Thoughts on my H2...

This is true. The All Terrains are not very good in the mud. I have found my H2 to be very good in very soft and deep sand, even with the stock tires. I have been the owner of numerous other 4X4's including a Tahoe, Blazer (f/s), Chevy Stepside and a couple of Jeeps, and in stock form I find the H2 to better then them in sand and dunes. I haven't experienced the mud only because I have not changed the tires yet and I know the A/T's will not suffice.

I also read about squeaks and noises that alot of you experience but with an 05 with 31000 miles I guess I am fortunate. I only have one interior squeak and it comes from the drivers seat. I do get wind noise from the windshield but it is not overbearing. All and all I find the interior noise acceptable compared to other trucks. But then again one of my trucks had 38 inch Ground Hogs and noise wasn't a problem then either.

X1000 on the need for M/Ts. The BFG All Terrains are a great all-around tire, and the best for slickrock in Moab IMO. I liked them so much I put them on my Burb. But they absolutely suck in the mud. Getting M/Ts is a must for mudding.

But that begs the question - why go in the mud in the first place? Mudding is not wheeling. It's just playing around. I never understood the fascination with mud. You have 10 minutes of fun, and then spend 3 hours cleaning your rig. Not worth it to me.

Speaking for myself, I drive 4x4 trucks (with mud tires) because I hunt and fish in areas that require "going in the mud." It's also a regional thing...there not much other than mud in the deep south that offers any sort of offroading challenge. You're absolutely right about the 10 minutes of fun and the 3 hours (or more) of cleaning, but on the upside, I don't have a frame that looks like an IED exploded under my truck, like a lot of you rock lunatics have.
