Off-Road Warrior, Pavement Pounder, or Somewhere in Between?

[HummerMann]

My H2 sees offroading everyday. I live in the Adirondacks and it's a half mile off the road and up the gravel/mud road and sometimes through the creek to our home. It's the main reason I own an H2 and an H3 and probably someday an H1. I've owned Jeeps, Powerwagons, two Ford F350 dualie 4 X 4s and five other 4 X 4s and nothing does as well as the H2 in snow and mud. If you don't have a REALLY GOOD 4 X 4 you don't go anywhere in the winter here! This last freak Oct snowstorm paralyzed everyone else, but my whole house standby generator is doing great with about 10 days more supply of propane, and I've been getting in and out in the snow with my H2 easily

That is great!!!! Post some pics of your area if you can. I would love to live in an area like that.

I voted "No, and never will" Been there and done with previous rides. I'm strictly in this game for the looks!

What was your favorite 4x4, back when you were there and doing that?

I have to admit, I do both. This year I was finally able to get a commuter car so that my Humm doesn't have to hit the highways as much, so it is nice to not be racking up the miles. Being that I am from Idaho, and I live in Utah, I get plenty of back and forth use both on and off-road between Idaho and Utah. When I am in Idaho, I am usually up in Montana and Wyoming too, so the need for ultimate offroading vehicle is always there. With some of the snow storms I have driven through over the mountain passes here, I am glad I am in the Hummer and not some incapable truck.

The lift and add ons are just for more capability, don't really care what anyone else thinks. I don't want something stupid like the weather preventing me from going where I need to, especially where I live. Cheers to the city and the country drivers!

That is totally a badass post!! Kudos to you sir

I have taken my offroad a hellovalot, bend a nice OEM tie-rod, scratched 2 sets of wheels, battle scars underneath the black... the whole 9 yards.... but I do take it to work and around every time it rains so my other beast doesn't get rained on... (that's the whole reason why I bought it)

So I guess I could say both... But I tell ya... talk so some of the off-roading gurus in this forum, they're the experts, those guys know their sh*t up and down a trail and could teach you things about your rig that you wouldn't even know it could do. I'm still a newbiee in my book when it comes to offroading, but that's because I'm never satisfied on anything I do and want to always do it better. But one thing is for sure.... Off-Road Warrior, Pavement Pounder or somewhere in between they will always make us proud!!!

well said.


whether we use these trucks off road or not, i just feel so good knowing what this truck is capable of doing. im not worried about getting stuck in deep snow, mud, water. its a very comforting feeling knowing its pretty much unstoppable.
