Come on guys, really....

The H1 with full independant suspension and 16" of ground clearance? And people want to call the H2 a "offroad vehicle"? The H2 is nothing more than a "I own a bigger and more expensive land yacht than you do".

Go cruise at the mall and show how well you take the speed bumps!

Mike,
I quite possibly have the ugliest Toy on the planet It is a purpose built 86 runner that I SAS'd and chopped up with a full internal/external cage. I run 4" AP springs with a single 4.7 Tcase. Locked F and R with 5.29's. I used to be fullbodied with a CanBack softtop out back and believe it or not, a real clean and straight body. After running the Hammers for a couple of years, that went out the window. I broke out the sawzall and now have a rig that I can flop or roll without any concerns (actually quite liberating). I'll post pics in a few.

I don't own an H2, I have a discovery. It makes no sense when people try to compare the H2 to other vehicle not in their class. The G500 has got about 10 inches less in the wheelbase to the H2. So you can group them together. But I don't know which is better off the showroom floor. Your experiecne is with a modified 500. I am talking about a 2003 stock G500.

But why did you all come over here? Just to piss off the H2 owner? If you don't have an actually reason other then pissing off then don't be here.

actually they would have liked to be in a boat...look closer - all those vehicles are being washed backwards by a mudslide/flood.

That is decidedly NOT funny...
and ANY vehicle short of an actuall tank would be mince meat in that situation.

Never said I did not LIKE H2s just never had much USE for one

CronusTRD what was up with that range rover picture? What are you trying to say about the Range Rover? The Range Rover is a very capable vehicle. Not the best for off-road in the Land Rover range, but still very capable. Wow you have a picture when they are stuck in snow. Do you feel special. What was the point of that. You people put huge lifts on yours and put huge tires on yours. And you try to compare yours to stock vehicles. Come on get a life!

Tell me when you find toyota's being used in africa and 3rd world countries because they are so capable? Well other then the FJ40, thats bad ass, but I am talking about your pickups.

Well my Burb Sh!t out on me again today. This time I think it's the alternator. Thank god it didn't fail on my wife yesterday with our baby. This Texas heat would have been a killer to sit in for a while. Had a flat bed take it to the dealer again. I guess I'll find out Monday. Good thing my 4Runner with 108k was available. hehehe! I think I got a lemmon. This is the forth battery, second set of terminals, and probably a new alternator. My 1993 GMC stepside had some alternator problems too. Good old Delphi needs to learn how to make a good one.

Steve,

That was well said. Coming from a Guru I wouldn't expect anything less. As I'm sure you've noticed I'm not a big fan of GM's rendition of the Hummer, but that doesn't mean I can't come here and learn more about it. Hell I hadn't heard it had problems with the hood cracking the wind shield until today. Feel free to sway my opinion. Pretend I was that newbie that posted...Interested in the H2, can you tell me more about it...I try to stay objective as I can. I am partial to things that last.(I.E. Not GM) I don't believe that just because I make alot of money, that I should give it away to the highest price tag.(Since brilliant minds have suggested money is the factor) The most wealthy people are the ones that save the penny not spend it. I respect the fact that everyone should be able to purchase what they want, and enjoy it as well, as fashionable as it may be. I guess the H2 owners are bashing the Tacomas because a Tacoma driver voiced his opinion. I was wondering why the Land Cruisers 40s 60s or 80s haven't been brought up. Or if you want to spend money the LX450. I believe it was the highest priced SUV in 96. Maybe 97, I'm not a mag stat dictionary. It has plenty of room for the more heavy set types, that can't fit in a mid size vehicle. I guess another reason why I'm not a big fan is because like GM did to the Corvette...there's one on every corner. I'd like to see something else I guess. Anyway, I looked through the members rides, and there are some pretty cool pictures. I'm glad to see some of you get them dirty. I'm not a big Mud Dogger fan, but what ever floats your boat right. You do your best to ignore my novice post okay. I'm going to read a little more about the H2, before I'll call it a day. Oh BTW, Do you have any pics of your gliders. Those have always interested me, but I've never ventured past cars. I think I'd get seriouly pissed the first time I wrecked one.
Regards...

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<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>


You think im jelous cause I dont have a pile H2? All you have is a over glorified grocery getter, and your whole thing about an H2 blowing threw the whoops, bring it, im in socal we can meet in Lucerne or Barstow or even Ocotillo if your down south... Your H2 cant even handle a parking lot curb let alone a line of whoops...

Bryanccfshr,

I actually like the look of your ride. Yes, I am a die-hard GM buyer but yours looks pretty cool, quite nimble and I'm sure the coolers are full of beer. What kind?

[DRTYFN]

David,
Just to help you out- it's v-e-h-i-c-l-e. Remember that. I know you're "David in Germany", but god damnit learn to spell what you're talking about you blockhead. I know that 4X4 magazine that you hold in your hands like a bible probably spells v-e-h-i-c-l-e correctly.
As for the Lambo LM002, you've very obviously never been around them, have you? Sure they were fast in their day, but their reliability sucked. You think the Humvees break down from rough use, you should see how those things do just around town. I've got a few friends that have owned them, two of which now own H2s, and they both say the H2s are hands down a better v-e-h-i-c-l-e.
And you're not banned- we need a good whipping child because beating up on that poor retard( sorry, developmentally challenged) Chris is getting old.

