Hummer H2 For 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.

Default stretching H2 to add second rear axle.

Does anybody have any build photos of how the rear frame was modified to add second axle. I am thinking of doing a tandum rear frame then adding the rear part from an H2T to my H2. . Thanks

Thank you very much. I saw that video about a rear ago. I like the design and would like to try one. His used the orginal drivetrain. The added axle is an H2 rear, you can see it when it passed over the camera. But I would like to see how and where the added frame connects to the vehicle frame.

Shown in the video, cut in front of the rear axle, extended frame added from there. You will need the proper tools, equipment, and materials when diy, to make sure all is in align and properly secured.

Have the tools, the time, and money . Will buy a used frame and put it in garage, then start measuring and planning. Hardest part will be finding a good usable backhalf of an H2T in the junkyard.

The 6 wheeler in chevykev post was built by a friend of mine and has in fact just been sold.

I remember the truck before and after it was converted, have to say he did a really nice job on it!

One thing to watch, the addition brake lines extend from the original rear ones, so it's difficult to "balance" the "forces" thus one axle can lock-up without the other.

This was taken at the UK Speedfest event Brands Hatch 2018. It was a really good day, a Donald Trump impersonator was flown-in by a big helicopter and my friends truck was the presidentail vehicle in the motorcade.

Everyone though the real DT was paying a visit, so funny and a real cool day!
