The Hummer H1 is a very DUMB truck that Americans LOVE (and for a good reason) 

I think I am still dehydrated from the drive home! Actually, other than the heat and unbalanced tires, it was surprisingly comfortable. Bring on the Prius speed bumps!

"So it could follow tank tracks in the road and have a more smooth ride." Yes, not setting off land mines and IEDs does make for a smoother ride!

8:08 Unirination Bob living up to his name

I just about lost it when Tyler said, "The Ronald McDonald Army still going strong" 🤣🤣🤣

"Keeping it for the long haul" - see you in 8 months-ish when you've got the for sale sign on it hoovie lol

Some family friends from France came to visit us and my dad had an H2 SUT at the time and I remember them absolutely adoring it.

Tyler's new game of "Clue": Colonel Mustard in the garage with a payment book. ;D

The hysterical laughing you hear when driving away was the seller, delirious in dumping 2 boat anchors in one shot!

The thing about the old Hummers is that they do cool shit when you have a Defense Department maintenance budget.

I had a friend in elementary school whose mom daily drove an H1 Wagon. It was white. It took up the whole lane at the drop off. It was awesome.

Can’t wait to see that the Wizard thinks about it and finds wrong with it. I’ve always loved the wagon H1’s.

"If I have problems it means more videos." This is a brilliant statement. So if he succeeds - cash in the bank; if he fails - cash in the bank. (and cash for the Car Wizard and the rest of his support chain) - So unless its a Class 1 basket case Hoovie wins! My empathy is now gone.

Lived in one of these in Iraq... And in Afghanistan. If I never sit in one again I'll be fine. 🇺🇸👍🏼

I was in the Army, drove several of the military version. They did not leave us stranded as much do to the weekly maintenance requirements that the military has.

8:07 You'd think a guy named "Urination Bob" would have wanted the yellow Hummer

First big snow that thing will make an amazing video can't wait.

The reason the wheels are as wide as a tank's tracks is so the tank would set off any land mines first. HMMWV wheels being the same width wouldn't drive anywhere the tank hadn't. So it wouldn't hit any land mines placed between.

Bob is such a friendly guy. I love it when he pops up in videos.

You and Bob NEED Heinz matching plates for Ketchup and Mustard! 😂

Hoovie: Everything seems fine....... Wizard: I'll be the judge of that!

I love the way you say: 1. It’s broke 2. It’s unreliable 3. It’s ugly 4. It’s destroying the environment 5. People will say bad things about you if you get one And then say “but” That’s exactly why I’m here for every video big man, good work 👍🏻

Geoff knows his stuff, but things the wizard should check (more for the benefit of new owners who don't know anything about these trucks): 1) SPINDLE NUTS!!!! I recommend every new H1 owner replace them with the Bluehummer/MM/Stage 8 Locking Spindle nuts. The stock nuts are fine - IF they're properly installed and, well, they're not easy to install and most shops don't know how to install them. You got your truck from someone who knows his stuff, but I still would put the locking spindle nuts on just to be safe. If your spindle nuts come off while on the highway your tires WILL FLY OFF AND MAYBE HURT/KILL SOMEONE. 2) Check the compression. 3) Your ABS/TT4 code is *probably* a bad shuttle valve in the modulator. Thankfully its the same ABS unit as out of a Land Rover Discovery from the same era so they're plentiful (but expensive). If its the 2-6 blink code when you jump pins 4 and 15 then its a 99% chance its just the shuttle valve internal solder that died. You can re-connect it externally easily and save yourself thousands of dollars while making the modulator more robust. 4) Check for proper vaccum pump. It should be pulling a ridiculous amount of vacuum, something like 22 inches or something. If its not then your blend door actuators wont work and your turbo wastegate controller will die. 5) I fought my leaky A/C for months. Turned out it was the service port manifold every time. But if its the expansion valve behind the front passenger tire then be prepared for a VERY pissed off Wizard because they are a PITA to replace. 6) Get the water pump bypass restrictor fitting that helps the water pump achieve balanced flow and replace the fan clutch while you're in there. I could go on for pages but that'll be a good start.

8:14 that was a real URINATION BOB moment

This is going to be great watching you guys give this truck a new life.

The speedometer being loose is actually a feature - it allows for calibration. Just tighten the set screw with the needle at 0. lol

Tomorrow I'm getting my license finally. I turned 21 few days ago so I know it sucks but my life was so hard for the last 3 years. And now when I reached my goal I feel so much better. And saving up money for a C32 AMG. This channel kept me above water for so long. Thanks Tyler if you ever read that.

I feel like Euroasian bob calling has been screen play and comedy, he’s hilarious and love whenever he appears in hoovies vids

Tyler, I'm a 60 year old father of 4 and just wanted you to know you are my favorite RU-vidr! I am always looking forward to your next video, and I appreciate all of your hard work. I'm one of the few who realize these video's don't make themselves. All my best to you and yours. Jeff

The yellow hummer is just so clean and so cool 😎 it kind of feels like hoovie is making a MTV show with all the early 2000s cars he is buying 😂

Tyler and Bob: "Fill 'er up, please." Floyd: "What'll it be, fellas? Mustard... er ketchup?!"

