Are the H1s the real deal though? Air pumps that can keep punctured tires up and all that jazz? Gunner roof access? Armour plating?

I dunno!

glatt · 06-24-2004, 02:10 PM

I don't think so.

I like the H2 (though not the SUT).

Sue me.

That's OK, unless you also like the Honda Element, Chevy Avalanche (slash-Cadillac-Escalade), Subaru Baja (the El Camino is BACK, baby!), or Pontiac Aztek... in which case you're too far gone to be saved, I'm afraid.

A classic.

I like the Avalanche, but don't care for the rest. The Aztek would kick ass if they redid that ugly-ass back end.

Jag , i saw a deal on e-bay motors a while bace where you could buy ex millatary hummers for under $10k , thou they didn't have seats , tires , or tops . oh and they were in califorina . If i could have raised some cash i found a guy who's dad ownes a trucking company , buy 3-4 of these fix up and sell 2 of them and it would have paid for the other 2 .
I know a guy that got a ex millatary hummer , fixed it up and sold it , the hardest part was getting it painted , the body is aluminum so you can't sand blast it ( it would make holes in the body pannels ) , oh and the tires were WAY expencive !!!!!

10k? Fucking peanuts for a decent vehicle. What do you mean by 'tops', as in the entire roof is missing? That'd be a bitch but still, including restoration that'd still be very interesting to me. Shipping is painful but not that awful.

yeppers the entire top was missing , look at e-bay motors , there is generly a few decent hummers there

jaguar · 07-09-2004, 04:36 AM

Found a few bits, lots of tires, couple of civvy ones but no ex military parts larder than a hood. Found two that had the full tire inflation system and all, both on the shortlist for now. I'll keep looking around, it's got my interest, I've been looking at landies of a similar vintage, it's for a little project in the middle of fucking nowhere in aus so I need something reliable.
