wow, that H2 is sure mashed up, one word, ouch...

To each there own, but lets at least show stock verse stock here, thats unfair..

I don't think a pissing match is needed, all rigs have there place, and if we were cloned all off the same, there would be no diversity in the rigs we drive.

I personally would like to see a few H2's out in action, and I don't mean in OPEN spaces, get them out into the tight stuff..

I agree with ya!

Yes I have, it was a grey market 4 door, diesel
and the guy that drove it took it everywhere, including the Rubicon [he was personally invited by Mark Smith to run the Jeep jamboree, that is the one that only cj/wrangeler Jeeps run. No even the long wheel cj8s went, they had to run the Jeepers jamboree open to any jeep]

that truck is about the same size as the H2 but he was running 35s and those great lockers and he had buckets of low end torque from that diesel.

beleive me I love my Double cab as much as you guys love your H2s, but out of the box a Jeep Rubicon with 31s and front and rear lockers will eat both of us alive in the right conditions [narrow trails loose dirt/rocks] And as the challenged I guarantee your h2s will never hang with me. Why,you ask? simple I will chose a route to MY advantage [narrower than you will fit :-)]Or my desert buddings running long travel systems will kill an h2 in the desert, better wheel travel and the shocks will take alot more abuse before fading

Actually I would really like to wheel with some h2s in Southern Cal. I can be emailed at dbsnelsonSPAM@earthlin.net [remove spam] and we can set up a time.

Here is my rig in its current form. Telling me its ugly won't phase me in the least, I already know that. I built it to protect my wife and kid in case of a severe roll. The cage works - tested over 30 times

SJ,

I am with you. I have ONLY owned American vehicles. I have owned 2 Silverados, 1 Suburban, 1 Tahoe, 1 S10, 1 small blazer and 2 K5 blazers and of course my H2! My father is retired from GM so I know the effects of buying Japanese junk, but now the tables have turned. GM is kicking ass in the truck department like never before! There is absolutely no excuse to spend money on a "foreign truck" and I use that term loosely. Every time I hear someone say foreign and truck together it sends chills down my spine.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

You bought Chevy because it was cheap through your Daddy. I support the GM account where I work and own a $40k Burb (sticker) my discount got me to $31k. Talk about reipping off the American people. And guess what I've got 40k on it, and it's had sh!t break like the lock relays, the window module, the out drive gasket, etc. etc. I towed a 5 x 10 trailer and the torque converter went out or at least whines now. Talk about American Quality, I feel like I've been betrayed.

I was going to follow up with some pictures but imagine the repercussion when a toyota guy Would infect the poor little H2 minds with such irisponsable posting. (I bet the other H2 guys would like it though)

Can't we all just get along!?

[JRT]

Well since I typed that, I let a buddies GF drive my junk and she cracked my front housing in half

But front axles are easy to find.

If your serious, you need to start going down the shopping list.

Front Axle complete $150
Crossover Hysteer $400
Spring Hanger and Shackles $230


You need springs which can run you anywhere from free to $300. They're free if you make a hybrid pack out of your exisiting rears.

If you're 5.29 in the rear, you need to regear the front so your looking at $140 for the gears plus $80 for the install kit. I can have my gear guy hook you up on the install.

Front Shaft for ~$150

And if you lift the front, you'll probably need to lift the rear. Anywhere from $100-$350.

You are looking in the range of $1500 for parts. If you that doesn't scare you away, drop me a line because labor would be a fraction of the cost of parts.

They use 110s. My mistake I didn't write exactly what I ment to say. I know they don't use Range Rover. And one of the US Generals did use a Discovery in Iraq.

Let's face it. The rude retards trying to crash everyones party are kids trying to disrupt the true members.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT...

If the H2 was the same price as the Toyota TRD's , Tacomas, 4Runners......well, this wouldn't be happening now honestly.

The next posts to disagree are prime candidates.

Yep, you could buy 2+ Tacomas, 2+ Jeep Wranglers, etc. I'd rather have one vehicle that suits my needs rather than a car lot sitting in front of my house. Two of the same vehicle - boring.

As for gas - business expense. Car pooling to save on the $50K - wrong again. Many of us have worked hard and can afford the $50K or we expense it through a business. Admirable attempt at making a point though!

Here is a sweet picture of Toyota Tundra that TRIED to follow a Hummer!

Please tell the folks at Toyota to attach more gum to the bumper next time

I think they are jealous they can’t afford the H2. The H2 is the finest production off road vehicle made. I’d like to see a Toy like the Tacoma, or a jeep follow the H2 off road. The H2 would win hands down. Maybe we can find some Jeeps, and Toys to have H2 vs the posers Toyota Trucks. I bet the H2 would put to shame the SAS Tacoma’s. Why put a Total Chaos, or Camburg kit on a Tacoma when you can buy the H2. Those desert posers would be pissed to see a H2 blow buy them thought the whoops

Nice write-off for my business (around 26k). I even considered buying an H1 and placing company stickers all over it like a billboard. We can use the 100k write-off! Thanks to George there is no tax benefit to buying a light-duty tacoma.

Gas is a business expense like SJ said. It feels good to support jobs in Indiana and my Dad's retirement I am even considering buying my wife an H2 SUT. She currently has a Tahoe but I want something heavier/safer to tote my 2 yr. old around in.

BTW, every time my son sees a hummer he says "Daddy's Truck!" Makes me proud to buy an American made vehicle and pass those values along to my son like my father did me.

[DennisAJC]

Personally, I like the Foreign beers.

American beer is too filling. The barley's probably from Germany

Hey guys...just thought I'd drop in on this thread.

