Hummer H2 gets owned... by a rock.
 

H2 - they only look tough

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

For some reason I really enjoyed that!

:1orglaugh

They don't even look tough. They took what used to be a real, tough vehicle and made it just like the 3000GT's and plastic Camaro's on the road. It's a royally expensive piece of shit.

excellent.

Dumbass should have bought an old jeep CJ if he's going to be out doing shit like that.

Or perhaps maybe a real hummer?

No shit. H2 is a pile of shit. They used to be cool, now they are just Suburban's shaped like an ugly lego.

hahaha.. that would suck. I bet they had a good time getting it out of the woods..

That would be another option wouldnt it..

Thats 2wice that happened, they took the old CJ's and turned them in plastic toy wranglers

then they took the hummer's and turned them into these delicate little peices of shit you see in the video..

it's retarded, both didnt become popular because they're comfy and had fun little toys, they became popular cause they would go anywhere and were tough as shit

but both had to be pussified for some reason.

If the driver would have locked the front diff and turned on the H2's awesome traction control, he wouldnt have spun like that and snapped a tie-rod when the other wheel gained traction.

And if you think Jeeps and Hummer H1's and other 4x4 trucks dont break tie-rods, you are badly mistaken.

keep your toy for the beach! A Landcruiser would live thru that. I believe the old Jeep wouldnt either im afraid.

I think they are basically just a Chevy Tahoe with slightly beefier suspension and bigger tires.

There's a local Cadillac dealer that has started selling Hummers and they don't have any H1's in stock, all H2's.

I'd rather go to the auction and buy an older H1 than pay the outrageous prices they ask for these new H2's. The sad thing is the only place you see them around here is in the city, where there is no point in owning a vehicle like that anyway.

Thats because they really, really suck on the hiway. 75mph top speed, cant hear your radio over the engine, and rides like a tractor. Great for in town though if you have wide parking spaces :)

I think they used the suburban chassis. Either or, same thing...

Uhh, that trail is not that bad. And considering thats a "new" vehicle that should not happen at all. My CJ goes through more abuse being parked.

It is a really expensive piece of shit! I hate the new H2! They've made it too much for consumer now - That's why I wouldn't buy one, or drive one - even if it was given to me!

Yea a real hummer would done that trail no problem!

Lego rocks!

I think my VW Jetta would have done that :1orglaugh

I think you guys are funny, the hummer is twice as expensive as an H2. Two different vehicles, Two different classes.

Comparing the hummer to an H2 is like saying your Riced up Honda lost the race, he should have been driving a Porche. Laughing My Ass OFF! You guys crack me up. :321GFY

Twice as much? No way you can find a nice Hummer for $90k, a new H2 for $60-70k

do0d i think my fucking '84 pinto could have made it up that hill. jesus christ what garbage.

Did you see what the yellow Hummer in Bad Boys 2 went through? Geez!

Dumb asses, H2 is nothing like the OG Hummer.

Here is a REAL HUMMER. Owned by my boss. And yes he off roads. Takes it hunting and fishing and pulls his horse trailer.

damn

how easy was it to throw that rod? god damn, that's not good for a supposed off road vehicle

They don't break them on little gay trails like that.

LOL, We had an old ford truck that wouldn't have to slow down to make that trip. What an expensive turd.

My boss told me on one fishing trip he took his dad on. Most pencil necks that own H1s put those cool Aluminum wheels on cuz they look cool. He eventually had to "replace" his black steel ones cuz of his offroading and fishing trips. One of them made that video look like a pavement. It was at the base of a mountain that opened up into a huge lake with an eventual sand basin/shorline. Anyway the rock area was 1/2 mile wide and 3/4s of a mile long.......in order to get to the sand basin of the mouth where to fish......he had some nice pics.

H2s are tonka toys made by GM so they could make money. Period.

I'll be glad when the H3 comes out so you guys will REALLY have something to moan about all day.

Wouldnt want you guys to get bored... you seem to be happiest while complaining

Oh Oh hey how bout this... California's new govenor has a H2.
there ya go, start the bitching :)

I feel sorry for whoever had to tow him out, or the mechanic who worked on it. Not the most comfortable place to change a tie rod.

A nice Jeep YJ will own an H2 any day.

I like apples. My apple will own your orange any day.

Yeah, I know what you're saying.
But he's trying to offroad a vehicle that was "supposed" to be a rugged offroad vehicle, but is just an oversized barbie truck painted black.

You put 80k into a Jeep YJ.... woah.

I've owned one and taken it offroad, its an awesome machine. But I'm an experienced driver and know when to lock a diff, when to shift to low transfer, when to use engine braking, how to use the brakes to lock a spinning wheel and transfer power to the other wheels, and other things you should know before doing what he did.

You guys say weak machine. I say inexperienced driver.

I dont know of any tie rod made that could take that much torque put on it at one time when that wheel suddenly gained traction and stopped spinning.

I had an H1. The H2's ruin hummers good name.

hummers are the new minivan for upper middle class soccer moms and men going through mid life crisis.

I've had both.

The H2 is based on the Chevy Tahoe platform (same used for the Escalade). The vehicle was never intended to be a pound for pound sister to the H1.

The vehicle was pieced together from parts of GM products. The H2 has been used as nothing more than a mrketing tool that will also bolster sales throughout the brand.

....was it successful....obvoiuosly the H3 would not be so soon to follow had it not.

The hype is just that....the vehicle was rated as one of the worst vehicles ever produced by consumer reports.

The off road merit......consider this to be a rerally awful body kit for a tahoe

The H1 has been...still is.....and probably will remain the most amazing off road vehicle produced in the world. The H2 is like the hiardresser brother.

Both plastic toys, altho i agree, even a yj would have made that

Most people will say the Jeep is the most amazing offroad vehicle. I tend to agree with them.

hahahahaha

I cannot speak for the rodeo drive H1's

I have spent many years taking the HMMWV to the limit of its capabilities (at times being pretty stupid).

You sound like you know your shit....I do not discount the fact the Jeep could very well be the best.....I know that 100% of all I served with felt the HMMWV was witout a doubt the most bad ass off roader we had ever driven...I might add that you brought up is that the proper driving fundamentals is the difference between breaking down or making it through.

i love my jeep! it would have eaten that road alive.

fuck H2's

never driven an H1, but would only be interested in driving on OFF the road, anyone got one they want to let me drive?

Hummers are so fucking gay. So so gay.

CHeck out the H3's
