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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

MAC,
Just pulling your leg about the book. Back in the stone age when I took driver's education in high school, we were required to buy that book and read it.

Black H1, if you are the person I think you are I drove your Black H1 for a few minutes. That was fun, thanks for the opportunity. I have some pics and video from that trip that I need to put up here one of these days.
Alec,
I am the one that you think and I want to see the videos, I also need your address for the pics of the trip, we may do another one on 9-11 of January with some of the same guys if you would like to attend. Let me know if this could be an option.
Peace <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

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

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.
thanks
