I agree, based on the rigs that I have seen here. $10K is more expensive to me than most, simply because I am looking to return to university in the spring, after eight years. At this point, I might be selling my Hummer just so I can keep my student loan as small as possible.

that's cool but sad to hear that you're going to sell the hummer Which university are you going to attend and whats your major?

I will be attending the University of Alberta, majoring in Biochemistry. I am lining up for Medical School there, with my final goal being a PhD with a focus in surgery. On the bright side, ten years from now, the cost of an H1 might be more reasonable.

Dude if you had a phd in surgery. im sure the cost of an h1 will be nothing to you, lol. ESPECIALLY if you a plastic surgeon =P

We'll see. I'm terrified of returning to university after eight years, especially because it means leaving my current job. Prior to working here, I was unemployed for 18 months. I'm scared that if things do not work out in university, I am going to be in the same situation.

I am in the IT Industry at the moment. It was much more fun as a hobby than as a career. I've lost almost all interest in it. So I might be advertising my H2 here soon.

Hey Ernie
My LPG tank (120 ltrs) is installed in the trunk. You do lose space. I'm gonna install a gobi roof rack for my spare tire. Now, I keep my spare in the company.
Here's some pics. It runs GREAT, you cannot feel you're running on regular gas or lpg. Even while driving, I can just switch from LPG to regulare or vice versa. But, have the installment done by a professional, 'cause there are a lot of "frauds" out there and I heard that a LPG installation, which isn't installed correct, is an expensive nightmare !









this is the button near the steering wheel to switch from lpg to regular gas and to see how much is left in the lpg tank



and the place where to put the lpg in :

You guys really think $25,000 is THAT bad? Hummm.

Remember that room in your house you redid, or the basement you finished. You thought the quotes were alot, but after 6 months working on the job, 200 trips to the home depot, and tripple the amount of money on materials you needed......you begin to understand why the contractors wanted so much. Just finished my dam cathedral ceiling project in my kitchen. =)

Kinda the same deal with a H2 duramax conversion.

But heck, it it was $10,000 I would do it. To me that would be worthwile for the duramax. Also, I think you need to take into consideration the quality of the conversion. Some I have seen are perfect down to the 4 wheel drive buttons being changed. Others are hack jobs...
