They have thier purpose. What other vehicle can go into the maneuver box with M1s nd M2s and make it out under their own power?? How many other vehicles can pull a 1 1/2 ton military trailer or get dropped from the sky and survive??

Beyond that the ones I have been in are uncomfortable noisy and drafty, bu tthey do have good radios... Can't see much use outside what they were originally built for....

Hummers are good as long as you're not buying one.

The H2 (or whatever that giant incapable thing is) is definitely gas and a joke as an off-road vehicle. Basically it's a Tahoe or Suburban skinned to look sort of like a real military Hummer. More or less a toy for the uh, phallically inadequate.

Here's a couple H2's in action:

weak front end (http://hometown.aol.com/hdhoag/images/H2KilledIT.wmv)

and

stuck on a tiny tree stump (http://web1.servforce.com/~cj8/)


A real Hummer is a totally different vehicle.

Whilst looking for a new sand sled I checked out the H3 and Nissan XTerra. The H3 has 8 inches of ground clearance at the transfer case while the Xterra had 9 inches. I have bought nothing as yet as Mama won and got a brandy new Honda Accord somehow.
Nevertheless, If I was going to buy right now it would be the XTerra but if I wait one more year Toyota is introducing a scaled down version of it's old landcruiser in the same price range as the Xterra with more head and leg room and 9.5 inches of clearance, an important factor in beach riding to me.

That new Toyota is what I have my eyes on as well. I'll be taking a good look at that truck as well as the new '05+ Tacomas when I retire my '01 Tacoma.

I will take my old Milk truck over a Hummer anyday of the week. That thing had a least 14 inches of ground clearence more storage that you would ever need and a creeper gear that was good for about 5 mph. Took that truck threw some bigtime snow and drifts never once did even come close to getting stuck. air down the duel wheels in the back and it would go threw the sand very well Im guessing. Thomt

Problem is that you can't buy a real hummer anymore. The original hummers were real hummers, but since GM took them over they are all just pickups dressed to look mean.

Four words.

Quigley GMC Diesel Van

You look down on Hummers :jump:

Duramax diesel and 4L85 Tranny, 460 foot lb torque

My new GMC will look similar to this Chevy but without the windows.

And what Don said too :eyes:

lol NIB too bad Sportsmobile lost the contract for Quigley GMC vans. They are being made exclusively by someone else now. Shame cuz this new 6.6 diesel kicks Ford's butt big time. I used to be a Ford guy though :)

You are guessing right, Thom :D

A picture of my friend Buddy's old Milk truck, Grumman Van, two wheel drive, air it down, (front and rear), thing went everywhere, I remember him going around two (4X4) buggys that were stuck in the track, pulled out, crossed track, cut a new track by them, then pulled back in... No Problems... was a real neet rig, wish I'd bought it, when he gave it up.

I like them too. The problem is my wife does not want to be seen in one. It is too high profile for our lifestyle. But an awesome vehcile. During the test drive, several people were eyeballing and pointing at us. (I told my wife it was me they were pointing at...they just think I am so good looking ) ...that didn't fly. Also, the ride is kinda course and a little loud, even in the H2 I thought. The H1 is insane. I love the look though. I would get the snorkel accessory and if they made a turret I would get that too:rotf3: The ground clearance is outragous! I think it was over 16"

(You really don't purchase that with mpg in mind)...

I remember my first hummer! It had accesories galore. I think just about every possible aftermarket bolt on accesory known to man had been added to the body. The chassis had been tightened. The body had been reworked and it was filled with top grade stuff, no bondo on my hummer. It had those new headlights that blind you when you look at them too long. You know those headlights that your willing to pay almost anything for. The seats had been covered with custom made threads too. No cheap chit from Walmart or a Cabela's catalog hiding the goodies. The rear bumper was very sturdy and had been reinforced so you could hitch almost anything to the back end. Anywhere my hummer went when it was new it stopped traffic. Even now during the winter when the shine gets a little lackluster my hummer is an eyeturner. I also have a YUGO.....:bl2:

the H2's and 3's are all show..Read the reviews on them, poor visibility, electric systems have issues, under powered, etc..the list goes on.. Now, the Toyota FJ Cruiser, that should be kinda cool. It is targeted at the 20 something group. Starting price is resonable and it's a Toyota..I love the grill, the interiors I have seen are not my style, but they should be sweet...But I wouldn't give up my 4Runner for one, well maybe:devil2:

I am going to check out the new FJ too. I have an FJ62 and I love it but rust is taking over the vehicle. The new FJ seems to be very capable offroad despite the IFS and it actually has more clearance and articulation than the cruiser that I own. The only problem is that there is a large waiting list for the FJ already.
