the H1 was still made by AM General, not General Motors. only the H2 and H3 were made by GM.

I've pulled out so many h2s out of the mud... I don't have a h2 recovery decal on my jeep cause I know there. Are some trail broken sick h2 hummers that could go places I couldn't. If your gunna get a sticker get one that's true for everything or that's funny like the toy taco I saw with the upside down sticker that says "if you can read this your jeep is upside down" lol or my sticker that says " I survived cash for clunkers

The H3 isn't even a TrailBlazer - it's underpinnings (and 3.7L I-5) are shared with none other than the Colorado/Canyon trucks. I've driven one, and they are full time 4wd - no 2wd option, and they are okay. The one I drove is nowhere as capaple as my XJ, but I suppose if you want an overpriced Chevy Coloarado/GMC Canyon - that is your SUV.

we had an H1 on "greens" during our campNL offroad event one year, came out bashed and missing parts of body panels.
then a year later, GM sponsored an H3 to go on "the rock" trail, it actually did ok, but had snapped a tie rod in half, requiring an on trail weld repair to get it off the trail.

but all in all, the H3 did ok on a trail that was rated about a 4 out of 5 for difficulty.

and yes, that's the test hummer pulling my buddy Ed out of a hole! (but that was after the H3 was pulled out of it. Ed just happened to be behind it.

This is funny, since there are countless XJ's with a budget boost and 30's(or less) with the "Hummer Recovery" stickers...

Most people who drive hummers couldn't drive an XJ off road either.

I would just leave the hummers stuck no need to get their hopes up right?

Civilian Hummers are junk and over priced. The military Hummers are good. In Arizona, Hummers can't go to half the places I can go in my XJ.

no doubt. i had an 85 or 86 isuzu trooper2 with a 2.3l 4 cylinder and 5 speed. it was great. spartan interior left no useless junk and i was able to fit 33s under it stock. that was such a good truck. i drove it back and forth from corpus christi to san antonio's north side when i was going to college so i put about 300 miles a weekend on it for alot of months when i had to make that drive regularly to see the family. i probably put 70k on it in one year and it already had 200k on it when i bought it. those trooper2s really hold their resale value too.
