Would this have caused any serious damage? (Video)

I was really surprized when I saw this video. That looked like a typical off road sitation. Does anyone know maybe what went wrong or what broke (assuming something did in fact break)? Also, is the under portion of the H2 able to withstand a fall that big?

I dont know. Maybe the driver should have known not to drive over that. And they clearly were giving it too much gas... but still. That looks like a situation the H2 should be able to handle just fine. Im really dssapointed.

(Sorry if this video has been posted before)

The tie rods om h2's go a good bit, this is ussually due to driver error...the truck can deffinantly handle those rocks, he just approached it wrong.

GREAT FIND! This must be a new video! Man, I can't believe that guy took a truck that expensive off road... esp. when his off road abilities were not there. I wonder if this video will make it's rounds all over the world claiming the reputations of ALL H2 vehicles and their drivers.

I guess he should have been driving an H1.

[Fredrick_NP]

H1... I wish they would make a hummer that had the H1's capabilities, and H2's style. I mean the H1 is freaking awesome... its just so... ugly IMHO.

Yeah, i hope that some day they can make an H2 that will go where the H1's do. The H2's are just so unreliable VS the H1's. Esp. when comparing them on the Golden Spike trail in Moab.

[Fredrick_NP]

Golden Spike trail? Im new to all this hummer stuff... so could you explain what thats like? Or maybe even post pics / vids?! :0

And whats unreliable about the H2?.... other then it's tie-rod of course ;D

[Fredrick_NP]

Hmm... thats a pretty good site. I think I have been there before.....maybe.

But no seriously. I just wnted a picture of that specific trail. I dont see any "trail pictures" in the side directory.

[VTSTOMPER]

fredrick,

check out the moab vids....on this site. also go and "find" other threads about tie rods. you will see what we mean. you're smelling very troll.

[edit] i read your other posts....troll city.

[Fredrick_NP]

Im not freaking trolling. I made this same topic on another site yesterday moo.

Im just curious god. I thought it was unusual how such a big bad SUV that can "go anywhere" was so easily damaged by a rock.

[VTSTOMPER]

you must really like cows?

[Fredrick_NP]

....You know what I was trying to do lol. And Yes. Not only do I like cows. But I want to be one.

[h2co-pilot]

LOL- what an idiot.


SImple terms- the passenger side tire slipped on it's inner sidewall- and the angle at which it ended up was too harsh and awkward for the tie-rod which was supporting the weight of the front end. A couple of inches over and the slip wouldn't of happened, the front passenger tire is invisible to the driver. The driver is actually one of the best and I have seen him wheel. This was just a weird happenstance. Part of wheeling.


Fredrick, you just reminded me to go on a college forum to ask about this video I saw on Badboys/Break.com.

God told me you are going to hell for using his name in vain and touching yourself.

[Fredrick_NP]

Umm... im going to hell for a lot more reasons then the ones you mentioned thank you.

Oh and im curious... does anyone know how much it costs to replace the H2 tie-rod?
