hey, where do you get the hummer shell that is featured in so many of the vids i've seen on here? Is it a lexan molding and is it easy to get?

cman_1500w · 07-19-2005, 10:24 AM

Pro-line makes these lexan bodies

The H2 is NOT a real Hummer. They just put a fugly body on a Yukon and slapped the Hummer name on it.

Proline has these:

Or you could always use a toy body and mount it on a TLT like I did:

Not true, actually. The H2 (and H3) are real Hummers. Hummer is a regular brand now, not just one vehicle. They designed each one for what it is, and they both retain alot of the capabilities of the H1. Not everything, but enough to consider them "real Hummers."

H1 is for people who want a really rugged vehicle.

H2 is more for people that want a Hummer they can drive around everyday, something a little more classy.

H3 is for people that like the Hummer, but not the size and gas-guzzling. It is great for people who want to do some basic offroading but not pay outrageous prices for.

fuzzhead · 07-23-2005, 01:05 PM

well the hummer, although based off of other gm vehicles, is a beefed up version. they take parts and make them stronger. for example the new h3 has an available adventure package that gives you such things as 33 inch tires and a rear locker. you dont see the colorado coming with that.

What? The real Hummer is made by AM General which I think GM has some thing to do with.... It's more military specs but with yuppy bells and whistles like a heater and a radio

IFS/IRS with portals at the hubs. I think the diffs are actually Dana 35's too from what I remember from a guy in our club that used to wheel one....

3/4 ton chevy truck with a crappy body planted on top.

And to think... You could go out and buy a FJ80 Cruiser(early '90s for not informed) and can have a rig that will allow you to run 35's with "minor" trimming and you get FACTORY(a.k.a. STOCK) front and rear e-lockers. You can even get a full floating rear if you know what to look for.

egdinger · 07-23-2005, 01:53 PM

Toyo, the h3 is not based on a 3/4 ton pickup. It is based off of gm's colorado platform, it is a bit smaller. But your right I would take a LC over a hummer any day. Also GM owns AMGeneral.

H1 are rugged vehicles

H2 are for people who would like to pretend to be rugged (urban wheelers and cant afford a real hummer)

H3 are for the people who would like to pretend to be rugged but cant even afford a H2 (even more urban wheelers)

GO BUY A YUKON OR A COLORADO AND QUIT PRETENDING TO BE SOMTHING YOUR NOT

Stoovey2004 · 07-23-2005, 10:48 PM

I'd rather buy an H1 if I had the money. I prefer the looks of the H3 over the H2, so I'd probably get that and not complain about wishing I had the money to buy a Hummer...

GM owns the Hummer brand now. AM General is no longer. Thus, the H2 and H3 are legit Hummers, just not the same as the H1. No need to get into a pissing match. The H2 and H3 are not meant to have the exact features as the H1. Different price points...but still Hummers.

rbgerrish has 2 Mogs and a Halflinger.... Just so you know, Frieghtliner deals with Unimogs. There is a fairly large Frieghtliner plant in Portland and Mogs can be had....if money is spent properly. I have a few brochures from Frieghtliner on the Mogs sitting here

What this thread comes down to is that GM autos suck. Go buy a Toyota
