you honestly compare an H2 to a yukon? does a Yukon come factory with 4.10's and 10" minimum ground clearance among the other major differences? it may be a Yukon frame but thats pretty much where it ends.

I wasn't saying a built Jeep could take a stock H2, 'cause that's obvious. I was saying a stock 2008 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (2 or 4 door) versus a stock 2008 Hummer H2. The Rubicon comes with front/rear air lockers, electronic sway bar disconnect, Dana 44 front/rear axles, BFG Mud Terrain Tires, etc. all stock. The H2 gets those crappy A/T's stock. The price tag on the Rubicon is $25,000-$32,000, and the price tag on the H2 is $35,000 to $40,000.

The thing about the H1's too is that they are tanks. I bet the jeeps can't do this. http://www.lynchhummer.com/Humvwall.html

My 1996 K1500 Z-71 slid into a irrigation ditch while I was mudding, and it was a long, hard drive out of there, but I made it, I ran up the side of it and up to my passenger mirror was in muddy water for a short ammount of time. Once again, had mud tires and good throttle control. It was about 1/4mile pull at about 4000 on the tach and 1st gear. No overheating issues or anything, just took a LONG time to get cleaned.
Oh, and both of these vehicles were stock ride height. The ZR2 had 33" tires and the z-71 has 265's

i thought h2's had pushbutton lockers from the factory? any who they do have 35" tires on them but allterrains won't help him there. if he had a set of boggers or at least a regular mud terrain it prolly would have done it.

Looks like there was shitload of muck/silt in the middle of that pond. Letting off the throttle didn't help either.
Anyone that I've heard say an H2 is just a Yukon, has been an Yukon owner.
Drive an H2 and then a Yukon, not even in same category.
Offroading requires 30% vehicle, 70% brains.

I'll take my 4-wheeler with triple lockers . . . oh, and don't forget the heated seats
