I'm gonna step in here and share my view on this.

I drive a modified Jeep Grand Cherokee. There are 3 other Grand's in my family, and one Cherokee.

Now, that being said, do I look down on my parents and sister for not beating the living crap out of their Jeep's on the trail like I chose to do? No, because I know the reasoning behind why they bought them. Without really knowing the person behind the wheel of whatever rig they're driving, we have no frickin' clue why they drive what they drive! I've helped several people put lifts on their vehicles, some to be used to wheel, some to just look cool. I originally didn't plan for my Jeep to EVER on anything but dirt roads, but over time that changed a just little bit, lol.

The biggest thing that I see between the Jeep crowd and the H2 crowd right now is ignorance. We assume we know why someone does what they do just by a few posts on the net. Assumptions can be pretty far off based on such little information.

Personally, I didn't expect to EVER see any H2's on the trail, but I found out that some of these guys do wheel! Now you ask why anyone would ever want to wheel in an $50,000 vehicle, I think its the same reason many Grand Cherokee's go wheeling, because we CAN.

I am kind of biased towards hard-core wheeling, or any off-road travel really. I think I would definately be able to identify with and get along with some who wheels their H2, but I'm sure the guys who don't wheel can be cool too.

In my book, if the t-case sees 4lo every once in a while, I'm cool with it. Last year I ran into some Kia Sportage's on Poison Spider Mesa out in Moab. My 1st though was WTF are they doing out here, but then I realized that they're just out here trying to do the same thing we are. Using our vehicle's capability to go places most vehicles sold today cannot go.

So that's my unorganized rambling of thoughts!
