Sorry I didn't mean to come off like I was pissed. I was trying to get to the point the TJvig got to. How many of you have actually wheeled with one or "personally" saw one in action. I've seen several, and for someone who doesn't want to go used, or someone who doesn't want to spend money on axles to run larger tires, they aren't that bad. The locking diff is a standard item. Wish all Jeeps were that way.
I'm sorry I'm on the soapbox. I get frustrated that folks that have never seen a Hummer wheel, (besides the 12 stupid driver vids) bash it without knowing what it is capable of.
And not to be a jerk, but my 4.2L YJ got 12 mpg with 235/75's on a good day. Offroading I was lucky to get 6 mpg. I had only a 20 gallon gas tank (thanks to the Sahara package). The H2 has a 32 gallon tank. I think he's okay for awhile. I never even came close to running out on my adventures. If it's that close, bring a few jerry cans and make sure to keep the AAA card handy.
I almost bought an H3 this summer instead of building up my ZJ. I only changed my mind because I decided I like only having one car payment. The ZJ is paid for and the wife's Buick isn't. Plus, after watching the best friend bruise and dent his new LJ, I decided I prefer beating on the older ones better. However there will be a day when I remove the ZJ from DD duty and when I do, it will be a toss up between an H3 and a 4 door pickup. I'd lean tward an H3 just because I've had a pickup and realize it's nice but for the amount I actually needed the bed, it wasn't worth keeping. So I bought a nice trailer to haul my crap around with.
To each his own, but please, don't rag on something you don't have experience with.
