    LOL speaking of hummers.
    I was wheeling once with some friends and we saw some guy with a H2 stuck and he had no clue what he was doing. We told him to lock his diff and he didn't even know what that meant.

    Then when he asked us to winch him out we said sure but we werent hooking up (just not something I would ever do because then they could blame you if something breaks) and he had no clue where to hook onto.

    Sometimes people buy these vehicles that are supposed to be great off road and think oh I bought this I wont get stuck I can do anything now.

    Yes they are stronger. I know I drove them for 2 years when I worked at the hummer dealership. I was talking more about wheel travel and dynamics. I don't know the exact numbers... Try trying to get the point across you don't need a solid front axle to be a great wheeler...

    I wouldn't say the 200 series is a great technical wheeler, but it is an overlanding beast.

    Also it's the platform for basically all Toyota and Lexus SUV's/Trucks. So if your hating on the LC/LX your basically hating on your Tacoma..
