X2, no shame in an H1 pulling you out, I've seen them do some incredible things. Still wouldn't ever trade my Jeep for one though.

Was this your property that you got stuck on?
If it was not, this is the kind of behavior that makes all of us wheelers look bad, and why a lot of trails are being closed.

I dont mean to burst the bubble here, but An F250 or 350 will always outpull a hummer H1...its not even close. The Ford must have had the crappy stock tires and couldnt get traction right?? that is the only way the hummer would win in a pulling contest.

Default Property

I can appreciate your perspective and I agree that we need to respect private property. But this was about 20 feet off of a main road on a dirt road that runs adjacent to it and gets flooded every time it rains.

I get your point though.

Default F250

The F250 was lifted with 37s, not sure why it didn't pull me out.

There is no shame here. Both the H1 and the jeep were used by our U.S. military. So in my mind they are both bad ass off road brothers from another mother. me

heh, way to go hummer... as expected. and like everyone else said, there is no shame getting help from an H1. they are the real beasts. the H2 and H3 are weaker cheaper versions.

are you not paying attention? how can you say that? even with bigger tires. it won't help a crappy F-350. do you even realize that a 2006 H1 can pull 4303lbs more then a 2006 F-350? 9303lbs vs 5000lbs? hmm.. funny that a truck thats only a little bigger then a JK can out pull a monster F-350. oh wait, no its not, its an H1, of course it'll out pull that truck...

It doesn't matter where it was, it's private property that doesn't belong to you. The only thing you should appreciate is that it's not yours and that you can't be there.

My old Fire Dept. has one for a Brush truck... I will admit, I do like, and I do want... and when I win that lottery, I will have. But I'll still have my JK... and probably another one

Default dont be too upset

i would not be too depressed, i hate to say it, but the H1 is one of the best off roaders on the planet. of course, if the wrangler came with a $100,000 price tag, im sure it would be even better! as long as it wasnt an H2 or H3 you are good.