Hoovie: “These Lambos have buried me in debt. I’m insane for this.” Also Hoovie: “I bought an H1 Hummer!” Wizard: “Baby, we can book that trip to Hawaii. Hoovie done it again.”

Can't wait for Wizzard to see it :) and yes, barn doors with huge windows looks amazing

I’d love to get a surplus Army HMMWV just to beat up. Without all the civilian accoutrements, they’re actually very durable and can handle a lot of abuse. You can fix many things with just a Leatherman. I’ve spent hundreds of miles in the turret and thousands of hours as a driver.

The best description of a Hummer that I ever saw was "an Isuzu truck in a party dress". This from the country that made your magnificent Stingray. Talk about going from the sublime to the ridiculous. Musically it's like going from blues to rap.

Love the yellow, but also wish you had grabbed the "Jurassic park" one, and looked into it! Would have made some great content.

As far as I remember, Arnold Schwarzenegger was the first owner of a „non military „ Hummer in the early 90th. I saw him quite often cruising in Pacific Palisades, Ca. at that time.

Hoovie get ahold of Banks! They have a “kit” for the HMMWV. It’s spendy but worth it! Went from 200 HP and 380 torques to 480 HP and 832 torques! And the AC is upgraded to an industrial unit! It’s 110 in Sealy and inside the HMMWV I’m legit needing a sweater and coat!

I've always liked the look of the H1 since seeing them after my enlistment in the mid 80s but if I'm going spend that much for gas I'm looking for more comfort in the ride. Looking forward to all the content you're going to get with this monster.

I have allways been amazed how little interior space they managed to get out of that a large car. And yes, I know there is reasons for that. But the fact remains that Hummer is kind of unique for a Military vehicle in terms of no space inside.

I always wanted the Hummer! Great for New Orleans craters in the streets!

Ahh, Hoovies Hummer came with the special Ctrl+Alt+Delete arms.

"hooks for dropping from a helicopter", sounds like decent content Hoovie. slightly different than that poor hi-lux i hope:)

Love mustard haha this one is a keeper Tyler, best of luck with it from Mexico 🇲🇽

I am totally jealous. Ever since I was a kid I always wanted those old body hummers

Hoovies garage: the only channel with a 1980's sounding opening theme....

In the 80’s we had a problem with the glow plugs swelling in the head. As a result we could not remove them and GM sent out crate motors that we had to install in motor pool. The Wizard is probably well versed on the woes of a Hummer owner.

You're doing great Tyler, if I was in a position to get a H1 I would

Personally, I like Hummers.

I like how Tyler when he is talking and he shouts Hummer and Humvee to make it sound like he is the boss lol 😂

I know that the Wizard will love that ride. As a previous owner of 6.2/6.5 Detroit diesels, the electronic injection pump would fail and the PMD which was cooled by the injection pump would suffer early failures. The heads would form cracks between the valves, the bottom end was very prone to failures. This was corrected with the optimizer 6500 block by AM General which had more Molybdenum, making for a much stronger block and heads. After that you have a motor that banks can add power to.

Hoovie needs to get a hold of Zach over at Jerry Rig Everything for some spare parts.

I like that they kept the same parking break handle from the military variant. I do like the ambulance doors on the back. One of the press vehicles I saw in Kuwait had a white porcelain looking gauge cluster, maybe that was an option.

I believe that Arnold Schwarzenegger had has Hummers engine replaced with one from a C-6 Corvette.

Glad you're putting another old Hummer back on the road. For what they lack in practicality, they make up for in character. There really is nothing else like it on the road. Obviously not a daily driver but WoW what a cool ride for a cruise now and then. Maybe you could drive on some rough off-road places once it's all sorted. Hope you and the Wiz can get it back to it's former self! Or Cummins swap to make even better than it ever was!

Thank You for all all of your videos that you did. I am enjoying all of them

That mixed metal electrolysis, it makes me wonder if you could rig up some kind of sacrificial anode to cut down on the rust, similar to what they use on salt water ships

Best episode of Car Trek by far. Ive been waiting for some American vehicles. Freddy looks a lot different though, and where is Ed?

ChrisFix would be proud. Y'all should do a Collab of the Hummers. I can already imagine it. Mr.Hoovie and that one fixey guy ChrisFixit

I’ve always loved these. Not the most practical vehicle to have here in NYC 🤙

Wizard's gonna be like, "Aw man, I thought I got away from these!"

These vehicles are very reliable if they are serviced properly, and awesome off road. The only reason these have problems is they are high mileage, and not serviced when they go wrong. They are very stable and will go almost anywhere

Beautiful and gorgeous the "Yellow Goliath" yours!

