HUMTECH is an unknown quantity at this point

Understood, unfortunatly I have not had the chance to test an h-2 off road, just simply referring to personel experience with A non ABS equipped vehicle. With an h-2 you could stuff the whoa pedal to the floor and maintain control which is the purpose of abs as well the longer wheel base as you stated allows for more control

A well geared Jeep will be fine, but an H2 will be less likely to get sideways and roll on most inclines/declines due to the longer wheelbase. You have to wheel each vehicle differently and what works for one, won't necessarily work for the other. Engine braking an H2 is generally a waste of time and only useful on mild trails.

Shaggy, I'm guessing you may break 10 mph, but not by much. You should be able to keep it on the rock, provided you don't panic, and there is no one in front of you, especially someone walking down LB. When you got to the bottom, I think you may break one or two things, but you are rght, if you kept a cool head and had a clear shot at it, you may just be okay.
