Has anyone tried jumping their H2 and cracked the windshield? *** MANY PICS ***
It appears that I am not alone on this issue. If you jump the H2 - the windshield cracks on the lower right. Anyone see the episode of Viva La Bam when Bam jumps his hummer? Same thing happened. The windshield breaks in that same spot.
I just replaced my 3rd windshield. Was off roading up at BeaveRun (www.beaverun.com) with my 2008 H2 in the winter and decided to jump a hill at 35 mph. I landed front wheels first and that was it. The A Pillar spot welds also tore. Just wondering if anyone else had the same problems.

Where in Pittsburgh are you at? Mt. W here...
Yes things break - I am working on a suspension lift for the truck as well as seriously preparing it for more events up at BeaveRun... No more offroading til fall for me tho... I am going to put on my new wheels I bought. 24" Dub Pimpstar's with 315/50-24 Terra Grapplers. The Pimpstars are NOT an easy task to put on let me tell you. I have them in the garage mounted and balanced... Gotta find the time and some help to install these. Take a look here - Heres the install directions :

Pimpstars don't look like great offraod wheels. I have never purposely tried to jump a Hummer. I have had the front end come down a little harder than I wanted but have not cracked a windshield yet. An un areodynamic 6000# brick probably doesn't land gracefully.

I bought mine up north at Queensway Motors in Toronto, Ontario when I was visiting family there in August.
Yes the Pimpstars are not an offroad wheel. I leave the factory wheels/tires on for that stuff.
I had a set of 24" Echelon Rolexx wheels on it a few months back - Heres a pic of it down at PPG. The wheels were VERY VERY heavy and never balanced out right. Crappy castings from Japan.
