Not sure, but I think the driver had a heart attack. I heard it all started on the interstate and ended up here after several impacts.

This is a pic of the H2 that was crashed by the Hummer dealer in Alaska - just from a different angle than I have seen posted before.

And you are right - there were "a few" other cars involved.

I know I've seen this image before. I believe the stories goes something like this...
The person was a dealer on his way home, and had some kind of attack. He actually ran into 3 or 4 other vehicles before he went head on with this pickup truck.
The good part was, no one was killed in this accident.
So yes, Hummers are meant to take a beating!

Thanks! Thats the info I needed, a friend sent me that picture. I replied asking him where the big truck is that the H2 hit first, because that pickup did not cause all that damage. I guess a van and 4 others verify my suspicions.

"Rodney Udd, who owns the Hummer of Alaska dealership in Anchorage, was treated at and released from Providence Alaska Medical Center on Monday after he drove his Hummer through a red light, hit two vehicles and then sped down the road, where he hit two more vehicles, police said. "

And if you read the story, you will find that two of the other vehicles he hid slammed into other cars, bringing the total to seven damaged vehicles.

One of those things that would have been interesting to see happen for sure.

Just finished watching "History of the world." That was a funny one, gotta go rent "Blazing saddle." Forgot about that one, that fireside scence was a classic. I loved Mel Brooks.
Both black photos are same H2, but I think the junk yard moved it. No story, HeeHaw posted them a year ago. The Jeep rearended H2 one was our member AZ. Here it is.

Our member Peter was one of the first one to rolled and totalled a Hummer H2. His insurance company gave him a brand new one, see, you really don't need to shoot any vandal, your insurance company will take good care of you, sometimes, not all the time.

A note about that Alaska accident. The driver is the Hummer dealership owner, H2 ran over and into several others autos before it did a head-on with that truck. The newspaper claimed he had a heart attack. The front end did exactly what it was designed to do, crumbled for safety. See the passenger compartment is in solid shape, if everyone has seatbelt, everyone will be okay. We need to point that out to people who don't know how to read this photo.

The first pic in the post (Alaska wreck) also happened in or about August 2002. It's old, old. You can also see it at several Anti-H2 hate sites.

As for the other wreck pics -- most have been shown before. Mac just likes to save them. This is also one way he keeps his posts up.

Some of the people who have been around for a long time have to slow down and act dumb a little. Every organization needs new blood to keep it fresh and vibrant, to replace the old ones who drift away. You have seen it does not mean they have seen it. It is not encouraging to new friends that you kept on jumping in to scream REPOST! I reposted INTENTIONALLY for them.

All:

I have been in contact with a local "source" on this accident, (first pic). The police suspect the owner (Anchorage Hummer,) had a seisure (as he has had a history of such). The owner just claims his foot slipped off the brake and hit the gas. There is some dispute as to whether the owners drivers license was under suspension at the time for medical reasons, and is in the court system being resolved. If you ask me...one's foot slipping off the brake would not have developed into a high speed/multiple vehicle collision of this nature. Sorry AH

I work for a body shop I can tell ya the H2 is bullt to save lives but not it's self. it is built much like a geo as far as being able to take a hit and drive away. h2's are just a Tahoe with larger axles and a heavier body.Most SUV's on the road today can take a hit better than an h2 except the expedition or navigator wich are awfull as well. That why you got insurance though right, you walk away insurance pays you off.

Please display your ignorance somewhere else. There are no major components that's shared with the Tahoe.

The chassis is a three-piece, fully welded, boxed ladder-type frame with many hydroformed components. Some chassis and steering components are shared with the 2500-Series Suburban and the 1500 Suburban, but most of those shared parts have been heavily modified.

Among the shared and/or modified items from the 2500 Suburban are the H2's front third of the frame, the steering system and basic brake system. The rear third of the H2's frame was adapted from the 1500 Suburban. The H2's center frame as well as the flat crossmembers that are used around the transmission mounting area are all unique to the H2.

