    • right the older humvees were only around 5200 lbs in base configuration. H2 are about 6600-6800 depending on options and aftermarket stuff. H1's were around 7000-7200. And H2 would move the boulder easier, more power more weight.

The weak link in the desert is the air filter. Gotta keep that clean. On the standard H1 those vinyl doors never stay shut though. almost everyone has boot bands keeping them closed. Never figured how we could make a bomb that can go through a gnats ass at miles away but can't make a door that stays shut.

  • The fastest way to revive an H1/Humvee in 2020 is do a drivetrain swap with a new 6.6 duramax and a 6/10 speed. Turns it from an old, inefficient millitary vehicle into a viable tow vehicle/offroader. This 6.2 diesel is rated for 165hp and 330lb-ft of torque, and this is the high output version. The standard was 130hp and 240lb-ft. Amazing how GM's 1.6 turbodiesel puts out more hp and torque than this monster now. The H2 is half suburban 1500 half suburban 2500. It was a really interesting hackjob from GM and personally I think there needed to be a HD tahoe on this frame as well (plus that 8.1 in a tahoe woulda been amazing)

  • Way back in my Army days. I learned to drive the humvee more like a mini-tank and less like a “crawler of rocks”. I feel the humvee could have gone 15-30 mph faster on the same terrain the h2 would have to navigate slower. This video did not capture the coolness of having a real humvee vs an h2. It was more like the humvee hosted a dance party but out of respect for its guest wouldn’t dare bust a move and show-up. Great video, severely underplayed the capability of the humvee

  • One thing I don't get on the H2 since they used the H1/M998 as a starting point, was why they had the hood latches stay on the hood. It looks like they did it right on the old M998, they stay on the body, probably that way on all of them. When you go to close the hood on the H2, the straps always get in the way because they dangle from the hood. I'm going to see at some point if there's an easy way to reverse the straps on my H2, so they stay on the body not the hood.

  • H2 body panels are an extra 2mm thick vs any other civilian vehicle on the road. H2 has a heavily Modified heavy duty 2500/3500 Truck Frame . Tahoe/Suburban axles are 5 lug nuts, H2 has 8. H2 came with 35in tires standard. Google this info for more differences ( such as a unique Borg Warner transfer case specifically designed for the H2 in 2003 , which Ford put in the Raptor in 2017) etc.

  • My personal gripe with the H1 is that I'm 6'7" and it's just not comfortable. It definitely ticks all the boxes for me for doing work around the farm and dealing with mud, snow and off road but I just can't fold myself up enough to live with it every day. If the seat moved another 8 to 12 inches back maybe. Shame since I definitely have a use for one.

  • H1s and Humvees break a lot of stuff offroad! I have been a Trail Guide for multiple runs with my H2 on 38s leading H1s on 42s, I did everything they did without breaking! Yes my H2 has upgraded Kyrptonite Steering and a Front Locker but I was up and over stuff and waiting at the top while the H1s snapped halfshafts, ball joints and even exploded transfer cases. The Point is that every truck has it's weak points, sadly the H1s have a bunch of them and the parts are ridiculously expensive! As well, the driver has a major part to play in whether an Offroad rig lives or dies!

    • A lot of H1 owners buy their trucks thinking that they're indestructible - then do stupid stuff like upgrade their tire size without upgrading their half shafts, stub shafts and gearing. It's no different than if you took any other vehicle and jacked iit up to put giant tires on it - expecting that it will be just as reliable as it was from the factory. There's on particular H1 shop (*cough*Predat*COUGHCOUGHCOUGH*) that particularly preys on the un-educated H1 owner.

    • Well, he was referring to the axels but there's no front axel really on the H2 since it's independent. The H2 of course does have a rear axel and I think it's light duty to go with the half ton rear frame section they used for some dumb reason. Couldn't make it 100% 3/4 ton.

So being ifs doesn't excempt it from having a front axle. Furthermore, those axles are pretty much the heaviest axles GM has ever made, so while the springs in the rear are light duty, the axle itself most certainly is not.

    • ​@@okigojuryu Ok, 9.5" rear? Didn't look that big when I was under mine. The Tahoe is 8.6". It's just the frame and suspension that's light duty in the back for some reason. I thought it might be the axel too. The front and midsection are 3/4 ton all the way thru. They could have easily made the rear section 3/4 frame. My F150 had a 9.75" and that was 1/2 ton. F250's are 10.5". Might be why I didn't that it was that big. Seems about 1/2 ton size when I was under there but It's GM, different brand. He goes on and on about the air suspension too but I"ll just go ahead and say it here first: they suck. I got rid of mine and replaced with big springs and they are always up. Got tired of coming out to see it on its ass every day. Air sus is great when they work right but they all leak at some point. If they go out on a trail like that, would not be fun getting it home. Yeah you loose the self-leveling and extra 2 inches of clearance but just put 37"s on and add 1" lift.

  • Being in the Military I've thrashed around my fair share of HUMVEE and I will say that Soldiers just beat the crap out of them and they just continue to keep on truckin. If I had the land I would totally get a surplus one and try to convert it to be registered I know there is a Place in Utah that sells and registers them, but I think it's for off road only? They aren't the most comfortable trucks and are SLOW as molasses on a cold winters day but they will get you though pretty much anything if you know how to drive one and use the gearing. I did about a 3.5' water crossing in one and just plowed through.

  • Just a point of history here. The HUMVEE replaced the M151A2 Jeep. It also replaced the 3/4 ton trucks M37 3/4 ton (WWII Korea) and the M561 Gama Goat Vietnam era trucks (had to swim). The original requirement was for high mobility that is why this version of the truck is very light weight and had be moved by the CH47 Helicopter internally and sling loaded. Early years of HUMVEE production was for the filling the light duty truck fleet shortages during the cold war and later years after the 1st Gulf War. Recommend a TFL truck video would be repeat this trail with today's Jeep (standard transmission) vs the M151A2. However, a TFL Truck mud trail video with the M561Grama Goat vs the say a F150 would be great theater as well.
