DrivingHummer

DrivingHummer Finally after a very long delay and de-railed plans I finally find myself in possession of a Hummer EV.

How I got here is an interesting tale, from a broken Edition 1 reservation, intense anger for GM, to today owning a 2024 2X SUV with Off-Road Pkg

Missed one more thing from the Amazon-ians. Sun shades for the 4 Sky Panels. These are form fitted for the panels with the intent of reducing sun intrusion. I have the opaque panels so not sure the benefit is there but if you have clear/transparent probably high on your list and these will work. The kit includes retention clips to hold them in place but didnt include tape/adhesive to do so, so what you are seeing is them being held in by pressure. Rears are better than the fronts if you dont want clips and such. fronts a very prone to dropping out.

Hummer getting ready to do hummer things. Factory roof rack and Thule Compass Kayak Rack. Off to the lake.

The factory rack is a Thule rack and interestingly if you catch a GM accessories 20% or better sale it's cheaper than buying from Thule.

Install is truly as easy as it gets with the mounting points already in place but if anyone cares happy to do a video showing the process.

Had the opportunity to try out a couple of "cosmetic" add ons for the Hummer EV from the good folks at Amazon. I say cosmetic but clearly all do add a level of protection.
Shown:
1. Console Covers in Matte Black w. moonscape
2. Front lower bumper grill guard. Metal. Factory mounts. No mods
3. Tow Hook Covers. Red but other color options
4. Door Handle well covers. Black plastic
5. Volume know cover. Aluminum
6. Front marker light "smoked" covers

Not sure any of these standout as must haves and the price point definitely comes with a Hummer EV premium that doesn't help the cause. Console covers and k**b are nice. Took hook covers look good but purely cosmetic and useless if you actually use your hooks for anything. Also hold water so yeah, no. Handle and lights add some protection and looks but that's about it. Grill guard is well constructed and I suppose if you are running off road or on gravel or the like this could add a necessary level of protection for sticks, stones, etc coming up. Far better than the factory plastics but again solves a problem I suspect 99% of the market doesn't have

I think I have some short videos of all if anyone wants more info. Just let me know in comments and I will expand in a new post.

For the record I don't consider this off roading but just finished up a trip to the Shenandoah Valley and this was clip of the partial drive up to our AirBNB. Made for such a better feel and joy then pulling out on and onto pavement. Such fun and giving me motivation to get with the Hummer Clubs October AoAA trip. Warm up to things to come. I sure hope so.

Though the focus has turned to the EV I also still own an 03 Hummer H2 however it has been mothballed for the better part of a year now. Issues with brake lines and the ABS Brake Module. Sadly the ABS Module is a holy grail part that at the time was stupid expensive. Looking today (6/26) looks like prices have come down a bit and more reasonable. Planning to revisit in the fall and try and get it back on the road and into the mix. Hence the sites name DrivingHummer not DrivingHummerEV :)

Happy 4th and 250th to the greatest country of them all!

More soon along with the tale of how I got to owning a Hummer EV. Stick with me as I share my tale as it wasn't linear by any means getting to this point. Quite colorful actually and still no love for GM. More on this soon. Plus new Adventures and more in the days head.

Interesting.... Maybe there is a story left to be told