Would you do me a favor and go out and speed up and down the Autobahn really, really fast just because you can. What?!!!! You're truck won't go that fast?!! Why not? Ohhh yeah, maybe it's because you don't have the money to buy something fast, because you don't have a good enough paying job, because you can't spell worth a ****. Sorry, got all riled up after going back and reading your other post on page 4. I'll be nice now.

And by the way, we (H2 owners) would all like to get along with ALL of the other makes and models of 4X4s, SUVs,ect., because we take enough **** from all of the enviro-wackos that say we're the root of all enviromental destruction.

And mr potty mouth, lets show some respect to these guys, this is there home, the battle between the rigs has beeen going on since the dawn of time. Its just no longer jeep vs. toyota...

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.

[SJ]

Mike E:

This thread sort of died-down. Just for the record, as I think there is a HUGE misconception:

The Toyota Tacoma is ASSEMBLED in Fremont, CA - very close to my old hometown. The parts are still mostly JAPANESE. Product control is JAPANESE and market share is thereby granted to a JAPANESE company. Revenue from sells flows to a JAPANESE corporation.

Police forces still buy Ford & GM for good reason. Wall Street Journal and most major publications do an annual power rankings report on both domestic and foreign companies. Ford and GM are listed as AMERICAN and Toyota is still indeed JAPANESE.

When you buy a Toyota, you may offer assembly, supplier, and support jobs to Americans; plus some of the design is done stateside.

If the USA eventually only assembles Toyotas, Hondas, and BMWs, then we are relegated to a 2nd-tier manufacturer. We are no longer the "braintrust" behind engineering, innovating, and ultimately controlling the production of automotive products. Instead, we rely on the foreign brands to grant permission for us to assemble and take part in their products.

I don't know about you, but as an American; we shouldn't be relegated to assembling foreign nameplates. We're not a 2nd-tier nation and I'd hate to see it come to that.

I give my loyalty, support, and pride to American nameplates because contrary to the myths it still matters. Not all parts on a Chevy truck are American, but the positives still lean further in our favor versus a Toyota that's assembled in California, yet still under Japanese control. Toyota saves money by shipping parts versus fully assembled units, plus they undercut the import ceiling that was establsihed many years ago.

So, my overlying issue is when you make a comment like the Toyota is MADE in the USA! Yes, assembled, but it is NOT American and it never will be. They can ship all the parts from Tokyo to my backyard, but I'd still call it a Japanese product; not coming from my countrymen in terms of innovation, control, and worldwide recognition to boot.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>However, if you truly believe that the level of trails that you can conquer in a stock ANYTHING would classify as extreme, you need to take some of that coin that you dropped on the station wagon and buy a clue. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Well Dave this is the second post of yours I read, which surprised me because the first was rather sincere and benign in nature. The statement above IMO is a dig and is inconsistent with your first. Here's the deal: we know that modified trail rigs are capable of extreme trails, which an H2 is not, however, I am confident that others look at your rig and probably have something even more extreme. Where does it end? You seem like an intelligent business owner so I must ask why you would come to an H2 site? I just don't get it. Here's my analogy: I'm an Ohio State fan and have been for my entire life. I would never venture over to the Michigan forum to talk about how they aren't good fans (in reference to your first post, which made a generalization) and maybe they should do this or that because that is passing judgement, which drives me nuts. It's fun to hang with the Ohio State folks because we all get along and have an understanding of Ohio State football ergo the need for Ohio State forums. Outsiders just don't get how important it is to us and we don't ask them to.

So the same deal goes for Hummers. This is my experience. I own a HUMMER, it's better than any truck out there (just like Ohio State should be ranked #1 not #3). I wouldn't own anything else but most important, I have no need to venture to outside groups to talk about my Hummer because others feel just as strongly about their vehicles.

So as far as I'm concerned anyone is welcome to enter this forum just like any advertiser can call my house at odd hours to try to sell me things but then again, that's why I signed up for the do not call list

BTW, we did the white mountain run as Hummer run. Yes, we invited other trucks along and none of them showed. We did have one towny in a taco follow us at the very end on the dirt access roads and actually try to pick a fight with Steve R. I watched the entire thing go down. Steve successfully de-fused the situation by complementing the taco in sincerity (not allowing the taco owner to escalate). Finally the taco owner made a few lewd comments under his breath at Steve and left. All of this is amazing to me!

Good luck with your 4 wheel adventures!

Jason<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Quick and to the point.

I ventured in here on a lark because I saw a cross post by Steve R about the Discos, I don't think poorly of Hummers nor do I think that my rig is the "most extreme" either.

My first post was on the Disco thread where I sincerely brought up a trial ride with diverse vehicles. My second was here after reading this entire thread and a few others and honestly getting pretty fed up with the generalizations made about non-hummer owners. Sorry for making my own generalizations.

In addition, I personally like diversity. I would much rather go wheeling with 5 different rigs than all the same.

But I think I've found the true root cause as to why we are taking offense with each other....

Go Blue, Hail to the Victors

jk see you on the trail.
