JeepcoMJ Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 if I wanted a hummer, I'd ask your wife. j/k seriously though, you're preaching to the choir. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Anybody aware the only true Hummer (Alpha) was designed by AM General, which was spun off AMC because the US would not let a foreign company (Renault) own an company designing US Army equipment. This was when AMC owned Jeep, and is why the Hummers have patented Jeep grills. Every Hummer GM sells they have to pay a licensing fee to Jeep/Chrysler for the grill. The way I see it, the Hummer Alpha is the next evolution of the original Jeep. The H2 and H3 are not Hummers the same way the Patriot, Compass and Commander are not Jeeps.

I know their big, heavy, and not as articulated as jeeps, but I still like them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james750 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Although I prefer most Jeeps to most Hummers. I would own an H2 or H3 with lockers f/r any day over a compass, patriot, libby, commander, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 :agree: I like Humvee's... I know their big, heavy, and not as articulated as jeeps, but I still like them.. That's because you don't have to work on them everyday! I can't stand them! The older trucks weren't bad. Now with all the armor and 4L80E transmissions they are junk. There are over 100 things that will lock that transmission in 2nd gear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because you don't have to work on them everyday! lol... not any more.. But I have and even though I cussed and bled on, under, over and in them, I still love those big dusty beasts.. I can do an injector pump in about an hour, but still took me about 45 mins cussing a d@mn exhaust clamp, and I can't stand changing out a generator. They always killed my back, big arse mofo round chunks of steel.. Oh and the freakin drain plugs on the fuel tanks..... ughhhhh :rant: Humvee's were the closest things to home while deployed... Never knew about the Jeep grills and AMG having to pay royalties for them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are over 100 things that will lock that transmission in 2nd gear! Limp mode can be caused by any number of problems on any newer vehicle. I will take a 360hp Duramax bolted to a 4L85E or Allision 1000 over any other drive train out there. And yes, that combination is available on the Hummer Alpha.

aemsee Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I do like the original humvee. And I could probably own a H2, but those H3's are for secretaries and soccer moms with control issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james750 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I think that the H2s are not meant for offroad use. The H3 on the other hand I have seen offroad and stock can stomp most stock jeeps out there, except for the rubis of course, that is one Badass jeep stocker. I think it is all a matter of if the owner is purchasing the car as a status symbol or as a off road rig. Unfortunately most ppl buying hummers today are buying them to make the car look like a flaming douchebag is behind the wheel than to make it into a capable rig. Jeep owners for the most part don't have that problem. :clapping: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
