Any Hummer people here?

Hi, I am new to the Portal, but there seems to be a distinct lack of Hummer people here..feeling a bit lonely!!!!

The H1 and H2 have been imported and converted for as long as they have been around but were seen as big and very expensive so numbers are small.

The H3 was introduced Sept/Oct 2007 and they are planning on bringing in 2,000 a year from their South African plant, so at this stage there is only about 1,000 to 1,500 in Oz so they are still a bit rare.

If you take the off road use as a percentage of total sales it is the same here.

Lots of shiny Toyota's, Nissans, Land Rovers, Jeeps and Hummers. Most Hummers in Oz will never see dirt but the majority of teh other brands won't either. Then there mad buggers like us who are actually using them for what they were designed for.

Agreed 100% on the never seeing a Hummer dirty here in the states. One of the most frequent, and horrific ( in my eyes ) modifications I see done is to put huge chrome rims with low profile street tires on a perfectly good H2 and turn it into a hideous street queen. Yuck.

BUT, there is some hope, not all Hummer owners are afraid of dirt. Check this guy's site out, he is not afraid to take his H2 places we all like to play in. Shoot, he should probably be a member here after you look at his rig, what he has done to it and where it has been: www.yellowH2.com

There's some pretty big HUMMER clubs here in California and they do take SOME of them off road, but they're pretty well mostly MALLERs--

--With the threat of GM closing down or sellingf the HUMMER line, I'm still hoping for the HYUMMER HX to materialize, then I'll join the HUMMER group !!

Our son-in-law is Robby Gordon's co-dog in the Monster 'Hummer'; does that count?

Lonely, owner here also.

As of never seeing one offhighway, you got to be at the right place at the right time. Just like any other 4by4, there are pavement pounders, OR the desertpinstriped, rockrashed kind. For being generic: there are many more others (Jeeps, Toyotas, etc) seen daily than the Hummer.

The only differance is when you go offroading, you still don't see Hummers (rarely, I did see one in Moab one time) but you do see Jeeps and Toys out on the trail frequently.

Hello,

There are a couple of Hummer and H2 amd H3 owners on this board. I have one (H1), use it as much as I can. Most of the people I know who have Hummers use them for what they were intended for. Funny, people always pick on the Hummer but when you think of the amount of Jeeps and Toyota's etc. sold per year versus the Hummer, well, not sure what the numbers are but I know their aren't too many more than 12,000 H1's ever made.



Glad to see you on the board - any Outback travel pics we can drool over?
