The original jeep was DESIGNED for nothing but off road use, and the CJ5 had almost zero changes from that design. The cj7 was the first major redesign and it was done almost 10 full years before the hummer came out and considering AMC (the guys who built jeep before chrysler) made the original hummer i dont think anyone was embarrassed into anything. get your facts straight AND gtfo.

You know what symbolizes what was wrong with Jeep? My Miata came with recovery hooks, yet I had to install them on my XJ!! Why? Because Chryser was run by beancounters, not the car enthusiasts. They crippled otherwise well engineered vehicles for the same of saving a few beans, because they knew their intended purpose was mallcrawling. AMC didn't make the original HMMWV, it was always AM General.

AMC IS AM General, dip****. Know what, you are an uninformed moron and i almost feel bad e-fighting with you because it is like fighting Helen Keller if she was also autistic. There are so many flaws in that last statement you wrote that I could type a whole novel about what a moron you are and still have room for a second volume.

Easy there guys, your argument about AMC and AM General isnt right on either side. AMC never made a HMMWV because AM General was bought out in 1983 by LTV and AMC was disolved in 1988 and most of its staff was absorbed by Chrysler. AM general has been a completely seperate company for close to thirty years now. So AM General is not AMC, but it used to be a subsiduary of AMC.
http://www.amgeneral.com/corporate/history.php "In 1983, the LTV Corporation bought AM General from American Motors Corporation and established it as a wholly owned subsidiary of the LTV Aerospace and Defense Company. In 1984, the AM General headquarters moved from the American Motors AMTEK Building to Livonia, Mich. and two years later to South Bend, Ind. where the primary manufacturing operations were located."

How many TJs came with skid plates? The H3 comes with them standard. I don't think a single one of Jeep's competitors has tow hooks as optional equipment, because that's stupid for an offroader.
Optional recovery and armor aside, small tires and weak axles were the norm for Jeeps until the JK. No Hummer ever came with an axle as crappy as the Dana 35 or tires smaller than 32".

let's see more rescues and stay on-topic?! FWIW, if i'm cruising over the Rubicon, which we do often, hands down i'm in the 81 Scrambler. Now, if i'm over in sand land fighting haji, then by all means give me an up armored Humvee--- each are specialized tools for the specific job to get done. So there is room for both IMO.
