American 4x4 Trucks in Oz - Hummer vs Jeep - Nitto Challenge

In this 4x4 video we have two iconic American trucks battle it out at Wheeny Creek aka Gees Arms South Trail. These two beasts of the 4x4 world go head to head choosing the most difficult lines and in some cases opening up new lines.

Both the Hummer H1 and Jeep Wrangler JK are both running Nitto tyres. The Hummer is sporting 40 inch Nitto Trail Grappler tires while the Jeep Wrangler is running 37 inch Nitto Mud Grapplers tyres.

The Hummer H1 is pretty much a standard 1996 model with some Alpha bits and pieces. the 40 inch tyres fit with no lift. Its still running the standard Torsen Diffs. It has a custom made front swing down bar with a Warn high mount winch.

The Jeep Wrangler JK 2 door is sitting on a 3 inch lift and is twin locked with ARB air lockers. The front has a Dana 44 diff and the rear is a Dana 60 high clearance unit.

Both trucks performed exceptionally well. We had a blast of a day and hope you enjoy the video as much as we enjoyed the trip. Be sure to subscribe for more 4x4 videos and feel free to comment and share. Dont forget to give us a thumbs up if you liked the video.

Its an interesting battle as the wheelbases of both trucks are more similar than this match up.

I'm glad there's no background music. I love hearing that diesel engine in the Hummer sing!!!

The Jeep driver is very skilled and cool looking, the guy in the Hummer needs a cigar too like Arnie lol. Love the slower technical drives rather than the flat out cv snappers. Great footage, thanks.

Two good drivers, not idiots like most i see on youtube as well as legit obsticles/mountains to climb. Best video by far to date.

19 minutes of Jeep vs Hummer gold. Nicely done.

The jeep driver is very skillful. Also I didn't realize that hummers were great rock crawlers . It's a pure billy goat.

I cannot thank you enough for keeping the original audio. So many people feel that adding music "enhances" their videos. I love that sound of raw engine power. Thanks for the vid mate.

I find slow technical driving so much cooler than rock bouncers.

wow...great video...the main reason these rigs are so great is because of the DRIVERS..BOTH THESE GUYS ARE FANTASTIC..THEY MAKE ALL THE DIFFERANCE....THEY OUGHT TO OPEN A DRIVING SCHOOL ..THEY WOULD BE BOOKED SOLID FOR A YEAR...GREAT JOB !!!!

[chriswebb]

These guys can drive, I love it!! Great video as usual!

[QKGLH]

Great video with great drivers. I'm a Jeep guy but LOVE seeing H1s in action.

[skaught]

Impressive vehicles and drivers! Looks like a fun spot to go wheelin'. The Jeep is setup perfectly

[suncraft]

Both drivers have very good driving sense. They understand own cars very well. Good line good accelework. I like this movie

[Crudelyf]

Very good vid. Shows the capability of both rigs not just a video bashing one or the other. Looks like a very fun place. The first shot where the jeep was coming down the off camber rocks i thought he was going over.

[BobLoblawbob]

Excellent driving. Amazed that big Hummer could climb with Jeep.

[JamisonMK]

Both awesome vehicles! That Jeep is badass and I love how the Hummer can just drag itself over anything. Great vid!

[casper]

That was excellent, I was twisting and turning in my chair, and yelling out loud like I was watching a heavyweight fight. They both drove their respective vehicles as they were supposed to be driven. True professionals, they both have brass knockers...lol! I now want a Hummer H3 Adventure for sure.

Great video. I have gone off roading a few times in my Humvee with people out here in Virginia, USA. The trails out here are groomed for Jeeps. If you're lucky, the Humvee fits. But you only get to choose one line. The Jeeps get to choose left, right, or center.

It was nice seeing a video with a little more space, two good drivers, and no stupid music added. Thank you!

[DarthJeep]

After WATCHING the video, I have respect for the Humvee driver. He did a good job with what he had. Good driver.
Reminds me a lot of some of the trails here in Texas. Best part of video: "How do you stall an auto?" LOL Priceless.

[off-roadingexplained]

I think this is one of the best performing Wranglers I've ever seen. I really like those tires.

I think you've got that tire pressure really tuned at The Sweet spot also.
