I have just been told that my Hummer H2 SUV is not repairable and is a write off.
The Chassis has been shunted by 6" forward on the driver side, and therefore technically cannot be repaired.
I will purchase a new one but wanted opinions on what to purchase the H2 or H2 SUT.
Comments and advise would be much appreciated from you guys/girls out in the field.

Ever consider taking cash from the insurance, and then buying a new frame from GM and changing the frame? I've had to change a Hummer frame, and it's not as difficult as it may sound. The total bill parts and labor would be around 8,000. Maybe you can still keep yours and make a little profit at the same time.

Yeh, this is an idea, the insurers over here will write it off, and i will try and buy back then fix and sell. I would have to show them that i have scrapped the chassis, which is not a problem.
But still looking to buy a Black SUT though with the insurance money.

The black looks great on the SUT, that's the way I'd go if I were you.

Scrap it and get the SUT. More useable ( at least for my purposes)

I love my Red Metalic SUT. The only thing I am thinking about, is removing the spare so I can drive with the gate open for larger loads.

Hey Dan, how much time does it take to remove spare? Also, what do you do with the wire for the tag light? One last thing..Did you use the kit to re-attach the tag?

I kinda like the rear tire carrier but the chrome/plastic tag mount definitely has to go. That custom fab is in the works and the tag will remain on the tire.

I've grown fond of the stealth gray in an SUT, but wouldn't trade my pewter '03 for anything!

Glad you like the bed rack! It's a GOBI, of course.

It takes all of 20 minutes to do the swap. Tire carrier off, SUV tow loops on. I devised my own plate mount and have a lighted plate frame. I'll get a better pic later & post it for you. In the pic I posted above I have a cheapie light rigged up temporarily.
