i need some persuasion!

Sorry to keep posting one after another. But I'm going to have to use this thread for all my questions about th2 H2.

How serious(good) are the skid plates underneath? Should they be upgaded?

Are there any pre-fab front mounted hitch receivers for the H2? It would be a nice way to be able to put a winch on or off really quick.

I cranked up the t bars a little, i get minor rub on the plastic on a hard turn. Could probably fix this if i simply swap them for green keys. Ill get some pics up for ya.

H2 or H1 is the only way I would go after spending a few days in the Army myself (Scouts Out its a CAV thing) I had to get a Hummer too.

The Hummer is a sicknest my friend changes who you are onces you get one you won't want anything else.

Can someone please explain to me the significance of the locking center differential and how if functions? I understand the 4L. What is the difference between the 4H locked and the 4H? What makes it locked as apposed to 4H? Is 4H really 2H?

Rred,
4H and 2H are not the same thing. 4H is still full time but, has limited slip function whereas 4H locked then pulls licked 4L.

Anyone jump in here this is where I'm weak. I'm use to unlock and allot of HP running fast so my focus is not directed in this area as much.

Rick,

Someone may correct me but the only time any of the axles get locked is when you click on the lock button (which if I remember correctly is only when it's in low....I may be wrong)

But anyways, I don't believe at any point does the front axle become locked.

Someone else chime in.

Rred, first of all God bless you. If it wasn?t for brave people like you we would be living in a very different world today.
In 4H the vehicle basically works as an open diff system with only the traction control to help it regain traction. With the locked central diff the power is split evenly on both front and rear axles and even if one or both wheels on one axle spin the other axle will still have power to move the vehicle. If you also lock the rear diff it will do the same with the rear axle. Even if both front wheels and one of the rear ones spin the other one will have power to move the vehicle. The ideal setting would be to also have a front locking diff. I think there are aftermarket ones available.
That?s how I think it works, if I?m wrong please correct me.

I agree. With the truck in 4WD, the front and rear axle is still a limited slip front and rearend. Only with the rear axle locked does the rear axle become a locker.

Like UC said, ideally installing an aftermarket lockable front diff would be great.... having said that, I have yet to get the H2 stuck so I'm not sure how necc. a lockable front diff is needed...lol.