12-18-2003, 01:53 PM

here is my big question, what the F is wrong with tahoes? They are nice trucks. Obviously they can't do what an H2 can offroad, but why do stupid ignorant Trolls always come in here and say it's a glorified Tahoe like it is something bad. At least it isn't a glorified Jeep, or a glorified Toyota. Tahoes are nice, and not cheap either. So GM shares parts and or chassis frames. BFD. I really could care less. My truck is still much cooler than yours at the end of the day. Plus a hell of a lot more comfortable. I would like to see a stupid jeep hit a side angle that our Hummer can. Oh wait, they roll over. Oops. There is a reason the military switched away from Heeps. Hmm, if H1's are OK,, and an H2 can go just about anywhere an H1 can (ask H1ers that have wheeled with h2s) then H2s must be OK too, regardless if it is a GM product. These uneducated Trolls are lame. Forget about wheeling with you. I only wheel with edumacated folk.

Argo,

Nothing wrong with Tahoes or Yukons. The problem is the inaccuracy of the statement. I have not read anything where the H2 shares a major component with a Tahoe/Yukon. When someone comes in here with juvenile statements like H1'S R OK has made, they are doing nothing but trying to stir things up. It's sad that the person whose tongue is laced with ignorance is the one who seems to speak the most and the loudest.

12-18-2003, 02:35 PM

I would have to say that the H2 is an extremely capable vehicle that I have great respect for. I often off road with these "glorified" tahoes and say wow at what they can do. I have an H1 and the H2's that I run with do amazing things. People that put down the Hummer in any form are jealous because they can not get one. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Please do not read too much into my reply, I think that the H2 is an incredible vehicle and I used "glorified" tongue in cheek. I believe that I have off roaded with you Alec and you should know my respect for the H2. I am trying to say the same thing that you are. I just laugh at the unfortunate people that cast opinion on the Hummer H1 and H2 without having the opportunity to drive or own one.

We built a lot of the dies to stamp the inner sheet metal for the H2, H2 SUT and now the H3.
The metal was a pain to draw because most of it is double thickness. 2 mm instead of 1 mm and some was 1.5 mm instead of .75mm like most other vehicles are made of.
This is also high tensile strength metal too.
Why do u think the H2 weighs more than the other SUV (U got to love American IRON).

We do need to fight the eco-terrorist. I support that fully, however, I also like the competitiveness of competing brands and a little constructive smack talking. It just makes it more fun just like talking about sports teams or anything for that matter. I always get a little peeved when people say "I'll wheel with anyone, I just wanna have fun". I just don't believe it. It is human nature to be competitive. It's healthy as far as I'm concerned.

So, if other trucks come along with us on adventures I would certainly be civil and nice to them but would hope that they get stuck so I have the opportunity to pull them out and then rib them about it. If I get stuck and get picked on that's fine too. After all it's not about the individual, it's about the truck, nothing personal.

So, jeeps suck, tacos suck, land rovers really suck and Hummers rule http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I like H2's I joined to find some guys that might like to go wheeling with us and I found a few. the h2 is built on a GMC yukon frame. do the research. I am sorry I have a tendancy to come off wrong as I did here, my bad I am known for that, please accept my appology. As to the statement an h2 is a glorified yukon or suburbon, yes thats true but they look way cooler in my opinion. They realy are not all that capable of a trail machine but I would not buy one to beat on the trail, thats why I bought and modified my Rubicon. I did not mean to be a troll and piss you off.

Dan

12-18-2003, 06:46 PM

From Rockcrawler.com:

"Though the H2 began life using more of a Suburban frame, the final frame assembly is made up of 3 sections. The front uses a modified GM 2500-Series utility frame. The mid-section is all new and is completely boxed. The rear section uses a modifed GM 1500-Series frame which is upgraded for 8000 pound gross vehicle weight. Front and rear receiver mounts with 9000 pound winch capability are integrated into the frame. The rear hitch has an estimated 7000 pound capacity."

So its not a Yukon frame. The middle section is totally new. And the front & rear frame pieces that were taken from the existing GM parts bin were modified.

The H2 is built on a series 800 chassis that has been dramatically modified and reinforced. It actually more resembles the Suburban frame then a Tahoe.

well i think those H2's are pretty bad azz, thats why i want one. they seem to be built strong enough for what most people will use them for (off road wise) and yes they have limitations just like EVERY vehicle. and so far i have only seen a weak point in the drive train , that being the tie rods.. but thats a small issue that can be dealt with easy...i can wait to get mine....way down the road.....

I find it interestting the false concepts people have about the H2 and other vec.. I posted on our stores website bulletion board taht we are adding a new product line.. Explained that we are adding H2 accessories. I got a response from one guy " IS it Humvee parts or parts for the Soccer Mom Hummer.

I explained the H2 to him and he never responded.

It's just funny what peoples ignorance will do to them.
