This is what my buddy brought to the mountains this weekend . . .

This is One Bad-Ass 4WD SUV . . .

I will say this, my friend Bryan, loaded up the H2 will all the guys, and took them on a WILD 4 Wheeling Run at 2 in the morning, and rode Down a Stream for about 200 yards ... They almost got stuck, and had the H2 at a 75 degree angle trying to get around a boulder . . .

Lucky they had Henry and Steve with them, as they had to lift more than one downed tree from across the creek-bed to allow passage . . .

I have ridden with Bryan on his suicidal runs on those dirt roads at all hours of the night, so I opted out ... Plus, I didn't feel like squeezing in that Hummer with 8 big guys . . .

When they came back, we howled about that for hours . . . I think it was the highlight of the trip . . .

The next morning, we ran into some kids who heard them in the woods, and they told us they got up the next morning, and followed the tracks down to the stream, where they lost the trail . . .

Funny . . .

who are you talking to?

I can recall several such trips in "woods jeeps". When I moved up here, most of the guys I knew had a road ride and a "woods" ride.

Most of the woods rides had all of the glass busted out, lumpy bodies, etc.

Fun stuff.

yup

my fil has a navajo he rock climbs in that would destroy any h2 off road

Just telling a story, TW . . .

I know jet.... just poking at ya

I'd be pretty nervous if TQ was "poking" at me.

Chief like the H1 and H2--Squaw doesn't like them, she LOVES them.

Couldn't afford nice 4WD vechicles when I was younger. Used to ride a buffalo up into the mountains. Much slower but steady and dependable... Did well across the plains tho... till he got hungry..

I've got an Avalanche Z71 and I've yet to get it stuck. I give that thing hell.

#6 Wasn't that made by Mazda years ago? I seem to recall it was, and was either the Mazda copy of the Ford Bronco or Bronco II.

$4.26

RE#14 - Nah, Mazda bought the Explorers from Ford and installed their own grills and taillamps and some minor body trim. 1992 was the first year and it was only available in 2 doors so Ford could sell more 4 doors.
