They have thier purpose. What other vehicle can go into the maneuver box with M1s nd M2s and make it out under their own power?? How many other vehicles can pull a 1 1/2 ton military trailer or get dropped from the sky and survive??

Beyond that the ones I have been in are uncomfortable noisy and drafty, bu tthey do have good radios... Can't see much use outside what they were originally built for....

Hummers are good as long as you're not buying one.

The H2 (or whatever that giant incapable thing is) is definitely gas and a joke as an off-road vehicle. Basically it's a Tahoe or Suburban skinned to look sort of like a real military Hummer. More or less a toy for the uh, phallically inadequate.

Here's a couple H2's in action:

weak front end

and

stuck on a tiny tree stump


A real Hummer is a totally different vehicle.

Whilst looking for a new sand sled I checked out the H3 and Nissan XTerra. The H3 has 8 inches of ground clearance at the transfer case while the Xterra had 9 inches. I have bought nothing as yet as Mama won and got a brandy new Honda Accord somehow.
Nevertheless, If I was going to buy right now it would be the XTerra but if I wait one more year Toyota is introducing a scaled down version of it's old landcruiser in the same price range as the Xterra with more head and leg room and 9.5 inches of clearance, an important factor in beach riding to me.

Why even try.........
