I'm not a huge fan of the H1 and H2, but I do like the H3. With a solid front axel and good tires (which are both available aftermarket) it would make an excellent off-roader due to it's smaller size, strong frame, 4:1 transfer case, 4.30 rear, available manual transmission, ect.

It's also a true truck based SUV which is near impossible to find now. In a few years, when the price goes down (or they come out with an H3 that has the diesel and six-speed manual they've been working on), I wouldn't mind picking one up. Mine would become a dedicated off-road/Bug-out vehicle though.
