Couple things
1) that's not a jeep, that's a tractor with YJ cab
2) comparing an H1 to a jeep is... <eye roll and head shake>
3) that thing needs a better locker up front

I saw it get halfway up-you call that climbing?
screw all that noise...I'll take a Pinzgauer or a Unimog...that is...if I find a need to do that kind of thing....thankfully, I don't, so my Subaru Baja does me fine currently, but a Toyota FJ does appeal to me a lil bit...and an old Rover Defender 90 would be cool as well...

My Unimog. Sold it to a member of this board. Pics are from Ouray.

I can't take Jeep seriously until all their offroad models are diesel or multifuel.
I've been reading a lot about diesel lately to replace my gas shop truck.
I'm liking what I'm reading.

No, as in replacing it entirely. 1/2 ton silverado is lacking, especially with the 5-3/4' bed.
Looking at F350 with the 6.0 turbo diesel with single rear wheels, crew cab 8' bed.

are you planning to pull houses around?
Actually, no towing.
Just hauling 2000-4000 pounds of parts/material around town.
Even if the gas mileage is the same (or even a bit less than what I get now) there would be a time and fuel savings cutting the number of trips in half.

QuoteThe special forces variant called the Pegasus is the sexiest member of the family. It is named after the Pegasus Bridge crossing the Caen Canal the British 6th Airborne Division wrenched from the Germans in the invasion of Normandy in World War II. Lets just say Newman might have met a different fate at the end of Jurassic Park if he was driving this Jeep variant with two .50 caliber machine guns mounted to the Jeep’s roof and backseat.
Pegasus was built to load inside a CH-47 Chinook with the ability to unload it in 15 seconds. The Jeep is powered by a direct injection, common rail, turbo charged, intercooled diesel engine. The 24 volt electrical system features one NATO jump socket with two USB sockets.
That's awesome

Here's a Unimog that could take the place of your tractor.

I'd embarrassed if it took me that many tries to get through a mud hole with that much hardware.
Unimogs rock. We used a bus made from one for a 3-week camping adventure in the Outback. It was quite capable.
The badge-less utes look like RZRs

It only has the one mount there on the passenger side. I'll pull a 240 out of the safe and snap a pic.

I'm not so sure of that, I thought it was at first but it would be an extremely short wheelbase tractor. When he finally makes it through the first pit you get a good look at the frame, looks like YJ with Rockwells. He'd go a lot further without the duals.

Yep, tractor
Once you replace all the hardware that counts
It is no longer identified by the sheet metal hanging off of it
It becomes a tractor
Or
A buggy, rail, crawler, or any other applicable name for a home made 4x4

A young fellow with a brand new H1 (right after they became available in civilian dress) showed up at a Land Cruiser club run I used to frequent with my much-missed FJ40. We were happy to ride with anybody and the inter-brand shit-flinging was all in fun, but the kid's incessant chatter about how he was going to show us how a real off-road vehicle worked quickly got tiresome. When the ride leader said we'd be heading for a trail we all knew, there were smiles all around - because we remembered the tight squeeze between those two huge oak trees that was mighty snug for the FJ60s in the group. I think the guy he spent the rest of the run riding with was nice enough to give him a lift back to his parked Hummer.
