Hummer H2For those who like a little more gleam to their Hummer, the H2 offers a similar rugged look as the H1, but as a lower cost, and with more added features, making it almost a massive luxury SUV.

Front OEM e-coated metal bumper with clear wrap to protect from stone chips
Entire new OEM air ride assembly.

This vehicle will be as-new once completed.
Work and $$ continues, but still cheaper than just the tax on a new Bronco or V8 Defender replacement.
I figured I might as well let everyone left on this forum know what I am doing.
Not many of us left
I had to make a decision to throw $$ at this beast, or move on to anther vehicle.
I looked at the alternatives, but none were as cool as an H2. All too boring.
Hopefully it may inspire others to restore their H2.
The few I see around here are really beat up now and not getting any love.
PS. Wheels corrode here every 3 years in the rainy Pacific NW, and the ones on the rig are the 3rd set.
They are now discontinued as well, so these will be shipped to California to get "winterchrome" once the border opens up.
That should end the endless swapping out of wheels to keep them without chrome peel.
Anything aluminum that is chromed here does not last long in the moist air.
This gives me hope! I've wanted one since they first came out, and just picked up a 2008 H2. It's in pretty decent shape, but it lived on a dirt road and has never been garaged. Needs some TLC and I intend on doing just that - I just hope I can get mine restored to look as good as yours!
