during the times I was talking about involved a lift with additional brackets that hung down (since removed). I think it was a fair comparison with the mods done to the H3 at the time. Both rigs had rock tires 2" larger than stock. If anything the H3 had some advantage because I added sliders to the spring hangers and the lift on the H2 hung up where a stock one wouldn't have.
There are H2 owners that like to fling sh!t. I've seen it too. I'm not one of them and I don't think Tomp is either.
I've had the good fortune to walk trails that H1's were struggling with..... but that doesn't mean I think my H2 will out-wheel an H1. I've done things in the governments Humvees that I'm sure would have pulled the entire suspension out of my truck and left it laying in pieces all along the ground.
