During one of Team Hummer’s recent trips to Baja, they took a little time off to play around in some silt beds. Josh and Rod Hall are Team Hummer’s primary drivers, and it looks like they have some stock units to ‘field’ test in between races. The stock H3’s performed …

After hosting several Hummer off-road events (see the write-up on our latest outing), we’ve used several different types of radios. The last few we’ve used two-way handheld radios that we experienced little success. And by little, I mean completely worthless outside of 50 feet. We needed something to communicate clearly …

Even though some of the roads are a little rough in Dallas, you have to drive a little ways to get into some good, Hummer off-road territory. We drove a little further than usual to hold an event at the beautiful Tonkaway Ranch. And it really is beautiful, just check …

Hummers, mud, rattlesnakes, and scorpions we’re all on hand (almost literally in some cases!) this weekend as we helped prepare for the upcoming Hummer Happening event for Sewell Hummer customers.

Todd Hubbard is a vehicle dynamics engineer for the H3 division of Hummer, and he’s doing something that would make most General Motors engineers cringe: Giving advice on physical modifications to an H3. Typically engineers at the corporate level preach about how the vehicles have gone through YEARS of testing, …

Ever wonder what its like to ride in the Team Hummer H3? The GM Marketing site igotshotgun.com recently had a contest do just that – and had the cameras rolling. The video shows the modified Hummer H3 racing through the Baja at crazy speeds. Imagine driving like that for 500 …
