there has been a problem with the front diffs and the gears not being hardened. I think that's fixed now, but I know at least three people on a local hummer forum that have had diffs blow in Moab. Not fun. Hopefully that issue is near to be over. Are they the same diffs in the colorado? ron b

thanks mick, I love it -- right now it's pretty much completely stock save for the obvious racks and steel rocksliders. I've been itching to airbag the truck for a while, but all that complexity might be something else to let me down when I'm far far away. A simple lift might be better in the...

it certainly was fun...it's a great trail. The group I wheel with have adopted it along with another group from Victorville. I highly recomend it to anyone who likes something a bit more technical than the average bunny trail. On a 1 to 10 scale of difficulty, I'd say it's a good solid 6...

a small group showed, there were 5 trucks total. Some of the locals here in LA should come along sometime. There are bypasses around all of the crazy stuff. It was a great time, and the weather was perfect. Here are a few snapshots of some fun spots on the trail, and a nice picture someone...

I've been toying with the idea of putting air springs on my truck for a while now (smoother ride on rough surfaces as well as the ability for several inches of lift to escape high center situations). Being all independant suspension throws a wrench in the works, but it's still doable. here's a...

wow those trucks are cool! I'd love to come wheeling with you somwtime (whether it's as a passeger or following in my hummer). I am also in the LA area and frequent the trails around Arrowhead and Big Bear. Ron B

thanks Scott - I'd love to hook up with some locals from this site. Was hoping a few would like to join us -- it's a fun trail, and mildly challenging with no carnage...maybe a little brushrake possible? We will most likely meet at the 15/138 at the MacD's (1 exit north of the Cleghorn exit)...

Some friends and I are going to run 2N17X near Silverwood Lake (and maybe Cleghorn as well) on Saturday Sept 16th if anyone would like to come along. It's a fun trail...and not too long. Barring any unforseen problems, it should be a short day. here are a few snapshots from a trail...

great pictures...I've come accross pictures your truck before I even owned one. I used swamper tsl-sx's until recently -- one of them literally desintigrated on the freeway (5000 miles and one year old). I pick up my irok radials from the tire shop manana. I know I'll miss the gnarly...

Check out this very early sales video -- I'm guessing it's from the mid 90's. I'd never seen it before. There's some cool wheeling and interesting info in it. Remember none of the hummers in the video have lockers, it's all old school btm. They are right off the showroom floor...

Azskyrider, sorry about the misunderstanding. I don't put too much faith in the magazine reviews...especially when comparing 4x4's. I'd like to see how each of these trucks would do on a real trail. I think the fj and the h3 would really shine. Ron B

I think in '05 they were re-tooling for the Alpha model with the duramax/allison combo. One on the reasons they were available in the first place was to keep the factory open when we weren't "getting our war on". They've been so busy cranking them out for the past few years, the civi models...

since this is the appropriate thread...here are the production numbers by year. It's interesting how few there really are, especially compared to the H2's and H3's being pumped out at 40,000 to 60,000 units per year. HUMMER H1 Model Year Production Numbers: Model Yr Civilian H1 Hummers...

$80k for an H2 is pretty rediculous. The msrp for an '07 is $55k. I guess spinners and gold plated roof-rack could bump it up that high? RB

looks wonderful! I too find I have less and less time for the important things. I didn't make it all the way to the top of Whitney this year, too much snow for me. Ron B

this doesn't happen in my h1, I have only had positive reactions. Usually people smile and say "nice...a real hummer." I think it helps that it's usually covered in mud and obviously used for...dare I say...what it was designed for. Ron

I wish they still made the old style 2 door cherokee. What a great platform to build on. as far as the h3, I've been with one on John Bull trail (there's a few pictures on a thread under completed adventures -- "anyone in socal up for a drive?" It had 35's and still needed a bit of...

It's a shame that GM got involved in the hummer thing at all. My 97's msrp was under $57k (when they first came out they were in the low $40's!!), once GM got involved they jacked up the prices and blinged the trucks to the current level of rediculous. Then the H2 came out in the ballpark of...

I think Clark is (or has by now) completely rebuilt his truck with a new engine (might be a cummings?). I almost bought a spare t-case from him, but I need new tires first. Met him in Galmis last year...his truck is really nice (they only made 39 slantbacks for civilian sales). Ron B

Hi Henry -- I checked out your site and it's the same one I happened accross a few years back. I love the idea of removing the seats and sleeping accross the rear tunnel. Lots of other really cool mods on the hummer. Nice trucks. I've never been able to meet Lynn and Terry in person, but...
