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!
How did you comment so early
How did you comment so early?
Tbf this Hummer is the colour of dehydrated piss the morning after a night on the beers
Urination Bob
Haha hoovie has said EuroAsian Bob's name wrong so many times Bob had to yell while writing is account name.
It's not urination bob
It's EUROASIAN Bob
8:08 Unirination Bob living up to his name
I just about lost it when Tyler said, "The Ronald McDonald Army still going strong" 🤣🤣🤣
"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!
The thing about the old Hummers is that they do cool shit when you have a Defense Department maintenance budget.
When you have an annual budget of x billion dollars a year, you don't tend to worry about little things
Dropping out of C-130's it's Airborne Hummers! Till the chute lines get cut.... Will there be civilian MRAPS?
Maybe when you're in training, scarey to be in the killing fields of Kandahar hoping you get back to base!
It’s not so bad to maintain a fleet when you have a team of employees who work exclusively on your fleet. So basically Hoovie with Omega
In theater, the HMMWV was the least reliable vehicle in the motor pool and hell to work on. I was happy to be a mechanic who only drove my HEMTT wrecker outside the wire.
"Keeping it for the long haul" - see you in 8 months-ish when you've got the for sale sign on it hoovie lol
Don’t forget through cars and bids
he should have bought a PINZGAUER
@@pinzgauernorcal now thats a real military vehicle! Pretty durable too
To be fair, that is the long haul by his standards.
@@FishFind3000 And before that, having it fixed and sorted by the Wizard, and then never show it again except in the background of a video before selling it :P
"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.
The hysterical laughing you hear when driving away was the seller, delirious in dumping 2 boat anchors in one shot!
Tyler's new game of "Clue": Colonel Mustard in the garage with a payment book. ;D
LOL!! I love 'Clue'!! Colonel Mustard!! 🤣
Perfect. Colonel Mustard will play "homage" to its "military" history.
Mean Mr Mustard screams in park
Leaks on the carpet trying to bankrupt Tyler
Sweeps the hooptie fleet row
Making vids to fix its leaks
Keeps another issue up his sleeve
Such a mean old man
Such a mean old man
His sister Ketchup is worked on in the shop
She never stops, she's a gold-digger
Makes him to stop his beeps
Always throws out something obscene
Such a dirty old man
Such a dirty old man
Can’t wait to see that the Wizard thinks about it and finds wrong with it. I’ve always loved the wagon H1’s.
I'm hoping the drive was enough to get all the seals saturated again, curious how leaky it'll be after sitting so long. Also looking at those arms wonder how much rust there is elsewhere underneath!
@Neil
Yacht?!
I bet Wizard is looking for a (small) plane now.
I remember he did a item about planes (His brother-in-law does have a plane)...
@@FrankypankyV8 Por que no los dos?
The Wizard will say he fixed it and then Hoovie will show the Wizard that he needs to brush up on his magic. 🤣
The wizard needs a cessna 182 or a piper malibu.
Tyler and Bob: "Fill 'er up, please."
Floyd: "What'll it be, fellas? Mustard... er ketchup?!"
Classic! A real knee slapper!
Aw yes the Spongebob Movie reference i love it.
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.
Lived in one of these in Iraq...
And in Afghanistan.
If I never sit in one again I'll be fine. 🇺🇸👍🏼
Thank you for your service!
ThangU for your service
@Martin damn
You and Bob NEED Heinz matching plates for Ketchup and Mustard! 😂
Heinz for Bob, French's for Hoovie.
Did he call him urination bob @ 3:39
He always calls him urination Bob
@@maxp2305 And Bob has started to lean into it whenever he appears by making colorful references. This one with the pit stop at 100 miles, for example.
Hoovie: Everything seems fine.......
Wizard: I'll be the judge of that!
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
Euronation Bob lolz
He did mark his territory on it though..
@@TheBibliofilus 😂
@@dawickedj EuroAsian Bob...
@@AndrewAMartin fair enough
The speedometer being loose is actually a feature - it allows for calibration. Just tighten the set screw with the needle at 0. lol
That’s a neat feature, not that’d you would need to know how fast you’re going when driving they a stream or a river but very cool indeed
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.
