Its funny how people don't know the whole hummer story, just part of it. Reactions to the H2 range from "its just a pickup" to "so this is what the military uses now?". Even after you explain that this isn't a military truck, somepeople along for a ride still comment like "boy this is alot nicer than the old jeeps for soldiers to ride in" or whatever.

Speaking of soldiers i found an M151 and i'm thinking about buying it. tipsy little jeep-looking things that had 4-wheel independent suspension. Give it to my father as a christmas present (he drove one in the service for a few years).

 

I've always had people stop me on the trail and tell me i'm nuts for doing that to my truck. But when i'm back in town driving it when it's still muddy people always tell me that it's great that I really use it. It's just a little strange that it's the offroaders that tell me i'm nuts.

 

yup when I took my rig to Gopher Dunes mudfest alot of people thought my ride was rented etc etc had one guy say "How can you afford to do that? I guess pimpin aint easy eh?" and my reply was "Nope it aint easy but its neccessary!"

Heres the vid of my rig at Goper Dunes Mudfest

Good luck finding parts for the M151. The military phased them out in the early '90's (I drove one once in 1993 in Okinawa, Japan as a Lance Corporal in the Marine Corps.) The civilian/non military government crowd never got a version, and they were made by AM General with a lot of custom parts, read not to many swappable parts of other stuff.
I've seen a few on the road, but not many, so parts are available somewhere, but who knows at what cost.
