Hi There
Does anyone know who does 4WS conversions to the H2 and/or H3 Hummers? Any info would be appreciated.

naaaw not a waste of a hummer... great idea I would love to add this to my H1 once I get the cash... anyone on a tight trail or in some thick mud would know why it would be very useful!!! especially on a tight trail that is very slippery with some nice rutts and going in reverse hard to control the rear end I almost ended up with body damage in a situation like that thank got there was another rig behind me that i attached too and he could apply constant presure on my one side to keep me from going into a tree..

ic an see the upside.
4WS was awesome in my old 300zx
but in the 300 it didn't turn opposite directions above 30mph or so, they turned the same direction to let the vehicle slide over without "yawing" or whatever the term may be. do the aftermarket systems do that, or would care be required at highway speeds?

well the kit they are working on now I guess is not all time 4WS it is ment really for offroading and can be flicked on and off with a switch... but yea 4WS wouldnt be too smart on the highway heh... as for getting to know how to use them proper I agree somewhat it might be useless unless you get to know how to use it but that only really goes for 2 seperate steering controls if they both are controlled by the steering wheel and go at the same time wont be hard to learn at all but at the same time wont be as effective as 2 control setup but still more effective then a 2WS setup...

Injunfarian,
Actually, doing the 4-wheel steering on an H1 is a much simpler project than it is for the H2 or H3; picture a a hydraulic ram centered between the rear wheels, and then put tie rods on each end to replace the radius arms that connect the rear geared hubs to the frame and you are almost done. A couple of H1 guys have already done a similar mod on their own trucks. Add a hydraulic pump and controls, and a way to "pin" the mechanism at center for highway driving, and you are done.
This is on my short list of projects to do on my own truck in the near future... I do not think there is a big enough market to do a kit for sale, though.
