H1 Hummers (military and civilian) use inboard mounted brakes to accommodate the gear reducing hubs and give the vehicle silly amounts of ground clearance
+1 on the roof-mounted Elise, FWIW

One day ....
Removed 690 lbs of stereo equipment from truck today
Nice to have some cargo space
Went to register truck today. Come out to parking lot wth a mid 60s white guy starting at truck
old man: is this ugly thing yours
me: yes
old man: what did you pay for this piece of junk
me: 100k
old man: your car is ugly and you are stupid
me: yes sir
old man: I was in the service 31 years. Had to drive this. I used to be stupid like you.
me: thank you for your service. One day I hope to not be stupid
old man: I hate the service. Wish never went in
me: have a good day
Yup. Sounds about right.
I should probably upgrade the sound system in my truck.

Ordered the most expensive air filter I ever needed

Finished painting grille black. No more body color
I don't recall ever seeing a photo of your vehicles being wet. And the water appears to be falling from the sky?!
Good call on ditching the system. Truck looks good!

100% correct
8 days of rain a year. My bikes/cars never leave garage in those 8 days.
however, had a very late night. Left H1 in driveway. Must/fog/light rain - H1 got caught
Oh well - it will certainly lower resale value . But the stock market and RE gains, will offset the H1 loss 
New wheels and tires are here. Talked to Tom Cepek and had him set me up with cepek wheels and tires . . . Going down 4 sizes!
No more broke rapper!

By recollection, the GVWR was high enough that they were non-catalyst vehicles.

General Exhaust Info:
1996 Turbo Diesel HUMMER H1 exhaust system described by AM General as a "tandem mounted," basically meaning in that case a Cat. Converter was mounted in line (in tandem) with the Muffler. Not to be confused with AMG's exhaust system for the 1996 Unleaded Fuel ONLY Gasoline power trucks where there is a "Split Catalytic System" utilizing 2 Converters PLUS 2 "tandem mounted" Mufflers under the L.H. Rear Wheelhousing.

I almost want to drive the Flex down to you for that sub board just to shove it in and see if works!
I too drove H1s in the service. I too would never buy one for personal use. I can relate to the old codger. I look forward to following along though. 690 lbs of stereo! Wow!
In reply to AnthonyGS (Forum Supporter) :
Yeah, but would you approach a total stranger in a parking lot and tell them their car is stupid and they're an idiot for buying it? What a dick!
In reply to Furious_E (Forum Supporter) :
I would never tell anyone their car is stupid let alone a stranger. I commend Mr2s for his graciousness.
