it is a sweet rig, but the same goes with a jeep... if you take chevy or ford axles, fox shocks, custom suspension, h1 recentered bead locks and basically gut it and re do the rig, its a really sick rig but it isnt much of a hummer anymore, so is it really still a h2? in my eyes it has the h2 body lines but, its one sweet custom rig that started life as a hummer

im not bashing it because id drive the wheels off of it

I can't believe anyone cares. Deep pockets empty pocket, does it really mater? I'll drive anything, if it's crap I stop driving it. This guy may have spent 50gs on that, but by pay scale if I spend 5gs on mine someones going to think ur crazy.I never did get the " we hate hummers" thing, I'll wheel with anything( my have to help some) but I'll never hate on some one for what they drive or how much they spend on there hobby. Really if money was no object, what would you drive? Everyone likes to say "my good ol Cherokee", but be honest we'd all drive that thing.

ok i have to say props on the work done real impressive

as i read this thread i see alot of BS for and against the hummer for some ok not your taste or mine but good work at any rate

alot of people saying its a waste of money and that where it becomes questionable

will it be used
its built to wheel and very well might get used to wheel but no matter how good the driver theres always that one trail that will leave its mark
would you rather spend 10 bucks fixing a rig worth 2-3k or 5k fixing a rig that probably worth more then my house
all about your personality and bank account i guess
personally i wouldnt spend the money but if it gets used props to the owner
if it becomes a mallcrawler and that ramp it the biggest climb it ever makes the the owner is a jackass no matter how deep his pockets
however thats just my veiw

didn't say i wouldn't drive it, i would wheel the hell out of it just to see what it could do. is it well built, yes......would i own it, no....., would it make it through some of the trails i would like to go through, no, would my Jeep after i am done with it......yes, my decision to drive a Jeep is based on a few things

1. Tradition as the first capable offroad vehicle used by our troops (nothin beats a ******), infact the grill design is of the Hummer is based from a Jeep, so feel proud and flattered that bummer is trying to be like a Jeep, bummer it isn't though.

2. Size, I don't care how well built your vehicle is, if there are 2 boulders 6ft apart and your rig is an 8 ft wide Hummer.....your not going to make it , my small bodied Cherokee will though (with some body damage...but it will make it)

3. Weight, You can have the best tires out there, with bead locks and aired down to 3psi, i don't care what you have, if it's heavy, you can't beat physics , my light Cherokee will though.

i would spend 10k to buy an XJ, and build it better than that, give it to a Veteran, and dontate the other 40k to Veteran's Charity organization....

maybe it's just my opinion......or maybe it's just the practical side of me coming out but i think more would come from that option than doing this.....or hey, build 4 jeeps for 10k each and make 4 Vets happy?
