    Detroit outfit Mil-Spec is talking a problem that is much easier said than done: un-shitboxing the Hummer H1. You see, the original Hummer seemed cool at the time, but it was a seriously terrible vehicle. Underpowered, with half-thought accessories and a tendency to overheat, not to mention GM's injection-molded interior. Mil Spec rebuilds the H1 from the frame rails up, drops in a new powertrain, re-designs the entire interior for better ergonomics, accessories, and sound, and, sells them ready to go, starting at $218,000

    Lots of people asking about rattles. I take it none of you have ever been in an actual Hummer, which are the creakiest, most shoddily built vehicles ever. Even if you rebuild the whole thing, there will be some rattles if you’re going off-road. The clamshell hood is designed to shake around, that is totally standard. But this is a MASSIVE improvement from a stock hummer in the NVH department.

      A bone stock H1 is like a paint can half full of nails and screws in a paint shaker.
      By comparison, this Mil-Spec unit is remarkably quiet. The fact that you can hear him (and his passenger) doing proper narration is telling. Were they doing this in a stock job, they'd have to ADR or just voice-over everything afterward.

    this looks like a military surplus with an interior? this does not look like a factory civilian h1

    Was the camera hand held all the way? Timmy must have very stable hands. 👍

    just based off of the interior alone, that hummer looks fucking bad ass!

    Before he said anything I was thinking it was going to be around 100G, but 200G blew my mind.

      Didn't surprise me. Consider that classics that cost a few times more don't get fully disassembled and restored because it's too expensive.
      This thing starts out as a H1 in a good shape that gets fully restored, they buy a crate engine, build it, make a new roof, interior, upgrade the suspension, brakes and the list goes on. That's very labor and time intensive and keep in mind that you don't pay minimum wage for that sort of work because you want someone who knows what they're doing.

    A quarter of a million bucks for a Hummer? That earns a giant FUCK THAT!
