H2 = a waste of time
I am an AF mechanic so I get to drive the Mil-spec H1's all the time. They are very reliable if you and only if you maintain them properly. I was in Iraq with H1's in 110-120 degree whether and many sandstorms. Anything that can survive there is a beast. You might want to look into getting a Mil-spec H1. There are many ways to go about doing it. You might be able to get one a lot cheaper.
H1 > every other truck/SUV type thing

Buying one from the Marines is like buying an S from a teenager who drag raced it and then used it to teach his gf how to drive manual.

saying a h1 is better then any other tuck/suv/blah is like saying a hayabusa is better than a vespa
h1 is the waist of time as it will be in the shop more than your garage. do yourself a favor and stay away= speaking from first hand experience

Just get an F-350, Dodge 2500/3500 or GM 2500/3500 with diesel engine and 100K miles. You'll spend similar money, get a far more reliable and usable vehicle, and you'll always be able to fix it without any issues.

yea a h1 is great if you have full time mechanics on staff and you can maintain and replace parts at will with no regard to cost or anything else.

^Mil-Spec is just that. It's made to the specifications that the military sets forth. It's much different from the H1 and can't be compared.

The thing about them is, if you are say in the desert where trail width is not much of an issue they can go many places. If you are anywhere else they are just ****** worthless as they are too wide and too heavy.
I can't think of a dumber work vehicle, well maybe an S2000 or miata. If you need to haul shit and move stuff get a ****** pickup truck. They are built for these purposes.
