The fact of the matter is, it's often the driver, more than the vehicle. I saw four (4) SUV's stuck in the ditch on the way to Snoqualmie pass the other day. Not one sedan. Not...one... People just get stupid and don't drive for conditions. I still suspect half the SUV drivers never think to actually engage 4wd.

IFS and IRS on the H1 That is a great recovery kuddos...but Jeep or no Jeep the H1 is still a tough machine even if it is a fatty

Yeah to the guys credit he went through alot of stuff I wouldn't have dared try just that one spot got the better part of his h1 while perhaps a smaller vehicle would have been ok (I wasn't up to trying it)

Sometimes being smart makes you the better wheeler but anyhow, you actually got a pic of you pulling out an H1....thems is bragging rights round most parts

Congrats! these trucks are amazing

but on the hummer side of things... they have a trick that the
guy probably didn't know of... and if he had ABS in the 99 and
newer H1's he coulddn't use it... they call it BTM (Brake to
Manage) or something like that... you hold the brake to "lock",
in 4WL, both Diffs... very yard on transmission and from what
i gather hard to do...


i had looked into buying an older H1 (97.5 or 98) before i got my
liberty... i wanted a diesel 4 door truck and the libby wasn't out
yet... but i waited

..You might be thinking of (I think they called it) 'active traction control'.. He has Torsens front and rear, and by giving it gas while also applying the brakes it allows the torque to transfer to the wheels with more traction. ..Something like that, anyways. ..Then again, they may have lost the Torsens in the 'wussification' that led to it being renamed "H1".


Oh, and it was designed to work with ABS..

I would wreck Kate Hudson.

In civilian H1's you had 2 choices in the diffs,Torsions or Detroit's E-Locker.Military HMMWV's get the Torsions only. ABS has nothing to do with either,and riding the brakes is not hard on anything but the brakes.

I worked on and drove them for 9 years and know what they can do and what they can't(which isn't much if trained right on one),there's nothing I haven't replaced/rebuilt on one and have drove them places that built TJ's/buggies would cringe at.You can not drive a H1 like a regular 4wd vehicle,otherwise you will end up stuck or worse rolled.
