Dragon,

Just a couple of questions (BTW, I have done the reverse, mine had no carrier & I installed the carrier from the SUT on my SUV).

1. How far off are the holes on the bumper vs the the hinge mount? Most after-market carrier end up using the factory pattern?

2. Couldn't you simply leave the hinge side (passenger side, oops, driver side for across the pond) of the mount on and just lift up & off the swing arm, at least on the SUT model, the arm is simply dropped into the hinge, no clips nor retainer.

In replacing the longer bolts, I think you could probably source them easier now that you know the size without going thru a dealer. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Hey, Sclui56,

1. There are 3 "holes" in the bumper - two which are the anchor points for the standard hummer "hooks" (I dunno what they really call 'em), and one which is kinda in the middle of the two with a bolt which is screwed right into the bumper. The middle one (which is right in even after I've removed the mount) is not quite perfectly centre, meaning that the holes in the standard Hummer hooks don't match up with the bolt. I wanted to know what these "other" bolts were for - if they're not attached to anything that is gonna fall off, I'd just take 'em out.

2. I could have left the Spare wheel mount brackets on there, but I'm more or less certain the carrier won't be going back on the car whilst I own it. I like the uncluttered look of the H2, so I didn't want the hinges left on, hence the reason for all this.

Oh, and all Hummers worldwide are Left Hand Drive. Even in the UK. In my humble opinion, it'd be wrong to have an american built car that was right hand drive - when I owned Corvettes, I hated it when they talked about producing a RHD version...
