Crappy Hummer

That is what happens when you take a yuppie SUV offroad. They weren't meant for that, they were meant for soccer moms and men with a severe case of smallpenisitis to drive around town.

A military hummer would kick the shit out of the civilian version. Our guys in the motorpool beat the living hell out of the hummers and had a hard time breaking anything. After doing important repairs, the one mechanic over there would grab a specific driver and say, "go try to break it. If it holds up to you, I know I did it right."

thats the problem ,the commercials show the hummer as a rugged machine, when its nothing more than a fancy transportation vehicle.

They have to though, because anyone that knows jack about the HMMWV knows that the military can take them anywhere. If they showed it as a pansy ass vehicle, no one would buy it.

Oh yeah, the bitch trying to jump the statue in her hummer takes the cake.
 
obviously you dont own one and never took one off road cause i take mine to the sand dunes and off road in colorado all the time and never met a tahoe that can go where i go in the hummer o ya and i used to talk trash about them until i bought one
 
for the price i think they are a waste.

shit for 10k you could get a CJ-7 or a fuckin toyota that would woop the shit out of a hummer for 40k less.
 
like i said i off road all the time i have owned jeeps trucks of all sorts im telling you from experience wich does better off road your not talking from experience .. I am. and lol at any jeep that want to hook up to my hummer i will pull them up the hill with me in case they cant make it up so just keep talkin out your ass buffer 1

if you're talking about an old h1 hummer with the 60 inch water fording kit put on it, then yes, you will own a lot of things in wet terrain. I'ts just been my experience watching hummers that crawling up anything they cant keep at least 4 wheels on the ground they tend to end up not doing as well or at least making it up as cleanly as a nice lifted coil spring suspension TJ.
 
ya i just had to defend when i saw the post and no i dont have the new h2 style i should have known better than to post about it lol but i just couldnt resist . i just had to calm down a sec lol its all good now sorry if i offended anyone
 
lots of soccer moms would be wupping your asses if they saw what you guys just wrote about their H2s

Well, that's what it is -- a new body on a Tahoe platform.

H2's are junk, I'll agree with that, in terms of off road capabilities.

But your above statement could not be more false. :)

Deep water fording kit HWWMV = winrar

Military equipped ones can get up to the roof and still run (provided all engine seals are good). Exhaust dumps out above the roof, air intake is at roof height. How one would drive a HWWMV in that much water I don't know. You'd need a snorkel, but being able to would be cool.

I'd love to get my hands on a surplus military HWWMV, drop a turbo diesel in there, and go offroading. Only thing a jeep would have over one of those is the ability to go up narrower trails.
 
Oh, while we're on the subject of offroad capabilities, a good driver means just as much if not more than the vehicle. I took my old S-10 Blazer, with 235/75/15s and sagging rear suspension and busted torsion bar mounts, offroad quite a few times, and I don't have much offroading experience. A lot of it is just basic common sense, which eludes most people.

Went out with a friend a few times and we hit some areas on trails that he said I'd never get through yet I proved him wrong. Large rocks scattered everywhere, fallen trees (1 foot diameter was pretty much my limit), large ruts, you name it, I got through where an idiot would have gotten stuck or broke something.

Hit the end of one trail that was blocked off with rocks so large that no offroad vehicle could've gone over. My only options were to crawl through a ditch that was a foot or so deep and 2 feet wide or drive in reverse for 1/4 mile to get off the trail. I pulled through on an angle amazingly, with only 3 tires on the ground at any given time and nothing more than AT tires. The only thing that had me worried was the fact that I was in the middle of nowhere, cell reception was shoddy at best, and I had my son with me. Had I of gotten stuck, we would have been hiking out over a mile to get back to a main road.

I need a good offroader. Don't have the money right now though. Friend bought a mid70s K5 Blazer not too long ago for $750. Slightly worked 350, 4spd, lifted, and I think 35" tires. Body is in great shape, engine is strong as hell, he basically stole it for what he paid. It's gonna be fun going out with him in that. Already told him we have to take my son with us because he loves hitting the trails. He just stares out the window in amazement.

The H2 is based on a standard Chevy Truck platform. Tahoe, Suburban, or something.
