For $25k more, you get a better departure angle.

First off, a rubicon will cost more than 28 new. An h2 will be closer to 57-58K. You dont need a better crawl ratio when you have the torque of the 6.0L. The traction control system puts the break on a spinning wheel and sends the toruqe to the axle with traction (90% of the time as good as a locker in front).
With 4 200lb people in a jeep rubicon, you have already exceeded the GVWR rating. Weak in my opinion. Much less can it tow more than a set of training wheels.
Both have their intended buyer, both are excellent off road vehicles:
HUMMER:
is much more comfortable and well equipped for road trips, sex on the fly, intimidating other drivers, burning more fuel, pissing off environmentalists, towing/hauling stuff, breaking tie rods, impressing kids, taking clients/women out in, etc.
JEEP is better for:
parking, fukking up you back when you hit a pothole, having tire size envy, gas mileage, spending a$$ loads on modifying it to fit 37" tires, having sh!tty vaccum operated lockers, knowing your interior sucks, anything I'm missing??

I'm sure that this has been brought up before, but you might want to use actual Jeeps. The very first rig was indeed a Jeep, but then you showed a video of a Toyota pick up. The vehicle you showed going down Lion's Back was a Bronco (those were made by Ford).
"YJ, TJ, Liberty. Same frame, same parts. Same result."
Again, you might want to check your facts. The most obvious differences are that Wranglers use a body over frame configuration, and KJs (that's the abbreviation for a Liberty) use a unibody construction. That means the KJ frame and body are one unit. The KJ also has an IFS (Independent Front Suspension) while all Wranglers are SFA (Solid Front Axle). Your H2 also has IFS. Those are the major differences, but there are still plenty of other differences, not only between different models but different trim levels offer different equipment.
Try again?
The footage of the H2s was pretty decent though. I admit that I was impressed. But I'd still rather spend $28k on a Rubicon than $53 on an H2. The Rubicon has dual lockers, a crawl ratio of 66.4:1 an approach angle of 45.1°a breakover angle of 25.8° and departure angle of 34.4° to the H2's single locker, 33.12:1 crawl ratio approach angle of 40.8° breakover angle of 25.8° and departure angle of 39.6°.

No need to respond. Afterall, his name is Chad and he can't count.
This is way too old and the ghey doesn't get it. That's all. He's not smart enought to catch on.
BTW, ignore all his garbage. The Rubicon and the Liberty share the same platform. Jeep just borrowed the front end from the Talon to make the Rubi appear more trail rated.
