Great forum!
This sounds crazy but I got here kind of by accident. I have always loved Hummers but thought I could never afford one. High School football coaches have to stick to moderate pickup trucks if you know what I mean. Anyway, my wife drives a Jeep and I took it to the dealer we bought it from to have some things worked on. For a loaner they gave me a 2006 H2 to drive. Big mistake, for me. I'm in LOVE! So now I'm looking to purchase but I must be very careful because I must be sure I can afford it.
I have been researching the forum to find what things I should be checking to know whether this is a good buy. The things I have heard is:
1. Header - check VIN number and all that! That could be a deal breaker for sure.
2. Adventure Package
3. Diff. bushings
4. CV's for cracks - Question: what is a CV?
5. Exhaust Manifolds
6. Plastic Forks in TC
Anything else that anyone would advise I check or ask about?
I'm not planning to do any hard core climbing. I want to begin ocean kayak fishing so I would like to have it for driving in sand and hauling a kayak or 2.
Any help or advice is much appreciated. You guys sound really knowledgeable! Thanks!
