love what you have done with it! Wheeled with the former ( don't know if he has retired yet ) president of Great Lakes Four Wheel Drive Bob Devour. He rocks a almost completely stock H2. He doesn't even blink going through some seriously aggressive trails.

Its not a Tahoe, Its a trailblazer...... H2 is based off of the Tahoe i believe.

Edit: Colorado, not Trailblazer.

Not a new-model Hummer fan but that is pretty sharp.

Here is the Cherokee I've purchased. It's a little rough around the edges, but I wanted something a little rough so I wouldn't worry about tearing it up. That busted turn signal was replaced, the motor was blown but it has been replaced with a 4.0 with 97000 miles. Carpet will have to be pulled along with the headliner. Radio is an aftermarket P.O.S. I am also taking off those wheels and tires because I do not like wide wheels. I have a set of 17" rubicon wheels waiting to go on(yes I have the wheel adapters).That thing that they call a front bumper,just a reese hitch cut to be a winch mount, has been removed also. What do you guys think?

Sorry about your friend, that must have been a very hard call to respond to.

...And your XJ looks like a nice platform...what are your build plans/how are you planning to use it?

Right now as far as I can tell it has a short arm kit on it. I'd love to make it a long arm. Plan on building my own tire carrier bumper. Not sure what bumper to use for the front yet. I love my gobi rack on my h3 but I can't spend that kind of money on another one but I do want the same style roof rack for the jeep. Going to pull the headliner and the carpet because the liner is falling and the carpet is ruined from a window that was left down before. Going to line-x the ceiling and floor I think so I can ride my dog without fear. I have the rubicon jk wheels (with adapters) just need tires. Anything you guys recommend just let me know

I like all Hummers as long as they aren't on 27 inch rims with rubber band tires. You did a nice job with yours. I put an ARB bumper on my friends Discovery II and I know those are heavy duty!

Yeah man I go to Wilmington quite a bit. I have a friend who is a firefighter up there but not sure where. Last name is Tyson. Went to Carolina several times last year. I camped out all night a few times. I would lay my back seats down and I could throw a blow up mattress in the back and not have to worry about a tent.