I like the look (externally at least) of the hummer.... But I wonder what one would be like with a ev conversion, as it's got the room and the chassis for some big batteries ... And would be funny to zip away from some unsuspecting cars in traffic

These are on the top of my Must Own list....

Tyler, you are one epic dude.

I like it, I dont think its obnoxious and has a very real place in suburbia scaring the bejeebus out of small and large hybrids. Cant wait to see the Wizards reaction!

These things are so cool! I wanted one until I drove one and then tried to find parts for it. Still cool to watch what you’ll go thru with it. Maybe See how far it’ll go under water? Wait, Cleetus did that… What about trying to hyper-mileage it? 😳

Can't wait to see the wizard's reaction to mustard 😆

Love how the once symbol of American excess looks "normal" next to modern full size trucks

Diehard Stargate and Hoovie fan here. Made my day seeing the reference in the video.

Hummers are like pizza... even when there bad, there still pretty good.

Tyler over here making me wanna buy a dang Hummer H1 😅

Whenever I see a Hummer, I keep thinking about every hip-hop video from the 1990s and early 2000s.

Colonel Mustard did it with the Freon can in the autozone parking lot.

Where two different types of metals that come together you will develop galvanic corrosion. I would buy a Ford Excursion before I would before I would ever consider an H1.

Tyler, you are my spirit animal.. Cars, Stargate, star trek, and Tucker 48s. You my dude are a legend!

Can’t wait to see this worked on! Amazing content!

As a UK man.. I would love a hummer. But it literally won't fit down my road 😂

I love the hummer H1. I would need a lot of money to make it a viable daily driver though 😂 but I would totally do it

While I've heard the comment before regarding the HMMWV/H1 width based upon tank tracks - I'm not thinking that is the case: An M1 Abrams is 12' wide, and the Bradly M2/M3 are 10.5' wide. Truck aint going to be following those tracks very well. The width of the HMMWV is really determined by the drivetrain components tucked up high in the cabin for ground clearance, plus just a bit of room for a Driver and Passenger. That passenger side is cramped as you noticed. BTW, I drive my yellow 1999 H1 soft-top nearly every day. Love it.

That's nearly the same capacity as the engine in my tractor!

Your buying a Hummer brings back memories of my time as a wheeled vehicle mechanic in the Army, particularly of my time in Korea. One thing I recall was replacing blown 6.2 liter engines because they weren't meant to do over about 50 without a overdrive, and the ones there at the time didn't have that. We did at least 60 in a vain attempt to keep up with Korean traffic, like the Cadillac STS with local plates (not the ones given to military personnel) that absolutely ran off screaming from us. I was there at the end of the last century. I never drank like that before, or frankly, after. Good times... Oh, and one more thing. Running over Priuses? Sounds like weak sauce to me. Doug at least managed to run over an Audi with his Land Rover.

Cant wait to see the Wizards reaction.

When I was a mechanic for the state of California we had a ton of the 6.2/6.5 equipped vehicles. With that experience I will say that I wouldn’t even use one as a boat anchor for fear it would fail at that too.

I’m of the camp who get very excited when they see a real Hummer, but I also acknowledge that everything the haters say about them is probably correct.

0:00 Title trucks..... video cars which one is it! Lol 🤣

When hoovie posts a video. I hit play

I'm getting flashbacks, I was in the Marine Corps when we got the first ones.

There's something about them to people that say; "I would have joined the military but if a Drill Sergeant got in my face I'd punch them." The H1. Brought to you by people that "almost joined the military". The H1. Brought to you by people that have a Facebook profile picture in their "body armor" holding an AR15 at the range. 🤣🤣🤣 Join the Reserve and get paid to learn how to fix them, and get paid 1 weekend a month and two weeks a year to fix them!

The width had nothing to do with tank tracks (Jeremy Clarkson made this "fact" up). It was made just wide enough to fit through the narrowest train tunnel in Europe since it was designed to be a support vehicle during a Soviet land invasion of Europe. Also, the Ford Raptor and TRX have wider track widths FWIW.

the H1 is gorgeous

Wow....definitely figured you put the new control arms on BEFORE your trip home...🤕

Only rural Kansas would still have a JC Penny store.

6.5 turbo was adequate until addon armor was added. Jet fuel was hard on engines as well. The biggest fault was not having a v haul.

There is enough room in the back for an inventory of spare parts and a full set of tools, which you will need to keep this thing on the road. Even a handy seat for a Hummer Mechanic.

Fuel pump failure, head gaskets leaking and the transfer breaking. Mainly the chain inside. But fun to drive great off road adventures to be had.

I'd love to drive a hummer just once here in Ireland on our small roads

I'm so tired from work I listened to that whole ad.

The H1 tends to be more acceptable than the H2 with a lot of people. At least the H1 has off-road credibility. The H2 is just "conspicuous consumption" in it's most insidious form.

from Brazil: what a badass piece of automotive history!!! please gave that car a treatment it deserves, AND DRIVE THIS GRETTA Z PEOPLE KILLER arround, this thing deserves to be seen and drove haha.
