I don't know if this is the right place to post this so please move if it is in the wrong place.

I am searching for a video of a hummer from a few years back scaling a 90 degree wall. I've been looking all over for it and haven't been able to find it, anyone know of it or am i being dellusional.

H1Hummer Owner 10-10-2005 11:43 PM

Your level of dellusionalability, is dependent on the height of the 90 deg wall.

A few feet high...sure.


10 feet high? No way.

SquashGiga 10-10-2005 11:59 PM

Well i don't mean it went over the wall, just that the vehicle stands on the two rear wheels, i swear i've seen it somewhere =/.

I've got videos of H1's scaling the stock 22 inch vertical wall.

Is that what you're looking for?

JollyRoger 10-18-2005 01:28 PM

I've personally done this, It was extremely stupid, and I would never do it again, especially since the bumper dug in, and I almost didn't get out of it! And no, it won't actually climb the wall, just stand up.

Also, you end up with all the hot antifreeze going everywhere from the overflow tank!

You can also burn up your Tranny.

Wow, tough crowd! So here's my 2 cents.
90*'s 10 feet high, is this not otherwise known as VERTICLE? And by that definition would the hummer BE verticle just before it pitched itself backwards onto it's LID? I don't know, maybe it's just me.

Yep, that about sums it up.

Giga, maybe you could be a little more specific to help us figure out exactly which vid you're looking for.

DennisAJC 11-03-2005 04:29 AM

You're a little off.

Do a Goggle search for H2 verticle climbs.

Anything less I can e-mail you a video clip from Power Rangers of Razerriptor scaling the Hoover Dam.

We've always said that all along.

"Why buy an H1 when you can have an H2 or H3 that does the exact same thing?"

Whenever I see an H1 I always laugh and think how sorry I feel for the poor sap that spent all that money and they still have a hard time following the H2. They look ridiculous driving around downtown parked in front of the Starbucks all spotless. They're also a nightmare to maintain and breakdown too often.

Smart move in getting an H3.

H1 = Blinged H2

Raaaarrr!!! RMST is e-scrambling. He's on the verge of e-pooping his e-pants.

Friend:

I'm visiting from the H2 forum. I know the video you are talking about. It shows an H2 climbing up on a 16" high platform. It is very impressive. I saw it once and didn't bookmark it. I have since looked all over for it, and I have never found it and have given up.

At least you're not delusional (or at least not alone in your delusion).

If anyone ever finds it, I'd like to see it again.

Best regards,

George

Phil, I dn't remember reading this, did you have to lock the front for that? It looks like you had it on.

DennisAJC 12-24-2005 08:49 PM

Don't listen to Phil.

His rig is ALL stock.

the camera angle also makes it look like he has
a lift - but that is just camera trickery...bone
stock phil is what we call him...

AlamoJim 01-03-2006 02:29 PM

totally stock - even got the sticker in the window still...must be the dirt that distorts
the image...

"There is no lift and there is no upgraded tires. It's all a U.S. plan to over throw our pleasant vacation country."

AlamoJim 01-04-2006 12:18 PM

VIVA LA RESISTANCE!

I just wish you had the pic with the tank right behind him...that would be even better...

Vamtac 02-19-2006 07:16 AM

That H2 at tims rock...

a H1 would smoke that. very impressive for an H2 though.

RIC-H0 02-19-2006 05:00 PM

I know of atleast 4 different H1's that have tried to scale Tims rock and have failed!
Check your info prior to spouting out!

I love all these web wheelers who think they know everything by looking at an image on their PC monitor </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

yes im a webwheeler and ive owned a H1 since 97 and a spanish built vamtac t7 since 01. The company i own specializes in H1 engine swaps to a supercharged 8.1 gm, ford triton V10 and twin turbo steyr monoblock. We also build a complete suspension lift for the H1 not a BL like the Alpha.

What locking diffs did the H1s have? Standard of aftermarket air/e-lockers?

Im sorry but my H1 or VH1 would make short work of that little rockery.
