What do you guys think, agree or disagree?

Disagree!
 
How many OEM 4x4s can you put on 37s-38s with no lift and hit the trail in total comfort and then drive home in serenity!
 
Sadly, they fail to realize that every Jeep or Toyota requires bigger diffs to turn and survive those 35 or larger tires...this just keeps bringing up the cost!
 
I will stick with my Extremely Capable and Comfortable H2 thanks! And Yes I do break stuff but I am normally doing something that is way beyond what my truck was made to do! But then I upgrade and I am ready for the next challenge.
 
Build, Beat, Break, Upgrade, Repeat!!!

I love the look of an h2 with 37 or larger, looks in proportion ,mhehe

That article is total crap. I find it amazingly bizarre a "4 Wheeler" network would call the H2 "Bummer". In the world of 4X4, Hummer or Jeep are the names everyone immediately thinks of.  This clown slagged them both! Clearly this pussy drives a Prius and has never got his stylish sneakers muddy...ever.. let alone pulled out a whichline.
 
It startles still that me there are morons like this writing articles. In the trees and mud there are all kinds of brand lovers beating their iron together. One thing for sure fellow Hummer guys and gals..... all but a very dedicated few jeepers wish they had a Hummer.
 
Polar Bear I saw your videos and your H2 is more than awesome.

PS:  Parts.... tons of aftermarket for all Hummers and Jeep Wranglers that make them bulletproof (almost) and the ride home is in the lap of luxury. A/C and blasting tunes!!
 
And maybe a bit of a shimmy..

No Worries, the shimmy was caused by the Prius you just drove over and a part of the bumper is still stuck the wheel well...just got to shake it off!!

Thanks! It has been a work in progress over the last 10 years!!!

I don't think the H2 belongs in that list at all.  Yes, it seems a bit large in town, but out on the trail it is manageable and challenging following along with much smaller jeeps.  I'll gladly take my time on the trail, in perfect air conditioned luxury than swat bugs and scorch in the sun.  The H2 is one of the only vehicles that come with a rear locker stock, and can fit 37" tires without expensive modifications and lifts.  So really, for the articles criteria, no building necessary!

I had 37" Goodrich MTs on my H2 with no modifications rubbing or problems. (They are for sale mounted along with a few things on Kijiji) 
 
I will post elsewhere.
