How many garage they're H2.

[RMST]

It's going to be tight squeeze in my garage.

One of my wifes argument against the H2 is that it won't fit. I argue that it doesn't matter.

How many of you actually park the truck in your garage?

In So Cal. we don't have basements .....(Well most of us don't) So guess weir all the crap go's .... in the garage. I don't know if my H2 will fit, (top to bottom), but mine is so full of crap that I haven't even attempted to put it in.

I park mine underground. Used to park it on the street till it got smacked. Had to move.

When I built the addition on the house, I also put on a 26'X28' garage.
12' ceiling height and a 18'X8' door .

I also put radiant tubes under floor so the cars can keep their feet warm http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif.
Pull in w/ ice and snow and a couple hours the car and floor is dry.
Works great except some warm days in the spring and fall when it 90 degrees plus in there because it is on the zone for the basement and the thermostat is there too.

[prplprowlr]

I park mine in the garage every night, when I built my garage I built it large enough for a truck I had a few years ago that had 38"tires a 6"suspension lift and 3"body lift so my H2 looks great in there, however it makes my wifes Denali look small http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I park in the garage. If you have any questions about dimensions, let me know. Mine was a tight squeeze so I know all the data.

[argonaut]

I used to live downtown in a highrise and my H2 had about a quarter inch of clearance in the underground garage. Now my house comes with a nice huge carport, so it is easy to get my H2 under cover. I also live in the forest so if it wasn't covered it would be covered in sap.

I can relate to this! Every few months my side of the garage gets full of supplies for whatever project I'm working on. In fact, I spent the better part of this past Saturday moving tools, 130 2x4s, and 60 sheets of sheetrock down to the basement. Sucked....

Lets see that data Zazing. I think the SUT will fit, but the top corners of the opening have 45 degree angles. So I'm probably OK on height and width, but am wondering about those angles.

Similar to this pic I found searching the web:

I garage mine. Why is it that we can keep a 50K+ vehicle outside and "stuff" in the garage?

[NSXTC]

Hey Dan,

Those angles won't fit. When I bought my house, I specifically had them square off the corners. As for the sides, if the mirrors didn't fold, there's no way it would fit.

As it is now, I have about 2" on top and 5" on both sides in clearance (with mirrors folded).

When I head in, I fold the mirrors and once pass the door, I open them again to see the rear clearance when I back out.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
David

Mine is always garaged,it is only a couple of inches wider at the mirrors than the z71 extended cab truck i had before it and not as long so it fits nicely. As for height it fits in a standard 7 foot tall door.

[GOT DIRT?]

Mine is in the garage too i have the 45 degree angles and it fits but barely

[Adam in CO]

I get mine in the garage with a GOBI Stealth Rack on it. I squeeze it in there with my Saab, and the garage is FULL! My CB antenna rubs, but it's flexible. I have to fold in the mirrors, of course. I did have a couple of garage door issues (ripped the door down twice, see photo) that were resolved by raising the door above the header.

I had adjust the up limit stop on the door to raise it above the header. Also, back in, it is much easier to do it that way cause you can see exactlyt what's fitting and what's not. If you pull in forward you are just guessing where the fenders are. Also, had to fold the mirrors. have about 1" on each side of the mirrors folded.

Before I bought, I asked hummer.com for the width with the mirrors folded-what they gave me was just the body width...thought i'd have 3" in either side, only got 1". bummer, but still fits.

[OLE YLLR]

It's a tight squeeze but I have both the H2 and the F150 4X4 in the garage along with a pen for our 2 dogs and all the other toys. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[KenP]

My rig has not spent one night outside except for the 6 weeks she was Indiana. She is often covered. Kind of funny, I have no problem getting her muddy, but darn when she is clean I want her to stay that way as long as possible. Black H2s are a pain to wash and keep clean.
Also, I agree 100% about backing into the garage. Some folks need to know if the door is up or down http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif. Actually, it is easier and you can see if a child has left a toy or bike outside the garage.

Never mind the spec dimensions of 77.8" high w/o cross bars and 82" high with. Not accurate. Mine measured exactly 79 1/8" at it's highest point w/o the cross bars which got me in trouble in some parts of my garage (big complex with sprinkler pipes and signs). The highest point of the H2 is in the center in the rear and is about 1/4" above the corner perimeter lights. I don't have the air suspension in case you're wondering . With the cross bars I think it's sligtly over 82" on the rear crossbar. As far as width it's about 82" which you can make in most garages. With respect to driving I was never conscious of the high of anything until now.

[Zing]

This is how I know the exact height of 79 1/8". I took a straight and placed a level on top. Made sure the ground was level. I wonder why GM is not more precise on things like this.

[Dan]

Thanks guys. I'll have to take some measurements tonite, including those 45s, and see where I'm at.

Also, the back of the roof on an SUT is just behind the back door. Wonder how much lower it is there than the back edge of the SUV?

I have read in previous posts that the H2's can actually vary a little bit in heighth. That may explain that 79 measurement.

[89vette]

Mine is always garaged. It barely fits in (height) with the roof bars. I have about a 1/2 inch to spare.

[Dan]

Ok, I finally got my butt out there and measured my garage door opening.

It looks like this:

.......________________86"_______________
....../
..../
../
|
|
| 84½" High
|
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------106½"--------------------

So at the H2 height of 80", I have an even 8' (96") of width. And if the roof racks make it about 83", I still have 89" wide. I'm all set!

Thanks for the measurements guys.

Mine fit in a standard 8" x 7" gargage door until I put the Gobi rack on.. So I just rebuilt my barn due to a fire.. Had 2 8x9 on front and a 10 x 9 door on the rear.. fits fine thru both.. Glad I built barn.. now I can add more lights.

I don't even own an H2 yet. I have a deposit down for the SUT. I just had a new garage built for my soon-to-be-ordered SUT. I had it built especially tall (10'), wide (16') and deep (23'). I had a drain put in so that I can wash my SUT inside in the winter. I also included a small loft above so my SUT won't be lonely at night. Right now I'm using the garage as a shrine where I pray for more information on the SUT.
