i'm not sure if there's a forum or not, i've enver noticed one.
the comments at FUH2 do get reaalllly repetitive, and lose their humor value over time. like everybody is just playing copycat.
related to this thread, i drove through waaay northern minnesota/canada to go withs ome folks offroading, and the hummer didn't draw much attention for positive or negative, nothing like at home. now, we were mostly on the highway and things, but the gawking staring seemed to be alot less, which was a cool change of pace.
somebody should pile some blinged up h2s together and road trip across the country & make a map of the reaction. like a green/red contour map of hummer mania. lol

I've been driving my 2004 black H2 for about 3 months and 20000 km's in Norway and Sweden. Not once have I got any negative feedback or reactions - thankfully rather the opposite.
It's funny, but it's mostly older people who stop and look and ask questions, especially on the Swedish coutryside there's obviously many people who newer have seen one !
Yonger ones gives often thumbs up, and it feels pretty cool standing besides a 911, 430 og Bentley GT in Stockholm and I get all the attention !!
And yet they don't know that I'm driving "green" - much less emissions thank's to the propane system.

i bet a jeep guy joined just to say it was mostly negative.
i'm kidding, jeepers.
i got all muddy over the 4th weekend and just decided to leave it that way. I've gotten almost completely positive remarks and lots ofp eople hanging thumbs-ups out windows since driving around in a formerly white, now swamp-smelling (it'll clean up) and mostly mud hummer.
people dig muddy hummers! but they smell funny for a day or two until the goop all dries up. this isn't cali-mud that's just water and dirt, its good old fashioned lake mud, that is probably 50% living algae or something.

yeah, i don't mean to discourage offroading,a nd i know the leather in the H2 (at least the ebony) smells pretty much better than the leather in basically any other car/truck outside of (if you prefer the sort of overdone leather smell) a Caddy.
but my truck does still have a bit of lingering swamp. its not in the truck - the seals held perfectly - its in the AC system. i have to flush that out somehow. maybe a bottle of rubbing alcohol. that'll learn those fungi!

Try a can of sented Lysol..Spray into the floor intake while on recirculate, then through the hood vents while on outside air..This may knock down some of the flora and fauna fragrance in your ducts.
well i gave that a shot, sprayed some lysol into some rubbing alcohol and mixed it with a bit of water to dilute it and did the deed.
my truck smelled like a dentists office, but i pcaked the gang in and drove around with the fans on high for a while & it seems to have cleared out.
The smell still isn't as sweet as it was a couple weeks ago, but i think the lingering odor is smoke - i drove a couple packs of people home from fireworks/bonfire, and i think the rich wood/gunpowder smoke smells are lingering a bit.
But anyway, you're a genius, dennis, i should have thought of that. The swamp smell seems to be completely gone.
Also, i hosed it down and took it to the local high-end car wash and then Liquid Iced it, and besides some front skid plate damage and paint scratched off the front bumper & some places on the frame where rocks dug in...
it looks like brand-new, rims and all.