This is going to be great watching you guys give this truck a new life.
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.
What tank is so narrow?
Which tank is that small?
@@xiukn8 These began being developed back in the Vietnam days I believe and went into production in the early 80's, maybe there were smaller tanks in service back then.
@@coffelt683 i mean, what model? Cuz it sounds like complete bs
Even something relatively small like a 432 is far wider. The Vietnam era M48 was 12ft wide, as is the more modern Abrams, so I suspect this track thing wasn't the reason.
I feel like Euroasian bob calling has been screen play and comedy, he’s hilarious and love whenever he appears in hoovies vids
His Channel has some quality content as well. True car guy.
Thanks guys!
"hooks for dropping from a helicopter", sounds like decent content Hoovie. slightly different than that poor hi-lux i hope:)
First big snow that thing will make an amazing video can't wait.
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 😂
You think rust holes are clean? 😂
@@trainman665 beside that 😂
@@trainman665 easy coast clean
I thought he was going to buy two, the yellow and the house paint one and make one really nice one then sell off the knacker.
Clean, you have no clue.
8:14 that was a real URINATION BOB moment
Was looking for this comment
Indeed, Weeeeezard keeps correcting Hoovie by annunciating his name every time, and Bob himself has his YT handle as an all caps EUROASIAN. Hoovie proves us all wrong!
Notice that Urination Bob got his revenge on *Hoovie's* vehicle.
Bob: Hoovie you got a leak
Hoovie: Maybe wizard will taste it
Bob is such a friendly guy. I love it when he pops up in videos.
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.
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 👍🏻
I never had anyone say a bad thing about me because I bought one. In fact my more crunchy neighbors loved it.
An H1 might be alot of things but "ugly" ain't one of them. It's the perfect utilitarian design.
@@nothingtoseaheardammit I personally think they look like a lot of fun!
@@Skrenja True, I saw Doug Demuro off-roading in his and I was well impressed. Running one of them here in Scotland would be a massive challenge though!
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!
Sealy texas? Related to any other Hennessey's?
Can’t miss! Hats of to you and your family making dream cars for as long as I live!
This isn't a Humvee tho. It's s civilian h1
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.
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.
Love the yellow, but also wish you had grabbed the "Jurassic park" one, and looked into it! Would have made some great content.
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.
Thank you for your service!
I almost bought one from auction while in iraq but my truck got totaled while deployed so I shelved that idea
Go buy Bob's.
@@IraqVet0608 cool. Ironically, my truck got totaled while I was deployed as well. Where were you at?
I always wanted the Hummer! Great for New Orleans craters in the streets!
Tyler, I'm a 60 year old father of 4 and just wanted you to know you are my favorite CZcamsr! 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
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.”
At this point the wizard is looking for islands to buy in Hawaii.
Trip? By now Wizard can probably sponsor Hawaii. “Aloha to Ha’Wizard”
Ahh, Hoovies Hummer came with the special Ctrl+Alt+Delete arms.
I am totally jealous. Ever since I was a kid I always wanted those old body hummers
Can't wait for Wizzard to see it :) and yes, barn doors with huge windows looks amazing
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.
Any SUV built on a truck frame has the same drawback. The H1 is the champ of cramp
It's not even that they're really safe 😂 obviously the armored versions have more of a reason to be tight inside but as someone that worked on military humvees I can say there is absolutely no reason they should be as cramped as they are.
@@rjechols2059 yeah, I have not been around a lot of Hummers (I live in Sweden, after all). But I've been in some - and I have been in lots of Land Rover Defenders and in some of the military version of Mercedes G-wagen. Both are quite a bit smaller then the H1, and both has at least the same interior space for crew.
There are spacious military vehicles?

Hoovie needs to get a hold of Zach over at Jerry Rig Everything for some spare parts.
He’s going to do a durability test on hoovies hummer
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.
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.
I like how Tyler when he is talking and he shouts Hummer and Humvee to make it sound like he is the boss lol 😂
Hoovies garage: the only channel with a 1980's sounding opening theme....
Ok
The 8-bit guy says hello
Jimmy Broadbent's is pretty 80s, as is Bad Obsession Motorsport's
I heard his tune in other (professional) YT video’s / channels, very cognitively dissonant!
