Hey,
In my opinion, it was pretty serious off roading. Many, many parts of the trail it was 3 wheels on the ground. Lots of telephone poles accross the trail, and 12" deep ruts. Some of the hills were 4 Low with the locker engaged.
Afternoon, was some serious mud. (I will fess up I didn't make one of the hills my firs try). However, a few H2's didn't either. Basically it was a a rough trail that looped around to a long deep mud pit (basically you need speed to get you through even in 4 low locked.) Then you hit the top of a 10' hill where you staged, to go down into a deep mud pit then directly up another 10' hill. This was 4 low locked, foot to the floor (the one I and some H2's didn't make the first time around).
I can say this. My H3 with Adventure and automatic had no problems following the H2s around. (Actually there were about 7 H3 (all with adventure package or Lux and Off Road Package) and we all made in through without a sweat. The obsticals were enough the when you crested them you were looking up at the sky or nose into the ground.
I'm not saying this was like the worlds roughest trails but you needed a ton of articulation to get around. Lets just say I can think of another vehicle in stock form that would have survived the day.
I have some photos comming.
