Took girlfriend and myself up north to do some little offroading for our 3 years.

Usual Quades.....blah, it was ok I had much better in the past

After 2 hours of 4 wheelers

Then I got in into this bad boy X-military H1 and ripped it through big F$%# rocks and lots and lots of mud for an hour.

Too bad the the guy didn't get good shots of me doing 3-wheeling and actually going through 2-3 feet of mud. Anything I threw at this thing it went through like nothing. Loved every minute of abusment in this thing.

I think everybody should try mudding H1 at least once in their life.

Yeah they are a nice toy. They definitly make good money off of it.

I've driven H2 before and it just wasn't the same.

Ontario hydro actually bought a couple H!'s for servicing hydro lines.

Only problem is that they were too wide for the jeep tracks they travelled on.

^^I've tried H2....it was just another SUV to me. H1 on another hand is beast.

I think for a weekend to rent an ATV im guessing $300 at least. Cause there we rented them for 2 hours and it was pricy.
I usually just borrow quads from my friends but I see where you're comming from its you and a bunch of guys.

A week ago i was looking to buy Raptor 660cc but talked myself out of it.
$3200

H1s are the only Hummer you'll ever catch me behind the wheel of. H2s are GMC 900 chassis, same as Obama's limo. H3s are glorified Canyons / Colorados.

Nice pics. Any serious hills or rocks? Cause all we see are the left-overs.
Daily driver 1: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport "S"

33" BFG Mud-Terrain KM2s, lots of Rough Country gear - bumper, 2.5" lift, swaybar disconnects, Superwinch 10,000lb winch, Detroit Locker in rear D44 axle, custom exhaust, K+N filtercharger, Superchips-tuned.

Daily driver 2: 2006 Subaru Legacy GT

COBB Stage 1+ package - AccessPort tuner, COBB intake and airbox. Stage 2 coming shortly - COBB 3" AT stainless DP and race cat, custom 3" Magnaflow-based exhaust and Stage 2 COBB tune.
