My new Beast!!!
We pulled the trigger yesterday. It was a little sooner than we were planning, but we just couldn't pass it up. It is a 2005 Stealth Gray with ebony interior, and it has 21,000 miles on it. The inside is like brand new. It has the third row seat, roof rack, DVD player, auto dimming mirrors in and out, front and rear heated seats, aftermarket chrome wheels, chrome rear tail light guards, chrome mirror covers, chrome hood handles, chrome gas lid, outside spare tire rack, chrome nerf steps, and probably more stuff I don't know of yet.
It has a lot more chrome than I like right now. I will probably change the hood handles for black ones, and eventually lose the steps. (Wife may fight me on that one! She likes it for the climb up.) I would like to either color match or go black with the grill, and black on the tail light covers and gas lid.

Re: My new Beast!!!
Very nice, I had an 05 stealth grey too. I love mu SUT but I do miss the storage capacity of the SUV. Great color. I think the color matched grill will look real nice. Nice find with only 21k on her.

Re: My new Beast!!!
FYI, there is a TSB on your mirrors. ( motor has a high failure rate, the fix was to install 06 style mirrors.) I also had the ignition switch go. Which is also common for 05 and prior.

Re: My new Beast!!!
Thats official! You removed that chrome grill and replace the side chrome vents with black ones. Your idea to color match the front grill, and replace the hood handles with black are on point. Maybe you can get the chrome step stripped of the chrome and powder coated black in order to keep peace with the wifey

Re: My new Beast!!!
That looks like a nice clean truck.... congrats and welcome to the world of Hummer ownership.... we like our first one (2006) so much we just replaced it with a 2008 a couple of weeks ago.

Re: My new Beast!!!
Thanks for the comments. The more I look at it the more I love the color. We did a little driving around today, and this thing drives so smooth and feels incredibly stable and solid. I LOVE IT!
My wife is actually in love with this thing, which, for her, is amazing. A vehicle is a vehicle for her usually. She drove it tonight, and said she thinks she will like driving it. She has never liked driving big vehicles. She always hated driving our old suburban, and was much happier driving the Envoy.
I'm sure I'll be coming up with lots of questions as I get to know it better. I am itching to find some trails, now, too!

Re: My new Beast!!!
One of the biggest suprises to owners is the fact that H2s are smooth highway cruisers and don't ride like a truck at all. Nice rig!
