No I just thought we were both not going budge, it gets boring for others to read a rant going back and forth, I do not wish to subject them to that, I will still think my sons LR3 is awesome. and that my 75 modle 2 land rover or my 83 toyota hilux pickup prob were the best 4x4 stock I ever owned, but technology goes on and we buy new becuse old ges old, by the way neither had over 100 hp or did I run over 31 tires on either

This past weekend I took the H2 up to the cabin and took a trail (near Lake Wenatchee) that I used to take my Land Rover. I took advantage of the TC2 and made use of the extra wheel spin I needed in some areas of mud/snow/slush. My Land Rover did not have this feature.

However, a feature of the Land Rover I really like is the “descent control” option. After crossing over a stream there is a hill and a sharp drop-off on the other end. During winter or in muddy conditions I’d turn on the descent control traction feature and the Rover would tread lightly down a slippery slope almost as if on cruise control. The weight of the H2 made a mad dash down the same hill and the ABS immediately engaged when the brake was depressed. The H2 never lost control but I felt more in control in the Rover going down that hill.

Also, I think the size of the H2 makes it difficult to pave new trails through the woods without a spotter. I felt like I could navigate through the back woods in my Rover with a little more confidence because of its narrow width.

However, the H2 dominates when it comes to sheer torque and I never felt like I was going to topple over as I did several times in my Rover. As for the Rubicons, I can’t comment since I’ve never been off road in one.

But if you want real perspective, ask a valet where he parks a H2 versus a Rubi…

here is a link that you will love, I laughed all the way through it I do not agree with it's path it takes but it shows you can compare anything to anything, and get a winner

DRTY,

C'mon you gotta admit that rescue is cool if they produce it, with 37's, on board compressor (like H1 but it probably works), removable doors and top, and built in front and rear winch. I dig it.

You gotta remember I had a pretty bad experience with my h1, finally threw my hands up and said screw it after the rear locker went out. I'm not paying 1k a month to have something sit in the shop all the time.

H2's are probably better all around than the h1's and I really like the SUT's. Jeeps Rescue (if they come out with it), will raise the bar and force GM to improve the H2, which it could really use at this point.

I don't think there is any one marque or model that is the absolute best off-road machine on the planet. They all have strengths and weaknesses in the various aspects of wheeling, so my question is more of what _differences_ you've witnessed between the H2 and other vehicles?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

if you want an offroad vehicle, you have to build one,... or buy one someone else built...lol

also, the vehicle is only as good as the person driving it...

H2 handles better on Oklahoma roads than all other vehicles I have owned. None were meant for off-road, but goes to show you what shape the roads here are in.
