Maybe I'm understanding you wrong, but the Hummer is fulltime 4x4. I understand there is a lower gear case transfer, but it stays in high when driving normally (on road). The only time you use the lower transfer case is when you are off road and getting in trouble. It changes the gear ratios in the transmission allowing for more torque. You can't turn the 4x4 off in a Hummer. There is the same system in the Land Rover and G-Wagon.rileyrat said:Also many people are way to confident in its abilities and leave it in its full time 4WD setting. If they would bother shifting the transfer into high lock or 4 low it would quickly make it through anything.

You must had seen a hummer rip off or something because there is noway a Gelenderwagon is going to out do a hummer in off-road.

There has to be more to it then crossing a mud river. Mud won't stop a Hummer. What was the situation like? Was it narrow? If it was a river, was it fast flowing water? Was the river bed just mud? There could have been so many different issues that effect the way a vehicle reacts in certain terrain. I find it hard to believe that a LR or G-Wagon out performed a Hummer if it was simply a mud laden river.
