Let's get some things straight here. I don't know where this notion that H2 owners are somehow noobies to wheeling came from but, guys, wake up. Yes, there are people that bought the H2 and only drive them on the paved road but there are 50 times more Jeeps doing the same duty, so give it a rest.
Now we have idiots from rock crawling websites coming here to tell us how we should act, what our rigs can or can't do, etc. We've been bashed since before we actually took delivery of the vehicle. Idiots that haven't even seen one in person yet was telling us what they were made of, could and couldn't do, etc. Well, one intrepid H2 owner exacts a little payback, a little tit for tat if you will and now somehow we should have been more mature, should have known better, should not have stooped to their level. Cry me a river. H2 owners are part of the off-road community, like it or not. We are good wards of said community just as we were when we were wheeling our Jeeps, Tacos, Land Bruisers or whatever we had before the H2 came along. No one ever claimed the H2 as an extreme rock crawler.
As a matter of fact. Why don't you yahoos try wheeling a truck that you care about and don't want to get dented and scratched to heck and back. No, every single complainer has said something about the cost of the H2. Well, we know how much they cost and don't particular care to get it banged to hell and having to replace diffs, axles, t-cases, etc. While I am sure many of you won't get it, but it is much easier to have a rig where you can just go bang around and not worry about sliding it round a rock or rolling it over. All you have to do is go to the scrap heap, get some more metal and weld it back, rattle can it and be done.
We have to drive with a little more finesse, attempting to conquer obstacles and leave the trail without damage. To us, a dent is not a badge of honor. It's a different kind of wheeling and one many more people subscribe to than you self-proclaimed expert rock crawlers. The majority of wheelers wheel their daily drivers and are not fond of banging them up. We're no different. So, sit down and STFU. When we need your opinion, we'll come over to one of your websites and ask for it.
