Moonie you know better than worrying about how sweet it is......cause they are not. They look like a damn Sami inside.
As far as capable, yeah they are OK. I wheel with TJ's much more built than yours, and I certainly don't stand there in awe or anything (unless they roll over, that's always impressive ). My 2 goes wherever they go, sometimes it does work harder to get there, but around town.....they all want to ride with me.
Some Jeep guys are always talking about the money thing too, how many times have you heard about "for what that thing cost, I could have built"....so could we, just would rather not. I've seen some amazing - built Suzuki's, but I don't want one.
I don't need another toy and 2nd trailer taking up space in the garage where something else could be. For what my motorcycle costs......I could have a built TJ.
You're gonna have to make one of these Moab runs after all the CO guys get their new JK's though.

So you really are a dip****, everyone is right?
Damn man, why is all about money to you dumb ****s? I'm glad you wheel with people that have such wonderful jeeps, but let me tell you this:
If someone has a well built jeep, and it's built more then mine, and you can follow it with a stock H2................then my guess is they are some ****ing ****ty ass drivers in that heep and maybe they should come on down to Denver and I can give them some jeepin lessons.........
You'll wish you had a trailor for that H2 someday.............trust me
And if not, you can always leave it on the trail and contact me. I'll drive your ass to the dealership to get your part, wheel the trail back to your hummer, and help you fix it
What does a Suzuki have to do with any of this? Oh I see......trying to make yourself feel better, kinda like MY JEEP is the H1, and your H2 would be the suzuki. Kinda the same, only light years apart......
I wheel my jeep because in 6 years of wheeling it, well over 400 trail runs later, and being a Daily Driver for 5 years, I never once needed help off a trail, I never once couldn't complete a trail due to a mechanical failure, and never once has the thing let me down.......

Re: redneck's parade float?????????
Did I mention I've ran hundreds of trail runs in my Jeep and have never broke one mechanical component? Just curious............
144,000 miles on that bitch and my TIE RODS are still stock........

Why are you acting so butthurt? I thought this was a friendly discussion. I've seen your posts on a couple different forums. No drama necessary.
It's not all about money at all, that's what I just wrote. My point was it's not all just Hummer people making it about money.
The Suzuki was an example. I'm not railing on Jeeps I like them, just not right for my situation.
My friends love their Jeeps too and probably think they could give you some lessons also. They didn't invent off road driving any more than you did. Maybe on a pro rock course they would walk away from me, but we are not wheeling those here, and I doubt you are either.
I didn't insult your Jeep, chill. I did say it looks like a Sami inside, because to me they do......so what?
As far as dip****......yeah probably.

Did you read so fast you missed the ?
You can insult my jeep all you want, I just laid out the facts. It's not comfy, it's loud, it's rough.........but I like it and it's a toy.
PRO ROCK COURSE?
I bet money there are obstacles on China Wall you couldn't get through........that is no pro rock course....
Maybe see "stock H3's make me chuckle" and you will see that I invited plenty of H3er's and H2er's to come prove me wrong. Guess what...... ....no one took me up on it.
I can see that you didn't invent wheeling. Hell, I can tell you dont know much about wheeling as you still are claiming that your H3 is a capable wheeling vehicle.........
But watch me wheel my stock ass jeep through Spring Creek and you will think I'm re-inventing wheeling..........

Re: redneck's parade float?????????
03H3..............
Have you not been around here long enough to understand that I really dont care...........
Just having some fun man. I can just as easily tell you all that you have the most expensive and bad ass SUV's on the planet. I can't believe that anyone can afford such a massive price tag on a vehicle, did you all have to take a second out on your homes to afford them?
Damn.....the capability of your rigs just blow my mind. I have seen so many stock H2's and stock H3's get through simple obstacles with ease that I never thought they would make. You should have seen all of us in our jeep just looking at each other like "WTF, that was amazing"....
And then the H3........now hold on. That is just the creme of the crop when it comes to luxury expensive vehicles. I only see like 500 of those ****ing things around here on a daily basis..........it's maybe the most mainstream vehicle in Highlands Ranch, how are all these people affording these things?

Re: redneck's parade float?????????
Or I could be honest and tell you that I've never seen an H2 or H3 (stock) get through lots of simple obstacles out here. I've watched them break, I've watched them take the bypasses, and I've watched them all look on in amazement at stock vehicles of all sorts taking the same lines and taking them with ease.........including a Range Rover Sport.
Oh, there is a used H3 down here by my house with a sticker price of $21,900.00 if anyone is interested.........
right next to the same 4 ****ing H2's that have sat there for weeks with sticker prices under 40 grand..........
There...........now I've made it about money, capability, and jeeps. No better combination around here to start up a good e battle........

Re: redneck's parade float?????????
Right on Moonie!
We are in the presence of the ROCK GOD!
I grew up in CO and wheeled up there in my old Jeep. I used to go up to Idaho Springs and wheel up to all the old mines between there and Central City. Before they allowed gaming. Did they pave a road up there now?
I never made China wall, but I'm out in Denver every year, my wifes family all still live there. You are probably right about particular obstacles, OK. If the rig can't do it, that's cool.....I still would rather drive it home, (with my family packed inside) than a Jeep.
I get it. My friends all ride big Harley's, I have a rigid hardtail prostreet. Mine's not as cush, but more "pure" motorcycle. It shakes and it's loud and when you hit bumps it's violent. More fun if you ask me.
Everybody should do it how they like, I'm happy with my redneck parade float.

Re: redneck's parade float?????????
My buddy has an H3 and really it does things that I wouldn't think that it could do. So while I don't care for them, I can't trash them either. Save that for the prius.

Re: redneck's parade float?????????
I can't wheel with H3s. I'm not into easy trails and babysitting.
I usually wheel with modded rigs with lift kits. That evens the playing field.
I've been a modified Jeeper for 7 years and an H2er for 4. I know what the Jeep's limitations are. H2>Jeep>FJ>H3.

ROCK GOD.......I like that......
I have seen Moab many times. AlecW takes some very good pictures when he's out there
This thread was so interesting that I think this is the first time I've logged onto the elcova forums from home in years......

Want me to say something I stand behind 100%
I'm sure the H3 is very capable, as I've seen one walk right up Twin Cone without a hitch. Nothing real spectacular to brag about, but it made it look easy.
H2's are sweet. I like them a lot
But my ****ty little jeep still trumps them all
Different vehicles for different people. Different obstacles for different vehicles. I love wheeling with you all and that is why I'm still here........
