Has anyone seen or had installed a snow plow onto their H2. After this weekend in NY (22 inches of snow on my driveway), this seems like a good idea (I know, I know...I could just drive over it...but my wife has a VW Passat). Any tips about the installation? Can the winch receiver acomodate it?

Roy, I have a Western plow mounted on my H2. I had to design and build the mount myself because Western is to slow to respond. I plowed 6 inches in our area this weekend and the H2 performed flawlessly. We did not get buried like you , but have freezing rain for 5 hours prior to the snow. Your receiver hitch will hold a small alumn. consumer plow but not the hydralic commercial versions. These need to be frame mount to distribute the forces from the plow a-frame. The standard mount for the GM product will not work because they removed the front 6 inches from the H2's frame. It you want, I will post some pictures of the H2 with the plow attached. Jay

I would be very interested in your plow mount design (and pictures). Necessity is indeed the mother of invention.
Sorry about the typo above (accomodate)

I use the Western Ultramount with 8' blade. We used A Tahoe rack. had to slit the front valance as the ultramount mounts completely different from the unimount. the H-2 has no problem with the lift weight. I had called western asking about a plow and they said at this time they did not have one,But had no problem with the capability of my hummer to carry one.

I actually had quite a few comments last week. That was the first time I plowed this year, even though I built the mount last October. Truck works great to plow with and as an added benefit my backup camera works great when plowing. Jay

That is just TOO cool. 
You must really get some looks, I bet not too many people have seen a Hummer with a plow on it.
Actually, when you think about it, a Hummer would make a great plow vehicle. 3/4 ton frame and drivetrain, good engine power, 4wd, the rear locker and the traction control, big tires for good traction, and alot of weight.

I am interested in a H2 that will support a snow plow. I currently have a Meyer Plow and wonder if anyone knows how I might get it to work, or better yet, someopne who would set it up

I am leaving to run out of town and will post some photos in the morning. I think it is safe to say the snow will still be there tomorrow! Jay