Can't wait to see the wizard's reaction to mustard 😆
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.
Urination Bob marking his territory on the road trip !! “Bob was here” 🤣🤣🤣
I believe that Arnold Schwarzenegger had has Hummers engine replaced with one from a C-6 Corvette.
Diehard Stargate and Hoovie fan here. Made my day seeing the reference in the video.
Wizard's gonna be like, "Aw man, I thought I got away from these!"
Love mustard haha this one is a keeper Tyler, best of luck with it from Mexico 🇲🇽
Perfect, a hoovies Garage video help distract me from the pain of recovering from having my wisdom teeth removed.
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.
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
Thank You for all all of your videos that you did. I am enjoying all of them
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
Just starting - czcams.com/video/YxkPuEmIX4U/video.html
Doesn't Arnold have one?
Very cool to see you both driving right by my house in Colorado Springs!
You're doing great Tyler, if I was in a position to get a H1 I would
This is one of the most interesting find/purchase on CZcams rn
Can’t wait to see this worked on! Amazing content!
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.
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? 😳
Hummers are like pizza... even when there bad, there still pretty good.
But the cars are awful....

Best episode of Car Trek by far. Ive been waiting for some American vehicles. Freddy looks a lot different though, and where is Ed?
🤣 took me a second
Ed couldn't find a flood Hummer
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.
I love that driver focused cockpit seat! I wish more vehicles did that!
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
the Yellow is awesome, looks like a cut and shut School bus :D
Yes almost like the short bus 😹
For the low coolant light, check the sensor that is in the expansion overflow ranivore. They go bad and are easy to change.
Tyler over here making me wanna buy a dang Hummer H1 😅
Tyler, you are one epic dude.
When hoovie posts a video. I hit play
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!
This is so roadkill I love it please do more of these where you go to another state and buy a hoopie and roadtrip it back to Kansas
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.
Same with early Land Rovers and Range Rovers.
In case anyone is wondering, it is also called Bimetallic Corrosion when you mix Steel or Aluminum which will create an active Cathode/Anode setup. If someone would make a NEW VERSION of this HUMVEE style but totally made of Carbon Fibre Composite and have a high-torque Cummins Diesel with a BIG long-range fuel tank it would be truly fantastic off-roader/overlander/boondocker vehicle!

I bought that shirt in that color! Very comfortable!
Hoovie, you and I are very different people, but I appreciate your brutal, self-deprocating honesty ❤️
Colonel Mustard did it with the Freon can in the autozone parking lot.
Always good to see a video with Urination Bob
I’ve always loved these. Not the most practical vehicle to have here in NYC 🤙
Up next in Hoovies Garage a old military tank
Wizard: I remember working on these things
Kascar llc in Greenville SC also carries Hummer parts, military and civilian.
Whenever I see a Hummer, I keep thinking about every hip-hop video from the 1990s and early 2000s.
That's nearly the same capacity as the engine in my tractor!
I'm so tired from work I listened to that whole ad.
The Hummer Hustle! I love it! Maybe you and bob can dance your hummers together.
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
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.
I'm getting flashbacks, I was in the Marine Corps when we got the first ones.
Beautiful and gorgeous the "Yellow Goliath" yours!
Love how the once symbol of American excess looks "normal" next to modern full size trucks
This is a solid observation. Like a normal family sedan has 20 inch wheels and it looks normal... 20 years ago 16 inch wheels were pretty standard and looked quite proportional.
Same effect when you park a full-size land yacht like a Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, or Town Car next to a modern full-size SUV, crossover vehicle, or pickup - the Panthers look like tiny compacts
Cant wait to see the Wizards reaction.
For the long haul: 4 or so videos until the Car Wizard squashes the mechanical bugs, and next stop: Cars & Bids XD. I felt like the intro was kind of a response to my comment on the previous video haha
Saw the sign for inter quest parkway. Looks like you drove through the Springs. Thats where I live!
Now that he’s got his boat situation all straightened out, it looks like this Hummer will start the Car Wizard shopping for airplanes! 🛩
the H1 is gorgeous
I wouldn't say they're "gorgeous" but they definitely look cool!
