Mobile H2

Agreed. I would allow a little more leeway if it was an H1.
Or even if that step wasn't there robbing ground clearance. That's why I opted to omit side steps on my Tundra. In any event it's an attractive looking package.
H-2`s are great off road vehicles, just carry some tools and a few spare tie rods, and when one breaks stop immediately, because they have been know to break the front Diff housing if you don`t.
Oh and check the pitman and idler arms often, these can wear rapidly, especially with off-road use causing the vehicle to wander on the highway.
Its a good idea to add a steering stabilizer if you plan on running oversize tires and try not to be too aggressive when off roading as the center link will flex so you might want to replace it with a stronger aftermarket product.
Also avoid spinning the wheels on the front as driveline failure can happen and if you........

It is not easy to follow a " H1" off road. thats when the radios come in handy,
i just radio ahead to let them know that i'm not too far behind.
the front-end on the H2 is an " Achilles Heel ". the one i drive is a 2003
and i am on my 3rd front-end and four sets of rubber ..........

They are a nice truck, just not really made for hard wheeling.
I do compliment you on the very clean install nice Comm set-up.

I've watched many "Off Roaders" with trucks built much tougher than
a nearly stock H2. and sometimes they don't drive back.
if i can go around a mud puddle, or rocks i do.
the stock chassis on the H2 is not too bad, it has a half cage protecting the drive
shaft but it still has vulnerable spots like rear suspension leveling sensors
which was not designed for Banche Off Road-n.
being only the 320 HP V8 it still is very torquey. and pulls pretty steadily.
and it is almost always loaded down with camping gear to the hilt.....

Nice mobile setup for sure. The ball-mounts on the side scare me though. I wanted to put one on mine but was afraid of ripping it off on something, especially off road.
Your right, sometimes it gets tight, you just have to go slow and easy.
the H2 was not made to follow Wranglers which could almost get through
any trail. The Hummer is a wide beast, sometimes every inch counts (if you
want to keep the paint looking good)
the most fun we had was driving in the back fire roads in Ontario. the trails
were semi rough but wide enough not to even pull the mirrors in.......
