    HUMMER H2 Overland truck

    I’ll add, I’ll rag on the 60/65 as much as most but honestly I don’t hate it. It’s extremely simple, cheap, has a dedicated aftermarket and doesn’t have stupid ass slams and clunks like the modern 8 and 10 speeds all have today giving me whiplash in every business travel rental I get, and there...

    HUMMER H2 Overland truck

    I haven’t seen anything on YouTube in a decade or so, I’ve only seen it done through the forums and seen good results through those that have completed it there. I’m sure like anything with driveline changes involved if you don’t start with the right components and don’t understand the...

    HUMMER H2 Overland truck

    Couple pictures, I’m betting if your truck wasn’t built with air then you probably don’t have the weldments on the frame for the tray

    HUMMER H2 Overland truck

    I don’t actually know how much you can see of the pump but I’ll grab a picture - you might be able to fabricate a new mount or find a dead pump assembly for cheap to strip and replace with a good air pump. 37s make a huge difference in my opinion. Alongside the weight you’re running you would...

    HUMMER H2 Overland truck

    The 08-09 interior is light years better (except for seat comfyness) but similar to the H3T those trucks are even more rare.

    Does your truck have factory air suspension? Mine did and I’ve disabled it - that location, behind the rear bumper in my opinion is perfect for a compressor. If you don’t have factory air I can take a picture looking up at the air suspension plate for an idea. You run a lot of weight - I don’t...

    HUMMER H2 Overland truck

    I have a couple low volume vehicles including a manual SS sedan and old 4x4 IH pickup - and I’m struggling with getting an H3T. I want a H3T Alpha triple locked, but parts beyond the driver door and back are hard as hell to find - either you got into the platform when it was brand new and have...

    HUMMER H2 Overland truck

    The TC isn’t terrible - it’s not so great with mud, I’ve had the rear axle with both rear tires in a red clay ditch with the front two tires on asphalt and in standard AWD mode it didn’t want to slow my rear enough to send power up front - but in most cases it’s perfectly adequate between bigger...

    HUMMER H2 Overland truck

    The early front diff on the H2 isn’t quite the same diff (strength wise) as the later model years (08-09) - it was an aluminum case and spinning 35/37s locked just wasn’t a good idea for warranty purposes. Hummer was very good as a brand for replacing parts damaged from offroad use within reason...

    HUMMER H2 Overland truck

    So fwiw, this is my experience with tires. I’ve had the original factory KO1s I then went to Cooper STT Pro (the old design) in 35x12.5r17. They wore (and rode) like iron, seriously I got 56k miles out of them and they weren’t horrendous when I changed them out. I could tell a slight power...

    Question about 2500 HD for Overland Platform

    This, this is a highly underlooked aspect of GM 3/4-1 ton frames, they hang super low. I think it’s been greatly improved on the newest generation but this has been a pretty big issue for several generations.

    HUMMER H2 Overland truck

    The H2 was meant for 37s, the stock tire size just doesn’t do anything for me. Random assorted pictures, first pic stock (worn out) tires, second pic factory rock rails(could use a little modification to keep rocks from getting wedged in but still a solid effort for a factory standard rock...

    HUMMER H2 Overland truck

    Sweet an H2 build, it’s a severely underrated platform I’ve enjoyed for 14 years now - I’m about an encyclopedia of information for H2s. It has received completely undeserved hate by people that are unable to tell me what it “should be”. Engineers took the best parts out of the early 00s parts...
