Re: silly h2
Now, seriously, I know those things are heavy, but this had to be the result
of other damage, right? I mean, he didn't take it from 100% to broken right
there, did he?

That's why you run a Jeep right? :)
Light and short wheelbase.
Although the H2 is really good for towing things like boats to the
lake or Jet Ski's or Snowmobiles. But tight trails, nah.

The H2 has its place in the world. It would be a great tow vehicle for a Jeep.
Drive the H2 to the end of the pavement and then get into a real off road
vehicle. That is what I do with my Ford Expedition, tow the Jeep in leather
clad comfort and then leave it in the hotel parking lot.

Personally I'd get a Chevy Pickup with an extended cab and 4x4.
Great for towing and I'm a Chevy fan. If I got the Duramax Diesel I
could handle all th work I'd ever need and probably get a Sand Rail or
a Rail Buggy for fun. be nice to get one that's a 4 wheel drive tho.
But I had a Jeep pull my WRX out of a snow bank that I *thought* I
could drive through and he had a tough time pulling me off that snow
with his jeep. Mainly because he didn't have the weight. I was stuck
real good too. But he pulled me off. All these vehicles have their
uses but Jeeps do not have towing as their strong point.
I used to take my Chevy reg Cab long bed 4x4 offroad. On tight
anything it sucked and the long wheelbase would hang up on long whoop
de doo's. The Jeeps would laugh as they flew by. Funny thing is they'd
usually overdo it and roll over. Nothing more you want to see at 2am
than a full size Chevy with 30 feet of chain when your Jeep is on it's
side and you are in the middle of no where.
My Truck was good at some things but the Jeeps had it all over me on
the tight trails and some of the bigger hills.
The H2 is just a body kit on a Blazer IMO.
The H1 is a whole nother story.
