H2 probably not the best off roader vs say a jeep but depends on off roading you want to do and FYI Hummer was designed for sand and mud and water (the H1) the H2 is more of a vanity vehicle but then again your RR is probably to make up for the lack of a manhood so I wouldn't be talking if i were you

Ok I seriously dont care about you opinion, it seems like every thread you subscribe to is just to make an arguement or show your GAYNESS, isnt there a G.L.A.D forum where you could argue with people about shit. This thread has nothing to do with you as I have already stated. I dont care what you think it looks like or if I can park it. Your opinion would be useful if I were asking about what is the best Elton John cd to buy, not this one. So once again you may post all you want but your word mean absolutely nothing to me, have a nice day

I had an H2 for a bit definately NOT an off-road vehicle underpinning is the same as a 2500 suburban they are extremely underpowered for thier size and weight plus as is common with the CV IFS systems on american trucks the turning radius is terrible so if you are planning on any trail work it will drive you nuts....Personally the land rover discovery would be a good choice they are very abundent (given a production run starting in early 90's through the LR3 intro two years ago) relativly nimble and a great all terrain vehicle as well...just dont try to pull them by the brushguard (usually mounted to bumper not frame) and they do great! The LR3 is great as well (Had one for a loaner while my S600 was in the shop) but I have no expierence with them off road. Also if you want to do big wheels I know yokohama and toyo (possibly others) make mud terrain tires in up to a 22 now

I am by no means an off road expert but it seems to me if one is serious about it the the only vehicle i have ever seen that fits offroad needs is a Toyota land cruiser.

the old ones were great has anyone had a chance to trail test one of the new retro style ones yet (IIRC now called the FJ)? they have some pretty solid ground clearance

Land cruisers and the land rovers have been built for rough terrain look at the UN and european military vehicles you will see a lot of both

Land Rover
Toyota FJ (the new ones)
Wranglers (somewhat)
H1's

That's about it

Seems to be the principal means of transport in Africa as well. But i suppose they may be custom made for that application.

Told you, the Land Cruiser is a PROVEN off road vehicle, it had long pulled and proven how good it is at what it does

Juanted 11-16-2006 06:50 PM

Dude... tone it down. Blondboi simply expressed his opinion. No reason to give him the finger. Let's be civil here...
