Re: What model H1 to get?
Lockers can be put in any truck, regardless of year. So don't limit your thinking because of something that can be purchased at several places for about $1700 a diff (and that's the whole diff, so you can keep the stock ones as spares...or return the stock ones and get back $300 to $400 each). And for what it's worth, I've been wheeling for 2 years in my 97.5 and I've gone everywhere with btm the locked trucks have gone. To ease the stress on the t-case from btm'ing, I recently put a detroit in the rear. So far it's pretty point and shoot.
Just do us all a favor...if you actually get an Hummer, wheel it. Don't just drive around town like a poser. A dirty hummer is a happy hummer.
The 97.5 I got was really nice (almost too nice) when I bought it...in hind sight, I would've bought an older truck and upgraded all the half shafts/balljoints/etc so I didn't feel too guilty beating it up on the trails.
