It's pics like that that gives H2s a bad rap. I sit here trying to figure out what all the roof racks and "useless anti-approach angle bumpers" are for? Then I stopped wondering when I saw the machine guns sticking out of the hood

Oh come now Tomp, I get the exact opposite opinion. Take away the Geiger bumper, he can follow you up and down any trail -- machine gun handles 'n all -- and that's what makes the H2s such a unique vehicle. No matter what you do to it, it's still "Like Nothing Else"!

You're correct about the offroad part, but that's not how I looked at it. I was looking at it more on the lines of the haters claiming H2 drivers pretend they are in the military etc.

Don't get me wrong though, I am all for making a vehicle look unique - but this one and ones with rubber band tires give the haters ammo to fight with. I certainly don't hate chrome - except when it's way overdone or reduces offroad capabilities.

Not arguing here -- just struck me funny how the same stuff produces polar opposite opinions. To me, the "black out" H2s seem to pretend to be in the military much much more (after all, who's ever seen bling-bling on a military vehicle?). Since the H2 is an SUV first and foremost, I feel that going "black out" is abandoning part of the H2's heritage -- just as much as going "full bling" mode with rubber band tires abandons it's 4x4 capabilities.

Therefore, the perfect H2 should be one who embraces all aspects of what makes it "Like Nothing Else"; a blinger who tackles serious trails; in short... MINE!

I like chrome.

Actually it is still very capable off road. At least for what I do with it. She still takes me and the mountain bike to the top of any mountain. The stock one is for ruffer play. I got tired of all the rocks dinging mypaint up off road.

RE: The machine guns. They suit me to a tee. I entered the US Army in the mid Eighties and my unit 24ID was one of the first to see, and drive the HUMVEE> I fell in love & since then I havent stopped. My unit again was one of the first deployed when America wasted its money on the first Desert Storm Objective chasing Sadaam down. We should have continued the objective and weeded him out then. But we also had a chance to drive Humvess over there in the ME although didnt get to unload any MA deuce machine gun rounds. Since then I have owned 4 dr wagons to the now H2. Living in NYC is unbearable for the H1 and had to give her up.
No parking, no spaces, tight cramped streets, ahhh the city life!
