I feel so used Webman, don't know you but you must be a great guy for Steve to bother me and make this bait request. Glad you came out of the woods and into the forum. The pics are great! Thanks for sharing!!!

Let's be realistic .... the show was not that bad ... it did not "slam" the Hummer, it only gave one view .... again, not negative.

Regarding the part about the H2 as an "SUV with GM parts" -- well, it really is ( and yes, there are a small amount of Hummer proprietary parts ) and what is wrong with that ? The design and engineering is not GM nor is any other GM vehicle capable of performing like the H2 ... the H2 has its own design and engineering ... thus, the amazing capabilities. So as I said, who cares if they used GM parts to assemble my amazing H2 ? I am lucky, just think about it ... GM parts are interchangeable so the prices to buy parts is lower and over time will remain lower ... as the junk yards fill up with GM trucks and SUV's over time, again there will be plenty of parts available to maintain your H2 affordably.

It's all about perspective...

The H1 is loaded with all sorts of parts. I may not have the mix perfectly right...but from what I hear, there are parts from GM, Ford, Chrysler and a host of other manufacturers in that thing. The H1 is no pure-breed by any stretch of the imagination.

Several H1 owners have come to regard the utilization of GM parts as a positive aspect. After getting the pricing and availability of some H1 exlusive parts...nobody bats an eyelash at the convenience, affordability and availability of time-tested GM parts! I understnad an H2 heater-core to cost about $175, whereas an H1's cost about $2,500....come on back good buddy???

You want the truth??? Here's the truth: the unique dynamic that makes a Hummer a Hummer is this: fully independent suspension, gear-driven hubs for amazing clearance and CTIS. The H2 doesn't really have these features...it's more along the lines of conventional SUV's...but it is packed with lots of reinforcement, a super 4x4 system and lots of great feaures...

Bottom line: we're having a blast with 'em!!! And aside from a weak tie-rod issue, they seem to be pretty darn solid. The smiles on our faces says enough!

Does anybody know when the next time the History channel is going to air the segment on the H-2. I went on their website and checked the T.V. section for future shows and could not find it. Thanks

The spot is called "Tactical to Practical" and I believe it's #1. Unfortunately, they are only showing #3-4 right now, but keep an eye out for reruns of #1.
