New H2
New H2 I bought. A little scared to take off road bc I dont wanna damage it. Do chrome wheels scratch up very easily from off roading? And how do yall think it will do in mud? Sorry very new to this stuff, I've always drove beamers and mercedes so i never had a chance to get a h2 even tho i always wanted one. thx! BTW has 4" Rancho suspension lift and Toyo tires. also any advice would be great!

Easy! Start out slow and be carefull. As your skills improve you can get more adventurous. Find someone to go with you and give you some tips and guidance.

Chrome doesn't really scratch. If you hit something hard enough to cause damage it will be a gouge. And you can not "touch up" chrome. Once you hurt it it's hurt forever. Chrome wont get you home! And, even if you don't damage them, they will eventually peel.

With those tires, not very well. Those are a premium AT tire, and are great for mostly hiway with a little very mild offroad. They wont do very well in deeper mud. They can also be a little slick in wet and snow. aftermarket siping helps wet/snow traction a lot.
It looks great. What year and how many miles? You'll have to figure out just how you want to use it. That will determine what kind of things are appropriate for you. Tires, wheels, etc. Congratulations and welcome!

Re: New H2
Welcome to the list and welcome to the group of yellow HUMMER owners.
In Nw Fla we do not get to do rock climbing but if you want to get in any
thing like mud and sand you are gonna need to get different tires.
Take everything slow though and it will work out in the end.