You gotta understand something....this is an H2 forum, and lots of people here just blew some major coin to own the "worlds most formiddable offroad vehicle".....and...it's just the energy to root for the home-team. YOu can almost call it H2-denial.

The truth is...the H2 is far from being a super-capable offroad vehicle. The thing is pretty darn wide, it lacks clearance....combined with it's long wheelbase...the last thing is can do is rock-crawl.

That's not to say it can't do some crazy-good stuff. They climb very well, we can abuse some serious side-slope and they repeatedly surprise the heck out of many people. You'll come to find that when you do finally get to offroad with one of them. Well...assuming the driver isn't some moron.

What the H2 is good for is this: packing up the whole darn family and heading out for a weekend of camping. If it's sheer offroad performance, it's hard to beat a modded-out Suzuki Samari or monster Jeep. The modded Taco is pretty darn nice too!

The H2 is entirely in a different class, it's a luxury SUV with some kick-ass 4x4 features that can be surprisingly effective on many terrains.

In the end, it's all about toys and having fun. It's almost like a fishing rod collection or guns: no one particular thing is going to be perfect all around. But then again....I'm not telling you something you don't know already.

Don't let the H2 home-pride get to you...we just like to celebrate our horse a bit much here.

[David in Germany]

HEY THOSE CAN'T BE NATURAL. they are too perfect must have been doctored up pictures.

Can't we all just get along!?

[RockYoda]

JSB,

I insulted you directly with my "Commie" remark!? Man get over yourself thinking your all high and mighty! I was being SARCASTIC!! For being all educated (or playing like you are) you sure can't spot a joke. The reason i put that you are a commie was a play on your past posts of being the ULTIMATE AMERICAN (i'm being sarcastic again.. in case you didn't spot it) (i buy american everything.. blah.. blah.. blah.. ) If you think that i truly meant that you are a commie, I AM SORRY TO YOU JSB! (does that make you feel better?)

Definition of Communism:Main Entry: com·mu·nism
Pronunciation: 'käm-y&-"ni-z&m
Function: noun
Etymology: French communisme, from commun common
Date: 1840
1 a : a theory advocating elimination of private property b : a system in which goods are owned in common and are available to all as needed
2 capitalized a : a doctrine based on revolutionary Marxian socialism and Marxism-Leninism that was the official ideology of the U.S.S.R. b : a totalitarian system of government in which a single authoritarian party controls state-owned means of production c : a final stage of society in Marxist theory in which the state has withered away and economic goods are distributed equitably d : communist systems collectively

there are you happy??

As far as starting in with you H2 guys i believe that in past posts i have only put down the music that was in one video. As a matter of fact i praised the guys for taking their very expensive H2s and getting them dirty! I never once put down any H2 drivers or the ability of an H2! I would love to go weeling with some H2s to see them in action. Like i have said before, I LIKE THE H2!!!!! The only thinks that i have written on here that maybe could be taken bad are: "Its great to see H2 on the trails.. just not in front of me" this me just being a smart ass and "My yoda can go places that H2 can't" which is absolutly true!!

If the majority of the people here want me banned... than ban me! The last time i check this is a DISSCUSSION board and we are the disscussing the differances between the Toyodas and the Hummer H2. I could really care less! I think if things were your call only people who agreed with your views blindly would still be here!

Well for once and all, I AM SORRY IF OFFENDED ANYONE!

[RockYoda]

SJ, Yes it was aimed at you not JSB, my fault.

[Steve R]

Sorry 'bout that last post....this forum warps my sense of judgement at times. It's very cool of you Yota guys to apologize for the offensive and inappropriate behavior of those hostile jerks who come here for no other reason then to provoke a battle and cause problems.

First of all...there are some seriously cool Toyota guys here in the mix: we are definitely going to have to get together and enjoy some offroading fun in the not-to-distant future. Rockyoda & DosTacos...you are both local to me & Jason and we're headed out this friday to goof around at some local area that a friend just turned us onto.

I've said it to Rockyoda no less then 3x....send me your emails and we can arrange to hook-up. We've got ourselves a great offroad club and we have a blast...let's get you both dialed-in & hooked-up likety split!

Also...let's wrap-the-crap and call an end to this absurdity: Both vehicles have 4 tires rotating effectively on the ground. Each have suspension, a 4x4 system, clearance and can effectively handle off-road situations. Yes, they vary in weight, width, wheelbase, and certain angles: each has it's advantages and disadvantages. It's just that damn simple....get over it!

In the end, the driver will always make the difference, I've caked-walked through stuff that several H1's in my club got screwed-up on. The H2 has clawed & grinded it's way up hills where Jeeps had problems. At the same time...I've seen the H2 get messed-up on simple stuff: she's a pig, no doubt.

What's important is that we live in a country and enjoy a time & lifestyle where we can actually get out, buy toys and have a bunch of fun. All these rigs are mixed to death with parts made all over the world: built in America, assembled in Mexico with parts made in Korea & China, designed by Canadians and engineered by Germans. Come on guys...can we please rise above this trivial cesspool of comparative absurdity? (opps...did I already use that word????)

There are lemon GM's, Hummers, and even Toyotas. Well...I heard of one once. How can anyone take so much pride in something they didn't build, design, engineer or help to create. We blow the coin and turn the key. And NO, paying someone else to put a lift-kit and bigger tires doesn't mean squat.

For our part, I'll apologize for the forum for any auto-repsonse-hostility we've thrown at the Toyota crew. We've endured seemingly countless attacks from other hostile forums. It gets old after a while and has perhaps made us a bit itchy on the trigger. Again...there's lots of great Toyota guys in the mix.

I hate to quote some dumbass who was made famous by running from the law and getting his ass whooped on public tv....but can't we all just get along?
