funny stuff from Top Gear! Unfortunately an H3 bites it during the shoot.

Lets take it to john bull!
bring a shoe horn and lube
In that case, just go to Oshkosh Defense and get their TAC-4 suspension upgrade for one of your H1's.
Here are some of the benefits, 17 inch ground clearance, 14 inches of independent wheel travel, 46% improvement in braking, gross vehicle weight rating increased to 18,000 lbs.
Here is the before and after shot.
love to know the real skinny on this suspension and see an example of the travel doubled when it sits at the same height (with bigger tires even). Saw this mod a while back but never really looked closely at it -- looks like they lost the geared hubs. My impression was that the cost was outrageous per truck to upgrade.
That would be cool but costs about the same as a spare Hummer I think.
Ron; I'm not sure why you say it sits at the same height. The picture I provided above shows that it sits significantly higher. They did not eliminate the portals (geared hubs) the brochure claims 4.553:1 hub reduction.
